Mandatory HVAC inspection and PMOC (Maintenance, Operation & Control Plan) per Brazilian Law 13.589/2018. Covers all system types — split, VRF, chiller, fan-coil. CREA-licensed engineer with ART-backed reports. Comparable to ASHRAE 62.1 compliance.
PMOC is a legally required maintenance plan for any building in Brazil with HVAC systems in collective-use areas.
The law applies to any HVAC system (including small splits) in public or collective-use spaces, regardless of capacity.
We cover all HVAC system types and all major brands used in the Brazilian market.
Wall-mounted, cassette, floor-ceiling, and ducted split units. Single and multi-zone configurations.
Variable Refrigerant Flow systems — heat pump and heat recovery configurations from all manufacturers.
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, chilled water piping systems, and central plants.
Fan-coil units, air handling units (AHU), ducted distribution systems. All configurations.
Packaged rooftop units and self-contained systems for large commercial and industrial applications.
Mechanical exhaust systems, industrial ventilation, kitchen hoods, parking garage ventilation.
Carrier, Daikin, Midea, Springer, York, Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Gree, Elgin, Fujitsu, Trane, Rheem, and all other brands present in the Brazilian market.

PMOC (Plano de Manutenção, Operação e Controle) is a mandatory maintenance plan required by Brazilian Law 13.589/2018 for any building with HVAC systems serving collective-use spaces. It covers maintenance schedules, operating procedures, and indoor air quality monitoring. Non-compliance can result in fines, building shutdowns, and legal liability.
We inspect all types: split, multi-split, VRF/VRV, self-contained, fan-coil, chiller (air and water-cooled), rooftop, ducted, cassette, floor-ceiling, evaporative cooling, mechanical exhaust, and industrial ventilation. All major brands: Carrier, Daikin, Midea, Springer, York, Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Gree, Trane.
Brazilian HVAC regulation (Law 13.589/2018 + Portaria 3.523 + ANVISA RE-09) addresses similar concerns as ASHRAE 62.1 (Ventilation for Acceptable IAQ) and ASHRAE 180 (Inspection & Maintenance). The key difference is that the PMOC is legally mandated in Brazil with active enforcement by health authorities (Vigilância Sanitária), whereas ASHRAE standards are generally adopted voluntarily or through local codes in the US.
Non-compliance with Law 13.589/2018 can result in: fines from the local health authority (Vigilância Sanitária), building shutdown orders, legal liability for building owners/managers, and potential criminal charges in case of health incidents linked to poor indoor air quality (Sick Building Syndrome).
Yes. We deliver bilingual PMOC documentation — the official report in Portuguese (as required by Brazilian authorities) plus an English translation for your corporate records. All communication during the inspection process is conducted in English.
