02 The roof

Start at the plant.

Open the inspection and walk to the unit. Everything you capture from here is filed against this system as you go: no notebook, no typing it up tonight.

03 Capture

Take the photograph.

The same condition photograph you would take for your evidence. The app files it against the unit and starts reading it straight away.

04 The data plate

Photograph the data plate.

Round the side of the unit, photograph the plate. Manufacturer, model, serial number, year, refrigerant and charge are read from the photo and filled in. Anything it can't read clearly is left blank for you, never guessed.

05 Answered by the app

The photograph answers the questions.

Condition and housekeeping are read from the photo and filled in automatically. For anything a photograph can't show, tap All as expected to confirm those groups in one go, or answer each question using your own judgement and experience. Every answer remains yours to change.

06 Down the riser

Follow the pipework down.

Start at the plant on the roof and trace it to the terminal units it serves. For each terminal unit, the app records which cooling plant serves it and carries that plant's make and year across.

07 The terminal unit

Same camera, same answers.

Photograph the terminal unit and its condition questions are filled in from the photo, just as they were on the roof. For anything a photo can't show, tap All as expected, or answer each question individually.

08 The controller

Point it at the controller.

The operating mode and the setpoint are read off the controller's own display and filled in. You confirm the rest of the controls questions.

09 The report

The report is drafted. You sign it off.

Generate report writes the executive summary and the recommendations from the survey. Read each section, reword it if it needs it, and accept it. Nothing reaches the XML that you have not accepted.

10 The XML export

Export before you leave site.

When nothing is blocking, Export XML lights up. One tap writes the lodgeable ACIR file, checked against every safeguard, ready to upload into Sterling E-Volve Projects.

The Click Inspection Dashboard

Everything the app captures syncs to the dashboard: your inspections, your clients’ sites, the reports and the documents around them. Check it, finish it, hand it over, in your browser.

The Click Inspection Dashboard: inspections in progress, this month and exported, the current inspection, upcoming bookings, activity and a map.

Also on site: the zone sketch

Draw the zone with a finger. The drawings come out to scale.

Sketch each zone in the app while you stand in it. The floor area adds itself up as you draw, and the export is a scaled floor plan and a 3D view, ready for the audit pack.

  • Boxes snap together for L-shapes and bays, and walls come out to make one space.
  • Units, lights, windows, doors and people are placed where they are, and counted.
  • The total becomes the zone’s floor area and occupants, but only when you tap.
The Zone Sketch screen in the app: an L-shaped office of 52 m² and a meeting room of 12 m², drawn on a grid, with ceiling cassettes, lights, windows, doors, a printer and seven people placed. Below it, the total: 64 m², 2 spaces, 7 occupants drawn.
The exported floor plan of Second floor offices at Riverside House: an L-shaped office of 52 m² beside a 12 m² meeting room, with overall dimensions, windows and doors on the walls, every item drawn, a key with counts, a scale bar and a title block.

The summary is the one the app wrote for a sample account’s Riverside House. The building, client and assessor are made up.

Executive summary Riverside House 9 sections, generated from the survey
  1. Cooling PlantFrom the data plates

    The following cooling plants were inspected:

    • CH-01: Daikin Applied; AHU cooling coils; R134a
    • CP-02: Daikin; Offices, floors 1-3; R410A
    • CCU-01: Stulz; Server room; R407C

    Refrigerant charge and CO₂ equivalent

    A refrigerant's CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) is its charge multiplied by its global warming potential (GWP). For the refrigerants found in this building:

    • R134a: 62 kg × GWP 1430 = 88.66 tonnes CO₂e
    • R410A: 11.8 kg × GWP 2088 = 24.64 tonnes CO₂e
    • R407C: 7.5 kg × GWP 1774 = 13.31 tonnes CO₂e

    Across the systems inspected, 81.3 kg of refrigerant is held, a combined 126.6 tonnes CO₂e.

  2. Building Type and Occupancy ProfileFrom the site record

    The premises operates from a two storey building with a total treated floor area of 2460 m², accommodating approximately [TO BE CONFIRMED: occupants] occupants. The premises is generally occupied from 08:00 to 18:00, approximately 50 hours per week. The building construction was observed to comprise brick and block construction, with aluminium framed single-glazed windows and a flat roof. Lighting throughout the building was found to be LED.

  3. Air Handling UnitsFrom the AHU answers

    The AHUs serve the following areas:

    AHU-01 – [TO BE CONFIRMED: area served]
    AHU-02 – [TO BE CONFIRMED: area served]

    Filters and air intakes: Air intake and filter conditions were found to be acceptable. Filters have not been changed in line with current industry guidance. (1 of 2 units) The filter differential pressure gauge, where fitted, was found not to be working. (1 of 2 units)

    AHU Efficiencies and SFP (Specific Fan Power): It has been calculated that the AHUs have a combined average SFP of 2.2 W/(l/s).

The inspection, in words

  1. The roof plant. An office building's cooling plant: an outdoor condensing unit on the roof, its fan turning, among the rest of the rooftop plant.
  2. The approach. The inspector walks across the roof to the unit with the inspection open on the phone.
  3. The photograph. Standing in front of the unit, he photographs it. The app files the photograph against the cooling plant and starts analysing it.
  4. The data plate. Round the side of the unit, he photographs its data plate. The manufacturer (Mitsubishi Electric), model (PUZ-ZM100YKA), serial number, year, refrigerant (R32) and charge (4.0 kg) are read from the photograph and filled in. Anything the photograph does not show clearly is left blank for him, never guessed.
  5. The answers. Back in front of the unit, the condition and housekeeping questions are answered from the photograph. For what a photograph cannot show, he taps All as expected for Operation, Refrigerant & Leak and Maintenance; he could answer each question himself instead. He saves the cooling plant. Every answer stays his to change.
  6. Down the riser. From the plant on the roof, the refrigerant pipework is traced down the riser and along the ceiling void of the second floor, into the ceiling cassette it serves. For each terminal unit, the app records the cooling plant that serves it and carries that plant's make and year across.
  7. The terminal unit. In the office he photographs the ceiling cassette. Its condition questions are filled in from the photograph, as on the roof, and he taps All as expected for the rest, or answers each question individually.
  8. The controller. He photographs the wall controller. The operating mode (Cooling) and the setpoint (21 °C) are read off its display and filled in, and he confirms the remaining controls questions.
  9. The report. He taps Generate report. The executive summary and the recommendations are written from the survey, and he reads and accepts each one. Only accepted sections reach the XML.
  10. The XML export. With nothing blocking, the Export XML button lights up. He taps it, and the lodgeable ACIR file is checked against every safeguard and saved on the phone, before he leaves site. The app confirms: XML file export successful. The file is then uploaded into Sterling E-Volve Projects to lodge the official documentation.

What it won't do

You sign the lodgement, so it matters more that this is honest about its limits than that it sounds capable.

  • It won't invent engineering data

    Seasonal efficiencies, load factors, operating hours and flow temperatures cannot be photographed, and they are never guessed. They stay blank and block the export until you fill them.

  • It won't make the compliance decisions

    Sampling, ratings, recommendations and lodgement stay with the Lead Assessor. The app captures and drafts. It does not assess, and it does not certify anyone.

  • It won't take an answer away from you

    Every answer the app fills in, and every recommendation it drafts, can be changed by you before anything is exported.
