Energy readings for library buildings

Dave Rowe made this Freedom of Information request to Warwickshire County Council Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was refused by Warwickshire County Council.

Dear Warwickshire County Council,

I would like to raise a Freedom of Information request to either your energy manager or relevant building management team.

Please send all energy readings for all public library buildings, for as long as such data is held, and at the level of detail as is held. For example, this could be half hourly gas and electricity usage readings for all library buildings.

This should be sent in a computer readable format, ideally in as close to the original format as is held.

Yours faithfully,

Dave Rowe

Dear Warwickshire County Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Warwickshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Energy readings for library buildings'.

I requested the data you held regarding energy readings for library buildings. I was clear and specific about this, including for you to:

* Send the data 'at the level of detail as is held'
* Send the data in a 'computer readable format'
* Send the data in a format 'as close to the original format as is held'

You can check through the FOI guidance from the ICO, but you will find it is clear in the guidelines that data held in a machine-readable format should be provided as such, so that it is reusable.

What you have done is claimed that the request is exempt, and linked me to some high-level public reports, in a print format (PDF). As interesting as these are, they are not in any way a serious response to my request. They are reports that will have been written by officers having access to the data that I am requesting, but they do not provide the reusable data that I'm asking for. To clarify, I am looking for all your stored energy readings data on library buildings, at the level on detail that they are held. (I say, 'to clarify' but this is explicit and clear in my original request).

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/e...

Yours faithfully,

Dave Rowe

Thank you for your request received on the 20 September 2022. We write to

if we can. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
