    ASSESSMENT OF PERFORMANCE AT SITE INSPECTION


    To evaluate the performance of the system, there are two cases.
    1. When the system is equipped with a metering system capable of measuring the own consumption of the air conditioning system and the useful refrigerated power delivered:
    In this case, the system's performance is evaluated directly, dividing Refrigerated power useful by the total electrical consumption absorbed by the air conditioning system.
    2. When the system is not equipped with a metering system capable of measuring the system's own consumption or power Useful refrigerated refrigerant:
    In this case, the performance evaluation of the system cannot be carried out directly, and the inspector conducts on-site audits to identify possible signs of possible drifts in the system's performance. If more than five identical systems are installed, it is possible to verify a sample of at least five units.
    The elements that have a significant impact on the performance of the system are listed below. It is specified that Annex F to the NF EN 15240 standard can also be used to structure the verification.
    2.1. Air conditioning equipment checks:
    -refrigerant LED;
    -refrigeration line isolation.
    2.2. Fluid distribution network checks, including insulation:
    -state and insulation of pipes and, if applicable, ice-water network operation;
    -a fluid leak sign on the distribution network.
    2.3. Verifications for external heat-release equipment:
    -state and, if applicable, operation of external heat-discharge units;
    -air flow through heat exchangers that discharge heat: check That it is not obstructed;
    -rotation of fans;
    -evacuation of condensates and cleanliness of condensate containers, if any.
    2.4. Internal drive checks:
    -state and, if applicable, internal drives operation;
    -air input and output: check that they are not obstructed;
    -air flow through heat exchangers: Verify that it is not obstructed;
    -incoming air filter state;
    -fan rotation.
    2.5. Verifications for air supply systems in the treated premises:
    -air supply openings, grids or diffusers, air travel taken from the premises;
    -positioning and geometry of air intakes in relation to Air recovery openings.
    2.6. Verifications for air supply systems in air treatment plants and ducts:
    -state of cleanliness or any possible obstruction of filters;
    -adjustment and sealing of filters and envelopes;
    - Heat exchangers: check that they are not deteriorated or severely obstructed by debris or dust;
    -control humidity, wet areas and recovery bin in the presence of rust, depots and Distribution network plugging.
    2.7. New air entry checks:
    -input grids, screens and prefilters: check that they are not clogged or obstructed;
    -air intakes: check that they are not located near local heat sources Or air output.
    2.8. Probes for building system settings and regulatory parameters:
    -compare the day of the week with the current day of the current day shown on the regulators with the actual date and time;
    -identify the defined start and stop periods (for week and weekend days if the timer is installed Of this feature);
    -identify and evaluate the zone heat and cooling temperature control probes;
    -indicate the set temperatures in each zone for heating and cooling by Report on the activities and occupation of areas and premises and in relation to intentions The building manager;
    -to evaluate ways to modulate or regulate air flow in the
    3 power and air-recovery ducts. In order to facilitate and harmonize this measurement element, the Guadeloupe region provides inspectors with the RendementClim_Guadeloupe spreadsheet to estimate system performance using a semi-quantitative method.
    4. The Community standards of an equivalent level which are in force in the rest of the European Economic Area and taking into account the specificities of Guadeloupe, may be used to assess performance under this Annex 2.

    ASSESSMENT OF DIMENSIONNEMENT
    ON SITE INSPECTION


    1. Case where a thermal charge calculation note exists:
    If the heat load calculation note has been retained in the technical file by the contractor or by the enterprise in charge of the operation of the facility, the evaluation The design is attached to the report and the result of the calculation is entered.
    In the absence of this calculation note, the inspector determines the thermal charges using:
    -either the RatioClim_Guadeloupe method described in paragraph 2 of this Annex;
    -either Community standards of an equivalent level which are in force in the rest of the European Economic Area taking into account the specificities Of Guadeloupe,
    -an equivalent calculation method of its choice, in accordance with the terms of this release.
    2. Estimating the dimensioning with the RatioClim_Guadeloupe method:
    The RatioClim_Guadeloupe method, which is implemented as a spreadsheet implementation in the Guadeloupe region, is used to determine an estimate of the surface heat load in W/m² of floor space.
    2.1. Determining the parameters of RatioClim_Guadeloupe:
    To apply the method, the inspector determines the building parameters and populates them in the RatioClim_Guadeloupe spreadsheet.
    2.2. Dimensioning assessment:
    After evaluating the theoretical heat load, the inspector compares this value to the installed power divided by the building's air conditioning. If the report finds an oversize or undersize of the system it considers to be important, it reports it in its report and accordingly provides the appropriate recommendations.
