Glossary

System Model The Enviance System is customized for each (Your “Name” Here) customer to meet their specific needs.

The System Model, as viewed via the software interface, reflects this customization. The System Model is the highest level of organization in the Enviance System and it represents the corporation or line of business.

3

Glossary

Tree Structure The Tree Structure is the cascading file structure (or hierarchy) within the Enviance System Model. It visually depicts the organization of the System Model; and, it also serves as a navigational device between the various levels of nested data.

4

Glossary

System Model Frame The left pane of the Enviance interface is the SystemModel Frame. It houses the System Model Tree Structure. From this frame you can navigate to one of four sections: Requirements, Citations, Documents, and Reports, or navigate through the System Tree.

5

Glossary

Navigation Frame The frame across the top of the Enviance interface is the navigation frame. It contains the main menuitems plus links to the User Profile, Online Help and Logout links. The rights that a user is assigned determines the functions they can access here.

6

Glossary

Profile / User Guide Your System Administrator creates your profile when. they add you as a new user, but select Profile here

to update your profile and change your password. TheUser Guide is a robust and simple-to-use reference guide to help you use the System. You must log out toensure security and end your session.

Glossary

Content Frame The right pane of the Enviance interface. This is the area where most of your interactions take place such as viewing tasks and entering, updating or viewing data.

Glossary

Objects Every item defined under Requirements in your System Model is considered an object. (i.e., Facilities, Units, POIs, and Requirements.)

Object Path The path indicating where an object is located in the System Model.i.e., < Facility / Unit / POI / Requirement / object >i.e., < Atlanta / Building / Boiler 1 / Requirement / object >

9

Glossary

Facilities Level 1: Facilities are the first-level objects in the system model hierarchy. A Facility is a parent* to all other system model objects.

A Facility may represent an actual physical facility (i.e., plant, equipment), a regulatory program (i.e., air quality requirements or Title V permits), or a project.

Remember that a Facility DOES NOT have to refer to a physical building or plant; a Facility is simply the first level of organization within your System Model.

*Parent The level above an object in the System Model. A Facility is a parent to all objects in a system model.

10

Glossary

Units Level 2: Units are divisions - or children* - of a Facility. They may represent parts of a plant or regulatory program areas.

Much like a Facility is the first level of organization within your System Mode, a Unit is your second.

A Unit is basically a folder under which you can logically group objects you need to track.

*Children The levels below an Object in the System Model. A Unit object is a child of a Facility object.

11

Glossary

Points of Interest Level 3: The third layer of organization within your System Model is a Point of Interest (POI) It is a child within a Unit or a Facility.

A POI is basically a folder under which you can logically group objects you need to track.

12

Glossary

requirements Level 4: Compliance objects set up in the system to allow monitoring and tracking of compliance obligations.

They may pertain to an entire Facility, to a specific Unit, or to a Point of Interest.

The system allows three broad categories of compliance requirements:

1) Non-numeric requirements

2) Calculated requirements

3) Parameter (numeric) requirements

13

Glossary

Parameters Parameters are numeric requirements set up to record data. The data can be directly entered or electronically imported into the database.

The parameter - also called a variable - may be:

a pollutant (e.g., total suspended solids, ammonia),

an operational measurement (e.g., flow, temperature), or,

any other numeric requirement for which data must be directly entered (as opposed to being calculated by the system).

14

Glossary

System Variable A System Variable is a type of numeric requirement used to define a parameter, set a constant value, and use its value in one or multiple calculations.

System Variables are typically used to store emission factors, properties of equipment, properties of materials, and localized data that is constant throughout the location.

System Variables seldom need to be edited, but when the value changes, the value is applied throughout the System based upon the “begin” and “end” dates.

System Variables are often set up for reference purposes.

15

Glossary

Calculated Calculated Requirements can be defined using arithmetic, algebraic, and statistical functions. Calculations can be set for rolling periods or fixed periods.

Calculations are defined through an expression builder similar to the calculator on a standard personal computer.

Numeric parameters, variables and previously defined calculated parameters are available to include in the calculation definition.

16

Glossary

Event Log Event Logs are used to monitor one or more notebook requirements for periods of time in which they are potentially out of compliance or when further documentation is needed for reporting purposes.

The primary use of Event Logs is to store information about deviations. A secondary use is to store non-deviation information about one or more requirements for specific periods, such as records of safety incidents.

There are two types of Event Logs:1) Automatic2) Manual

17

Glossary

Event Instance An Event Instance captures or records detailed information about a non-compliance issue. However, an Event Instance can also be used as a check list or form that is completed on a recurring basis.

There are two types of Event Instances:

Automatic: An automatic event instance is created by the Enviance system when a limit has been exceeded or data is non-compliant.

Manual: A manual event instance is created when the user enters information directly into the event log.

18

Glossary

Task A Task is simply a compliance activity; it is the lowest object in your System Model.

A Task answers the questions Who, What, Where, andHow Often,

and the underlying requirement provides the answerWhy.

19

Glossary

Notification A communication associated with a task that notifies the assignee(s), assignor, or any other interested parties when the status of the task changes.

Task Notifications may be edited at any time to add or delete notifications or change the criteria or recipient of a notification.

System Model Hierarchy Overview

or #

Facility - The main, top-level object type is called Facility. This object type may represent actual physical facilities, such as a chemical plant or refinery. However, it may also represent a regulatory program, such as OSHA, or a project.

Facilities may be further divided into Units and Points of Interest (POIs). These objects may represent parts of a plant or a regulatory program area.

Unit

Point of Interest (POI)

Company - The highest level of an object type that represents the Corporation or Line of Business

Requirements Requirements are the compliance objects that relate to these object types. They may pertain to a whole facility (such as an operating permit for a plant) or to a specific Unit or POI (such as emission levels for a boiler). Requirements are of two types: 1) non-numeric & 2) numeric

The system model hierarchy allows a company or business unit using a graphical presentation to establish a unique database to manage, track and store its specific compliance information.

Event objects store data related to incidents or periods of time when a requirement is not determined to be in compliance.
