Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to develop energy management solutions and includes performing a complete energy audit of a large commercial or industrial building and making recommendations on reducing energy usage.It applies to heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) technicians, who are required to investigate, advise and report on energy management solutions. As part of this work the technician can be required to conduct complete energy audits and model and validate solutions to improve energy use.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
