摘要: Over the past few years, state governments and entities have become concerned with the energy consumption and efficiency of their facilities. An effective manner to identify potential to reduce energy and water consumption and increase building efficiency as well as track the effect of improvements is to establish a facility's baseline resources use as completed in phase one of Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) research program. This baseline information when compared to similar facilities can be used to justify changes to improve the current facility. KDOT has funded a second phase of research that focused on establishing a proper auditing procedure as an additional and more complete method of identifying the areas within their buildings that should be considered for improvement. This second phase of the research not only established a procedure for the audit but also created a list of the most common areas within KDOT owned facilities that may be considered for improvement. This list of recommendations can be used as a starting point but can also be further analyzed for their economic viability using the spreadsheet created to calculate the life cycle costs and return on investments. The audit procedure, as well as the economic spread sheet, was created in a manner that individual facility managers will be able to use them to assess the buildings under their supervision.
