Description
This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to research and develop engineered wood products to meet the requirements of energy efficient design for residential buildings. It requires high-level understanding of residential building design, building codes and engineered timber design and practice. The unit applies to individuals who work as designers (manufacturing and engineered wood products) and senior managers in a timber and wood products production environment. They generally demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts and within broad but established parameters.No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
