TM44 Energy Assessments

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.

Why Choose ProGen for your TM44?

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.

Financial Clarity

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.

F-Gas & GWP Tracking

Detailed breakdowns of your refrigerant types (R410A, R32, etc.) and Global Warming Potential (GWP) to help you plan for future phase-outs.

MEPS Verification

We check if your equipment meets Minimum Energy Performance Standards, ensuring you aren’t overpaying for underperforming hardware.

What's Included in Your Report?

Feature
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.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have new equipment; could we still be wasting money?

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.

What is the single most effective way to reduce our energy bills immediately?

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.

How do these inspections help us meet environmental targets?

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.

The ACE Wizard Advantage

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.

What Does a TM44 Inspection Involve?

During the inspection, our accredited assessors will:

  • Visually examine your air conditioning units, controls, and maintenance records.
  • Calculate efficiency metrics, such as Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) and Coefficient of Performance (COP).
  • Provide a customised report with actionable recommendations, like scheduling optimisations or motor upgrades, based on real data from your systems.
  • Advise on alternative solutions if your setup is outdated or inefficient.

This process aligns with CIBSE TM44 guidance, ensuring a thorough evaluation focused on performance, usage, and sustainability.
