Inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems

Sharing information on inspection of boilers, heating installations and air-conditioning systems as required by the EPBD and its recast.

This community aims to share knowledge and discuss experiences on the inspection of boilers, heating installations and air-conditioning systems as required by the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). This community is particularly interested by the transposition of articles 14, 15, 16 and 18 of the EPBD recast by European Union Member States into their national laws. An other issue concerns the methodologies and measurements for on-site inspections of boilers and air-conditioning systems. This community welcomes all professionals, and more generally all persons, that are interested by the topic of inspection.
