Dear Paul Evans

 

Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request, as set out in
your message below.

 

By way of response to your first question, I can inform your that the
Northern Ireland Museums Council is aware of the obligation required
concerning air conditioning assessments. However, as we do not occupy a
building with air conditioning there is no need to undertake such an
assessment or hold the appropriate certification. In light of this, as you
will appreciate, no answers can be provided to your other questions.

 

I trust that this satisfies your enquiry.

 

With best wishes

 

Chris Bailey
