Dear Mr Evans
Re: Freedom of Information Request – Air Conditioning Inspection Report
Environmental Compliance Audit (commonly known as an ACI TM44) for Ark
Schools
I write further to your request of 22nd October 2019 which asked the questions below:
Q. How many buildings do you occupy which have air conditioning. Provide
addresses?
Q. Who is the responsible person for ensuring that your buildings are legally
compliant on this mandatory environmental matter? Provide the name, position,
address, email address and direct telephone number of the responsible person.
Q. All reports are mandatorily lodged on a Government database. No reports are
currently lodged or are out of date, you are therefore non-compliant. Has your
Governing Body been made aware of this breach?
Q. Provide the name and email address of the ultimate person who has made the
decision to ignore this Environmental Legislation.
Q. Provide the name and email address of the Board Principal/Director of the
Organisation.
Q. If you use a Facilities Management Company to manage compliance, who are
they?
I can provide the following responses to your questions:
Q1. Two schools have air conditioning –
• Ark Acton Academy, Gunnersbury Lane, Acton, London;
• Ark Victoria Academy, Talbot Way, Small Heath, Birmingham, West
Midlands.
Both premises have air conditioning inspection audits scheduled
Q2. Head of Estates, 65 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6TD, 020 3116 0800,
