Description
This unit of competency describes the outcomes required to research and develop engineered timber products to meet the requirements of energy efficient design for residential buildings. It requires high level knowledge of residential building design, building codes and engineered timber design and practice. The unit applies to job roles including Designer (Manufacturing and Engineered Wood Products) and other senior managers in a timber and wood products production setting.No licensing, legislative, regulatory, or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
