My understanding is that you have to add all the seperate units together to calculate the total load for your building. If the total is over 250 kw you are due for an inspection now.
Not sure about the second part of your question, but I think the 250 kw relates only to cooling capacity.
Hope this helps
Chris

Could someone clarify something for me please? Directives do not normally become law in this country until a statutory instrument (usually a set of regulations) have been introduced to bring them into UK municipal law. What regulations have been passed to implement this directive and when did they come into force?

With ref to the above (air con directive 09), does anyone know if the 250kw is per unit only ?. I ask this as we have an open plan office with 12 units in it, so do I take a calculation of them all and class them as one ?.

Also, when looking at the kw rating on the unit, it is marked as 5kw for cooling and 6.5kw for heating. Is this added together to give me a unit power of 11.5kw per unit.
Any help would be brill. Andy.
