AuditAC is a new research project that aims to improve the energy efficiency of air conditioning systems across Europe.

It will provide tools and information to enable owners and operators of air conditioning systems to best identify how they can save money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The two-year project, part funded by the European Commission through its Intelligent Energy – Europe programme, includes participants from numerous countries including the UK, whose main participant is Welsh School of Architecture, supported by the BRE and Association of Building Engineers.

The project aims to benefit manufacturers and installers through the identification of genuine customer needs that are likely to lead to new business.
