@JieXiong9119, Since the FEMP document is still a draft, it may be too early to add this new XML element to the schema.

For example, if the FEMP document changes, since the proposal is to introduce a 2-level hierarchical structure, moving a level-2 child to a different level-1 parent would be a breaking change.

JieXiong9119 commented 1 year ago

Another way to modify on this is to create two layers of elements:

@JieXiong9119, I'm not convinced that adding a hierarchy is going to add value. Having a "plain" enumeration would be easier to maintain.

JieXiong9119 commented 1 year ago

That's reasonable. We can hold it off a bit. Do you have any idea when the FEMP resource would be finalized?

@JieXiong9119,

Do you have any idea when the FEMP resource would be finalized?

I don't, sorry. We'd need to ask a FEMP representative. I know that an updated version of the "decision tree" document was recently published (https://www.energy.gov/femp/articles/femp-facility-evaluation-audit-decision-tree), but I don't know if it is the final version that we should be targeting.

@ThibaultMarzullo, Adding "Retro-Commissioning Audit" (non-BEDES spelling) was requested by CERL.

In Audit Template, the enumerations were sourced from https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2020/12/f81/facility-evaluation-definitions.pdf which appears to be an earlier (out-of-date?) draft of the FEMP guidance.

Thank you! I'll approve then.

Are there any major changes you have noticed? Is there anything that will cause inconsistencies if we use the most recent version?

@ThibaultMarzullo, Comparing https://www.energy.gov/sites/default/files/2020/12/f81/facility-evaluation-definitions.pdf and https://www.energy.gov/femp/articles/femp-facility-evaluation-audit-definitions, I don't see any new/modified audit definitions. That said, it is possible that the second link is also outdated. We should ask a FEMP representative for the most recent version.

@markborkum, after circling around FEMP and PNNL teams, the document is confirmed to be the latest version. We will proceed to merge this down if you see no other issues.
