Hello and welcome to the facility Conditions Assessment Input Menu Video
from the Energy Audit Main Menu,
you can see the BAT includes several input forms that are designed
specifically for collecting facility condition assessment,
FCA information
Locations throughout the BAT that have to do
with facility conditions assessment are red.
Having presented the menu structure for Energy Audit and other videos,
the FCA included Submenus are divided as follows
Substructure, Shell
Interiors Services, equipment, furnishings,
special construction and building,
demo, building site work,
waterfront structures and utilities.
The FCA input menu is very similar
to the energy audit input menus. Because of the direct
overlap in data collection and data collection methods,
the FCA input menus are generally shared
with the energy audit input screens
such as at the bottom of most input menus.
However, recognizing
differences in nomenclature,
the BAT employs a dedicated menu
that relies on unit format codes to help FCA auditors
find their way to required data inputs as quickly as possible.
As seen below, the main menu includes the first level
single letter designations at a high level.
Selecting a two digit unit format code, example A10, will launch
an additional intermediate menu intended to focus the user's navigation.
Click on D20.
As I am doing now, the new page
provides an example of an intermediate navigation window launched with the user
selects D20 under the D services menu option from the main menu
selection from this intermediate navigation
menu will take the user directly to shared menus with FCA Sub menus.
Select D 2010.
Potable Water as I am doing now,
You should now be in the energy
audit input page for potable water.
In this example, the red sub menu items shown to the left
are also ways to launch dedicated FCA only input screens.
However, FCA inputs
can be found on every input screen, usually located at the bottom,
and it is appropriate and expected that energy auditors and FCA auditors
will use as much or as little of the available data
input as needed to complete their assessment.
These menus will require the user to be more specific
on the data entry category required so that they can be brought more quickly
to the desired entry screen. In some circumstances,
FCA only input screens and submenu structures have been created to gather
more information that is not directly related to energy use.
An example of one such menu
as F 2020 hazardous components.
You can find this page by clicking the main audit menu button on the header
and then selecting F 20 from the FCA menu
and then selecting F 2020.
These screens tend to be less complex
and are focused on gathering data that is useful in FCA reporting.
In this example, all sub forums are FCA only.
It is important to point out the following inputs
are available on almost every BAT input screen.
Current Cost Repair.
Present Replacement Value.
Condition Index.
A dedicated Condition Assessment Note Field
Kept separate from General note also available on almost all input screens.
Note that entering these fields is generally not required.
This maintains flexibility for all users.
