FEM 4.0 introduced the expectation that facilities are equipped to be able to report on energy and water source consumption, separately by facility type, for increased precision and accuracy in tracking, reporting, and identifying opportunities for improvement.
The assessment is designed to encourage facilities to put things in place as soon as possible to split out their reporting and tracking accordingly.
The question "refID = energyseparate" asks if a facility can separately report by facility type and appears only if BOTH facility types below are selected. Responding yes to this question introduces tables that allow relevant data entry across facility types, while responding no brings a single table, where consolidated totals for each source type would be entered.
- Finished Product Assembler
- Finished Product Processing (Product Printing, Product Painting, Product Dyeing, Product Laundering and Product Finishing, Embroidery & Embellishments)
This question ("refID = energyseparate") does not appear on the assessment if any other combination of facility types is selected, and in such case a table appears for each facility type. If a facility is unable to report energy/water source values across facility types, they should enter their consolidated values to the first table, but also are encouraged to work towards splitting out their source consumption tracking as soon as possible for more accurate data entry in future years' FEMs.
