5. Industrial Inspection Guidelines

(a) Inspection Report​

(1) MUD will create and maintain a inspection report, in which inspectors will use to perform inspections. It must include the property ID, the owner of the property, held industrial crime for the property if any, and the total grid score of all power grids within the property.​

(i) The report will include a score for the property. There will be a total score which sums all of the categories together. Receiving a zero in any category is an automatic failure. The report should also give a reason for why a score is given to any given category. Scores range from 0-10, zero being the worst possible score. Having a total score of 30 or less will result in a failed inspection.​

(ii) Score Categories​

(a) Power Source Score, this evaluates how clean the power source(s) of the property is. If a property has no dirty power generation, then the property receives an automatic ten.​

(b) Efficiency Score, this evaluates how efficient the property is with its power. This score should look closely at idle load, active load, and the devices contributing to this load. If the total grid score is 20 or less, an automatic score of ten is given.​

(c) Idle Pollution Score. The owner is given up to 5 minutes to idle the property. After which the inspector looks at a production monitor to measure the pollution generated per minute, to determine this score.​

Score = (GridScore × 40) ÷ PollutionPerMinute​

(c) Active Pollution Score. The owner is given up to 5 minutes to allow the factory to run for its intended purpose. After which the inspector looks at a production monitor to measure the pollution generated per minute, to determine this score.​

Score = (GridScore × 400) ÷ PollutionPerMinute​

(iii) Every score should include a recommendation of how to improve the score if it is less then 10.​

​
