Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

COFELY-BESIX offers a range of specialist refrigeration and air conditioning services to ensure your plant’s optimum performance and full compliance with current and future legislation. Our highly experienced engineers provide a complete turnkey service that covers initial design and installation through to commissioning and ongoing maintenance.

COFELY-BESIX’s innovative optimisation program uses non-invasive technology to record strategic points and calculate key parameters that measure air conditioning performance. Based on this “live” data, our optimisation specialists fine-tune the system for optimum performance.

COFELY-BESIX will help you:

Inspect systems in accordance with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive and obtain Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) TM44 efficiency standards certification
Evaluate systems that use HCFCs and advise on the most cost-effective way to phase out these refrigerants (EC Regulation 2037/2000)
Comply with F-Gas regulations
