Overview: The article states that sometimes before one can move forward, he needs to find out exactly where he is and just how he got there. This is particularly true for facility executives seeking to improve the operation of their facilities. Before improvements can be made, they must first determine the state of their facilities; otherwise, facility executives risk investing in solutions that do not address the real problem. Building audits can both determine the state of a facility and identify cost effective actions to improve its operation. The building audit with the narrowest scope is one that examines a single building system or component, such as a roof or a standby power system. Having a narrow scope does not necessarily mean that the audit is simple, or that the identified options are easy or inexpensive to implement. Once the audit has been completed, the facility executive will have a detailed understanding of the conditions that exist in the facility, a list of measures that can be implemented to improve the operation, and a financial analysis of the impact of each of those measures in short, a road map for facility improvement.
