• Abstract:
  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.
