Chapter hvac engineering Fundamentals: Part 1 Introduction

15.2
Organization of a Report
Figure 15.1 shows a typical report outline. There may be additional
topics, but these are the essential items in any report.
Section 1 is sometimes called an
executive summary
because it is
written for the executive who is not concerned with details but needs
a synopsis.
The
authorization
describes the purchase order, letter, or other legal
basis which led to the production of the report.
The
scope
is usually a part of the authorization and describes the
objective and problems to be addressed. It is really a specification, and
often provides the basis by which the report is judged for completeness
and payment is authorized. Definition of the scope is the first step in
the problem-solving process, and the value of the final report will re-
late strongly to the clarity of this definition.
