District Energy & Thermal Network Equipment worked example

Thermal Network Supplier Risk Score with supplier impact severity score of 15 score: a worked example

This scenario runs the thermal network supplier risk score calculation on the strong side: supplier impact severity score of 15 score, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when thermal network supplier risk in district energy and thermal network equipment needs a defensible ranking against other district energy and thermal network equipment risks for the next review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Supplier impact severity score: 15 score (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 6)
  • Supplier issue occurrence score: 4 score (unchanged)
  • Supplier detection control score: 3 score (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Thermal network supplier risk score = supplier impact severity score × supplier issue occurrence score × supplier detection control score) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 8.15 score for thermal network supplier risk score, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 15 score for supplier impact severity score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 4 score for supplier issue occurrence score.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 3 score for supplier detection control score.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where supplier impact severity score sits at 6 score and the headline result is 4.55 score, this scenario comes in 79.12% above the baseline at 8.15 score.
  • Use it during supplier qualification, annual vendor reviews, or when deciding which thermal network components need a second source or tighter incoming inspection. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.
