Mandatory Air Conditioning Energy Inspections (TM44) have been introduced to help identify energy saving opportunities and promote sustainability.
Is your building legally compliant? If your air conditioning system has a combined cooling output of 12kW or more, you are legally required to have a TM44 inspection every five years.
At ProGen Refrigeration, we don’t just tick a compliance box. We provide a roadmap to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
We use the industry-leading ACE Wizard software to provide “Advanced” level reporting. Unlike basic inspections, our reports provide actionable data that pays for itself.
We identify specific “Management Actions” that can save thousands. For example, ACE Wizard helped identify over £6,700 in annual savings for a single site through simple control adjustments.
Detailed breakdowns of your refrigerant types (R410A, R32, etc.) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) to help you plan for future phase-outs.
We check if your equipment meets Minimum Energy Performance Standards, ensuring you aren’t overpaying for underperforming hardware.

What it means for you
|
| Efficiency Grading |
A simple A-G rating for your building’s cooling performance.
|
| Operational Savings |
Calculated kWh and £ savings for every recommendation we make.
|
| Hardware Health Check |
Assessment of chillers, AHUs, and split systems (including age and condition).
|
| Carbon Footprint Data |
Total System GWP (Tonnes CO2e) to support your ESG and sustainability goals.
|
| BMS Analysis |
Analysis of your time clocks and set points to eliminate “ghost” energy usage.

Yes. For example, our data shows that even units installed in the last 5 years can fall short of MEPS (Minimum Energy Performance Standards). Identifying these discrepancies allows you to hold suppliers accountable and ensure you are getting the efficiency you paid for.
Improving System Controls. Many buildings have systems running in vacant areas or during out-of-office hours. By correcting time schedules and ensuring BMS interfaces are optimised, you can eliminate “ghost” energy usage. Raising your cooling set points by just 1°C can save approximately 4% on your annual running costs.
We provide a detailed Refrigerant & GWP (Global Warming Potential) analysis. We track the “CO2 equivalent” of your cooling systems to identify high-impact leaks or high-GWP gases. Our reports even suggest “Drop-in” refrigerant alternatives, such as R470A, which can significantly lower your carbon footprint without requiring new hardware.
We partner with ACE Wizard to deliver an advanced reporting suite that sets us apart from standard providers. Every ProGen inspection includes:
Precision Energy Modelling
Unlike standard manufacturer data, the ACE Wizard Standard Calculator estimates SEER and SCOP across 16 different UK regions, providing cost indications within 5% accuracy of actual site conditions. Our reports factor in local temperature bins and part-load ratios to establish the true average output of your systems
The Interactive Client Portal
When you choose ProGen, you don't just get a PDF. You gain access to an online energy portal featuring:
Export full asset lists and energy data directly to Excel for deeper internal analysis. A digital facility to manage your mandatory leak testing records and environmental compliance
Targeted Environmental Impact Analysis
Our ACCEE (Air Conditioning Carbon Emissions Estimator) calculates the impact of potential refrigerant leaks and projected GWP (Global Warming Potential), helping energy managers select the most sustainable systems.
During the inspection, our accredited assessors will:
This process aligns with CIBSE TM44 guidance, ensuring a thorough evaluation focused on performance, usage, and sustainability.
