Description
1) 1.1) DescriptorThis unit covers evaluating energy used in buildings and developing and documenting strategies/methods to effectively reduce energy use without compromising occupancy standards. It encompasses working safely, setting up and conducting evaluation measurements and evaluating energy use from measured parameters.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to develop strategies for effective energy reduction in buildings.
  • 1.1 OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood
  • 1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work
  • 1.3 The extent of evaluation is determined from specifications of building(s) and services, plant and machinery and discussed with appropriate personnel
  • 1.4 Advice is sought from the work supervisor to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.5 Tools, testing devices, and materials needed to carry out the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Develop strategies for effective energy reduction in buildings.
  • 2.1 OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed
  • 2.2 Tests and measurements are carried out in strict accordance with OHS requirements safety procedures
  • 2.3 In-depth knowledge of the energy use of building services, plant and machinery is applied to the evaluation process
  • 2.4 Energy evaluation tests are set up in accordance with established test methods and procedures for each particular parameter under scrutiny
  • 2.5 Strategies to reduce energy use with compromising occupancy standards are developed from knowledge of energy management and evaluation test results.
  • 2.6 Unexpected situations are dealt with safely and with the approval of an authorised person
  • 2.7 Evaluation is carried out without damage to systems, circuits, the surrounding environment or services and using sustainable energy practices
3 Document and report strategies for effective energy reduction in buildings
  • 3.1 OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed
  • 3.2 Work site is cleaned and made safe in accordance with established procedures
  • 3.3 Results of energy use evaluation and recommended strategies and their criterion for energy reduction are documented in accordance with established procedures
  • 3.4 Energy reduction report is forwarded to appropriate persons
