AUDIT TEAM PROCESS

• Assemble facility data book• Interview Area Manager, D&C, staff, and Facility Manager• Review utility records – establish benchmark• Survey Facility – energy conservation checklist• Identify potential energy projects• Review with Area Manager, D&C, and U&E• Develop Energy Projects (EPS)

– Project description– Estimated savings– Maintenance impact– Summary project cost (supported with detailed calculations)– Saving verification– Summary cost

• Submit above to Facilities AVP thru Director of Facilities O&M for review and approval

RE-CX TEAM PROCESS

• Assemble facilities mechanical systems data book.• Review service call history, maintenance and PM records with Area and U&E teams.• Interview facility manager and building occupants for their perspective on facility

comfort.• Review utility records.• Verify how well mechanical systems operate compared to specifications.• Verify how well mechanical systems installed compare to design intent.• Verify how well system designed as compared to design intent.• Develop list of corrective actions with recommendation on ORRS for corrections.• Review and validate list of corrective actions with Area Manager, U&E Manager, JCI

Representative, Facility Manager, and D&C Engineer.• Upon approval of list of corrective actions by Director of Facilities O&M, publish list

with OPR for each item and ECD.• Report status of corrective actions monthly to Director of Facilities O&M until
