It covers getting started with an audit report, audit data entry, and available support resources to streamline the audit data reporting process.  \nWhat is Audit Template?  \nAudit Template is a web-based tool that may be used to collect, store and report building energy and water audit data. The tool provides custom reporting templates for programs or jurisdictions utilizing Audit Template for collecting audit data.  \nA user can select the template based on the program that they are reporting data for and after entering building audit data into the tool, users may generate an audit report which lists all the data entered along with calculated tables and charts and submit the building report to the program or jurisdiction. The audit data is available to download in PDF, Microsoft Excel, CSV, and BuildingSync XML* file formats by the user.  \nNote:  \nThe data entry input fields available in the Audit Template and the audit data report follow the ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 211-2018 (RA 2023), Standard for Commercial Building Energy Audits. Additional data fields required by specific programs or jurisdictions are included where applicable. The icons below identify input categories on the data entry screens in the tool:  \n ASHRAE Level 1 or 2 audit inputs  Program or jurisdiction specific inputs.  \nFields required for program or jurisdiction reporting.  \nUsers may gather data pertaining to an ANSI/ASHRAE/ACCA Standard 211 (RA 2023), Standard for Commercial Building Energy Audit separately prior to using the tool or may enter data directly into the tool.  \n* The XML files follow the format of BuildingSync® XML developed by National Renewable Energy Laboratory. BuildingSync® is a standardized language for commercial building energy audit data that software developers may use to exchange data between audit tools. For information on BuildingSync, visit [https://buildingsync.net](https://buildingsync.net).  \nGetting Started  \n1. Initial Setup: Registering to Use the Tool  \nTo get started, users must first create an account on the Audit Template website.  \n• To create an account, visit [https://buildingenergyscore.energy.gov](https://buildingenergyscore.energy.gov).  \n• Click the \"Register\" button (Figure 1 ) and fill in the required information, including your email address, which will be used for verification purposes.  \n• A confirmation email will be sent to your inbox.
