TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection Report Environmental Compliance Audit of Local Authoritie

The request was successful.

Dear Monmouthshire County Council,
This request relates to UK Environmental Legislation, specifically TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection Reporting, which is mandatory for air-conditioned buildings. You as a Local Authority are duty bound to actively manage compliance in your Borough and to issue notices/fine non-compliant organisations.

Q. Have you set up a Trading Standards Officer to implement an active TM44 compliance programme. Provide that person’s name and details.
Q. If you have not set up your compliance programme, when do you expect to do so, and who is in charge of the process?
Q. What specific actions have you undertaken to check on all building operators with air conditioning in your Borough?
Q. How do you notify affected organisations, and how much notice do you give them before issuing a fine?
Q. The Government Non-Domestic EPC Register contains all records of existing TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection Reports, with expiry dates. Buildings not shown on the Register are non-compliant. Do you make use of the Register?
Q. The fine is £300.00 per building for non-compliance, do you reinvest fines and allocate to the Department issuing notices?
Q. It would appear, upon checking of the Landmark Register, that you as a Local Authority have not complied with the Legislation yourselves. When do you intend to comply?

Yours faithfully,

Paul Evans

Hi Paul,

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

The response to your request is as follows:

Q. Have you set up a Trading Standards Officer to implement an
active TM44 compliance programme. Provide that person’s name and
details.

A. The enforcement of the Energy Performance of Buildings (England
and Wales) Regulations 2012 is enforced by the Trading Standards
section within Monmouthshire County Council.

 

Q. If you have not set up your compliance programme, when do you
expect to do so, and who is in charge of the process? 

A. Monmouthshire Trading Standards operates an intelligence led
enforcement process enabling the section to direct their resources
towards issues causing the most consumer detriment. The Trading
Standards team leader manages this process.

 

Q. What specific actions have you undertaken to check on all
building operators with air conditioning in your Borough?

A. None at present.

 

Q. How do you notify affected organisations, and how much notice do
you give them before issuing a fine?

A. Where possible officers would work with organisations to achieve
compliance with the Regulations. Thereafter the notice period would
depend upon the circumstances of the case, but any penalty charge
notices  would comply with the requirements of the Regulations.

 

Q. The Government Non-Domestic EPC Register contains all records of
existing TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection Reports, with expiry
dates. Buildings not shown on the Register are non-compliant. Do you
make use of the Register?

A. No use has been made of the register for this purpose.

 

Q. The fine is £300.00 per building for non-compliance, do you
reinvest fines and allocate to the Department issuing notices?

  A. No penalty charge notices have been issued at present.  

 

Q. It would appear, upon checking of the Landmark Register, that you
as a Local Authority have not complied with the Legislation
yourselves. When do you intend to comply

A. The Trading Standards section is working with the Monmouthshire
Estates Section in connection with compliance of relevant units.
