Author(s) : BORY D., ADNOT J.

Summary

Following the continuous growth of the air-conditioning market and the European Directive on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD), many changes are expected on the European air-conditioning market. The article 9 of the EPBD takes care about the Inspection of air-conditioning systems promoting possible improvement or replacement of the air-conditioning system. The AuditAC project reached its conclusion with a set of deliverables showing: the advantages from the new inspection system, how to benefit from the combination of air-conditioning systems audit and inspection, to promote the best practices and to help harmonising the implementation all over the European countries. The results are delivered in form of tools and guides freely accessible from the AuditAC web site. Ten technical guides and tools for owners, energy managers and auditors have been delivered with the aim to rise the awareness of the users about the energy savings subsequent to a "wise" management of the air-conditioning plant, to discover the energy conservation opportunities of an air conditioned building from a full list of possibilities, guiding auditors in audit procedures and supplying advices to identify the actual system performances and forecast energy savings.
