Overview of Assessment Tasks
Pre-assessment
Assessment
Report Development
Major Tasks
Client Recruitment Data Collection Team Preparation (including
safety concerns) Equipment Check
Pre-assessment Tasks
Client Recruitment: Make initial contact Explain the assessment process Telemarketing worksheet
Pre-assessment Tasks
Data Collection: Collect initial information—annual sales,
product, annual energy cost, number of employees
Collect additional information—major energy consumers and process equipment, areas of concern, operating hours
Pre-assessment Tasks
Data Collection: Obtain electric and other energy bills—
not summaries Obtain equipment list and plant layout if
possible Get directions to plant and confirm
assessment date and time
Pre-assessment Tasks
Pre-assessment Exercise
Team preparation: Meet at least once prior to assessment to
discuss plant Students should be employees, not visitors Be aware of any safety requirements the
plant has Assign tasks to students Decide what equipment to take Make sure all equipment is in working order
Pre-assessment Tasks
Introductory Meeting Plant Tour Brainstorming Task Assignment Measure Investigation Task Reporting Wrap-up Meeting
Assessment Tasks
Introductory Meeting: Keep meeting brief (15-30 min.) Introduce team Discuss funding source Discuss typical day Describe final report Discuss planned follow-up
Assessment Tasks
Introductory Meeting: Have plant representative summarize
the plant, process, and product Listen to client's needs Review any safety precautions Answer client’s questions
Assessment Tasks
Plant Tour: Keep team together and moving Consider an 8.5” x 11” layout in advance
of tour Don’t let tour guide get ahead of team Keep tour brief: use afternoon for
detailed follow-up See all of the processes and equipment
that is relevant
Assessment Tasks
Brainstorming: Ask students for input Identify major energy consumers and
concerns Consider lighting, compressors, HVAC Peak demand if applicable Fuel switching
Don’t forget client's needs
Assessment Tasks
Brainstorming: Keep team focused on good ARs that
are appropriate for the plant and quantifiable
Assign students or teams to specific ARs
Discuss what data is needed and how to get it
Make sure students understand what is needed
Assessment Tasks
Brainstorming Exercise
Task Assignment: Assign potential recommendations or
types of recommendations to students Make assignments based on who will
write up the measure Assign report sections (e.g., process
description)
Assessment Tasks
Measure Investigation: Discuss what data is needed and how to
get it Make sure students understand what is
needed Distribute appropriate site sheets Secure proper analysis equipment Secure escorts if necessary
Assessment Tasks
Measure Investigation: Typical measurements include:
Temperatures Flow rates (air and water) Motor RPMs and operations Boiler operation Air compressor temperatures and operation
Assessment Tasks
Task Reporting: Have students report back with their findings Students should double check their numbers
Motor rpms in proper range Estimate motor load factors Double check operating hours Verify anything that would be a nuisance to
call back about
Assessment Tasks
Task Reporting: Consider making some on-site
calculations On-site time is valuable
Easiest data to get is what you obtain in the plant on the assessment day
Hardest data to get is what you didn’t get in the plant on assessment day
Assessment Tasks
Wrap-up Meeting: Discuss all ideas considered Have students discuss their findings Explain the next steps to the client
Assessment Tasks
Assignments Report Development Proofing Submittal
Report Development Tasks
Assignments: Post-assessment meeting to review
assessment Review all recommendations with team Assign recommendation write ups
according to student capabilities
Report Development Tasks
Assignments: Discuss what data is needed and how to
get it Determine deadlines
Consider student and staff schedules and loads
Be realistic
Report Development Tasks
Proofing: Review all recommendations and
provide students with suggestions for revisions Consider consistency within
recommendation Consider consistency within report
Students revise original recommendations as needed
Report Development Tasks
Proofing: Assemble report Final review of report appearance Submit to copy service
Report Development Tasks
Report Submittal: Prepare cover letter to client Forward two bound copies to client Submit one electronics copy to the
Rutgers University
Report Development Tasks
