Our Services & Regulatory EPB Audits

A comprehensive suite of HVAC engineering, predictive maintenance, and certified compliance audits across Belgium.

Our 4 Pillars in Engineering & Service

From initial thermodynamic sizing to round-the-clock maintenance monitoring: an integrated lifecycle approach for commercial buildings.

1. Engineering, Energy Audits & HVAC Sizing

Precise engineering sizing based on dynamic thermodynamic heating and cooling load calculations.

Our design office analyzes internal thermal loads, building envelope insulation, solar gains, and occupancy profiles. We determine the exact cooling capacity (kW) and hydraulic flow rates to eliminate oversizing and ensure compliance with strict Ecodesign and EPB energy regulations.

Our Engineering Commitments :

  • Cooling load calculations and thermodynamic simulation models
  • Hydraulic sizing of secondary loops and variable pump skids
  • Acoustic engineering and vibration isolation for rooftop chillers
  • Selection of ultra-low GWP refrigerants (R-32, R-1234ze, R-290) in accordance with F-Gas III

2. Turnkey Installation, Rigging & Commissioning

Rigorous worksite execution by our in-house certified refrigeration specialists and pipefitters.

We take charge of the entire installation process, including heavy crane operations and rooftop rigging for large chillers or air handling units. Our teams fabricate steel, stainless steel, and copper piping under a protective nitrogen purge to prevent internal oxidation, followed by 42-bar pressure tests and deep certified vacuum evacuation.

Our Installation Commitments :

  • Pre-fabrication of modular hydraulic skids and manifolds in our workshop
  • Brazing under continuous nitrogen purge and certified welding procedures
  • High-pressure leak tightness certification and system dehydration
  • Official commissioning with hydraulic balancing and formal handover protocols

3. Preventive Maintenance & Digital Portal

Maximum operational reliability and full transparency via our comprehensive maintenance contracts.

Regular preventive servicing prevents up to 80% of unexpected breakdowns and maintains compressor efficiency at peak performance. Every on-site intervention automatically feeds your **Digital Maintenance Log**, accessible 24/7 on our secure Client Portal for seamless legal traceability during environmental F-Gas audits.

Our Maintenance Commitments :

  • Mandatory refrigerant leak tightness inspections (F-Gas EC 517/2014 & 2024/573)
  • Compressor oil chemical analysis and acidity detection
  • High-pressure coil cleaning and certified antibacterial treatments
  • Instant paperless reports accessible via our online Client Portal

4. 24/7 On-Call Service (Contract Clients Only)

Priority response times and 24/7 hotline standby reserved for contracted maintenance clients.

Because an air conditioning outage in a critical IT server room or an industrial refrigeration stoppage cannot wait, our on-call refrigeration engineers maintain a permanent inventory of OEM spare parts in our Braine-le-Château depot and respond with contractually guaranteed arrival times.

Emergency Framework :

  • Direct 24/7 hotline 365 days a year for contract subscribers
  • Dedicated stock of backup compressors, expansion valves, and controllers
  • Contractually committed on-site emergency response SLA

Regulatory EPB Mandate

The Regulatory Framework & Certified EPB Audits

In Belgium, commercial building owners and facility managers are legally required to perform periodic energy audits on HVAC and heating systems.

EPB Cooling Audit

Periodic EPB Air Conditioning Inspection

Cooling systems with rated effective output > 12 kW

Mandatory statutory audit assessing system energy efficiency, maintenance standards, and appropriate sizing relative to the real thermal cooling loads of the building.

Statutory Inspection Frequency :
  • Output 12 to 100 kW : Mandatory renewal every 5 years.
  • Output > 100 kW : Mandatory renewal every 3 years.
  • Certified Auditor : Exclusively conducted by state-accredited EPB air conditioning experts.

EPB Commissioning

EPB Heating & Heat Pump Commissioning

Boilers & Heat Pumps > 12 kW

Statutory commissioning certificate confirming that the heating installation fully complies with legal EPB ecodesign, thermal insulation, and safety standards.

Statutory Requirement :
  • Strict Deadline : Must be completed within 1 month of commissioning.
  • Accredited Expert : Issued by certified Type 1 & Type 2 heating advisors.
  • Verifications : Flue gas loss analysis, pipe insulation, and controller settings.

EPB Heating Diagnostic

Type 2 EPB Heating Diagnostics

Boilers > 100 kW & Hybrid Plants

In-depth thermal audit determining the overall generation, distribution, and heat emission efficiency throughout the building.

Frequency & Scope :
  • Frequency : Mandatory renewal every 5 years.
  • Scope : Boilers > 100 kW, cascade boiler systems, and hybrid heat pump plants.
  • Deliverable : Registered audit report certifying energy compliance.
