Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design energy management controls for electrical installations in new buildings/structures.It includes designing and developing energy management control methods to reduce energy use in new buildings/structures, and documenting strategies to effectively reduce energy use in the completed installation.This unit is appropriate for Licenced Electricians or Electrical Engineers with responsibility for designing energy management controls for electrical installations in buildings.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify energy management techniques for electrical installations in buildings
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures are identified and applied
  • 1.2 Scope of the energy management electrical design is determined from specifications of building and its services, plant and machinery and in consultation with relevant person/s
  • 1.3 People or organisations involved in the design and installation are identified and roles clarified
  • 1.4 Industry regulations, legal obligations and job requirements are identified and applied to work in accordance with workplace procedures
2 Design energy management controls for electrical installations
