How Auditing and Certification Are Carried Out

Auditing is the process of evaluation based on a set of standards in quality as declared by national standards organizations. Academic and public service institutions and business establishments are among the entities that are audited. When their quality is assured, they receive certification for it; this is called accreditation. An accredited institution is publicly revealing its good quality, encouraging others to avail of its services.

Quality audit is supported by a set of standards that institutions must attain. For example, medical institutions must hold good standards when it comes to public health and wellness and be staffed by competent medical practitioners, including medical technicians who all value the same ideals. The hospital or clinic must also maintain the infrastructure suitable for people recovering their health. Hence, the hospital possesses adequate equipment and firm and solid infrastructure. "Adequate equipment" includes safety features like fire extinguishers, smoke-detecting sprinklers, and emergency exits accessible for both patients and staff.

Energy audit is quality audit geared toward energy conservation in a building. This can apply to any business or public service establishment. Hospitals, factories, and residential buildings are covered here; a home must support the family it shelters with sufficient and efficient electricity. The electric supply that powers the institution is measured and evaluated as well as the equipment involved.

Benchmarking is also called the simple audit, screening audit, or walkthrough audit because this process involves simple observations of the infrastructure and facilities of an establishment. The operating personnel are briefly interviewed; the facility utility bills are reviewed; and the auditor walks through the establishment. Benchmarking is sometimes called a preliminary audit because a more extensive auditing process may follow.

In the preliminary audit stage, other aspects of the infrastructure and its energy consumption are also assessed. If its quality matches the standards, the establishment may achieve ESD 20:20 Certification. This may apply both to business and public and private infrastructure, including residential buildings.

Infrared thermography is an extensive and thorough method of energy auditing. An infrared thermal image of the infrastructure shows the patterns of surface temperature. These patterns are analyzed, and strengths and weaknesses are found. If any flaws are found, methods for improvement are carried out so that the establishment can pass the ISO 9001.

Pollution audits are becoming essential aspects of energy audits because of the widespread awareness of global warming and greenhouse effect. The temperature regulation and energy circulation of both residential and industrial infrastructures are assessed so that they can achieve the standards of ISO 9001.
