Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to develop provisioning of building services. It involves gathering information on the role of power and building services, equipment and infrastructure deployments, building standards, building services capacity and building works programs to evaluate allowable types of building services.Building services may be power systems, air conditioning, fire safety services, energy use and alarm systems within each technology.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement but users should confirm requirements with the relevant federal, state or territory authority.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Scope the project
- 1.1. Prepare for given work according to relevant legislation, codes, regulations and standards, including occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and procedures
- 1.2. Determine the main role power and building services perform in a network facility and note their effect on the reliability and performance of the network performance
- 1.3. Assess the provisioning process required to identify, plan and implement power and building services for equipment deployment plans
2. Assess equipment and infrastructure deployments
- 2.1. Evaluate the available capacity from power and cooling plant to support the effect on floor loading, power and heat load from equipment deployments
- 2.2. Determine the different levels of reliability performance standards applicable to the specific equipment deployment needs
- 2.3. Develop a process to plan or implement a power and building services upgrade that is compatible to the network equipment requirements
- 2.4. Assess the options available to manage capacity growth in a facility and the effect of potential single points of failure in an end-to-end power and building services system
3. Develop building works programs
- 3.1. Develop short and long term works programs for building projects that include minor upgrades to large installations
- 3.2. Determine triggers that may require a power and building services capacity or reliability upgrade
- 3.3. Prioritise projects based on customer demand and business needs
4. Assess provisioning of building services
- 4.1. Assess the possible effect on the current and future use of a building or space when provisioning power and building services
- 4.2. Produce cost estimates including constraints for the provisioning of a power and building services upgrade

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Evidence of the ability to:
assess the capacity and suitability of available power and building services for telecommunications building works
develop a process to implement a power and building services upgrade
develop short and long term works projects for equipment and infrastructure deployments
produce cost estimates for provisioning.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
Assessment must ensure:
building facilities where a telecommunications network project may be conducted
relevant regulatory, organisational procedures and documentation, and equipment documentation that impact on work.
Method of assessment
A range of assessment methods should be used to assess practical skills and knowledge. The following examples are appropriate for this unit:
direct observation of the candidate developing short and long term works programs for building projects
review of cost estimates prepared by the candidate
review of report prepared by the candidate outlining constraints of provisioning power and building services upgrade
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of power and building services and equipment and infrastructure deployments.
Guidance information for assessment
Holistic assessment with other units relevant to the industry sector, workplace and job role is recommended, for example:
ICTNPL4110A Evaluate the planning requirements for provisioning a telecommunications building facility.
Aboriginal people and other people from a non-English speaking background may have second language issues.
Access must be provided to appropriate learning and assessment support when required.
Assessment processes and techniques must be culturally appropriate, and appropriate to the oral communication skill level, and language and literacy capacity of the candidate and the work being performed.
In all cases where practical assessment is used it will be combined with targeted questioning to assess required knowledge. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency.
Where applicable, physical resources should include equipment modified for people with special needs.
