Development of the energy audit report on energy conservation in state building project

Abstract

The development of the energy audit report on Energy Conservation in state building project for the standard and correction aimed at the reduction of the mistakes from auditor and the unclear information. The method of research was classified into 5 steps. The first step was to collect the time required for reviewing 50 energy audit reports from 1996 to 1998. Then studied the process and the organization of the existing report . The second step was to do histogram of the mistake from 191 reports. Next used the Pareto Analysis to find the major and minor mistake. The third step was to find the causes of the mistakes by using the fishbone diagram and put the corrective measures into the standard format. Moreover, used Microsoft Excel for making the energy conservation plan. After that used the Pugh Matrix for comparing the standard format to the report in the past. The fourth was to check the completion of the standard format as the term of reference and implemented the standard format to the auditor. The auditor could use the standard format to review it by himself before send to the reviewer. In the same time, recorded the time for reviewing from 70 reports and recorded the mistake from 50 reports. The fifth step was to compare the time for reviewing and mistake between before and after implemented the standard format. The result shows that the consumed time for reviewing was reduced from 11 days to 7.3 days per each report and the mistake at every point was reduced. The next phase of development should apply this method again to follow the updated term of reference to achieve a continuous improvement.
