Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to develop effective engineering strategies for energy reduction in buildings.It includes developing and documenting engineering strategies/methods to effectively reduce energy use in buildings. It also includes documenting and reporting engineering strategies for energy reduction in buildings.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify engineering energy strategies for a building
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2 Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
  • 1.3 Scope of engineering evaluation is determined from specifications of building, services, plant and machinery and in consultation with relevant person/s
  • 1.4 Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with relevant person/s
  • 1.5 Tools, testing devices and materials needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Develop engineering strategies for energy reduction in a building
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out the work are followed
  • 2.2 Inspection, tests and measurements are carried out in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures
  • 2.3 Energy use of building, services, plant and machinery is obtained and applied to the engineering evaluation process
  • 2.4 Energy evaluation tests are set up in accordance with inspection and test methods and workplace procedures
  • 2.5 Engineering strategies to reduce energy use without compromising occupancy standards are developed in accordance with energy management techniques and evaluation test results
  • 2.6 Unexpected situations are dealt with safely and effectively in accordance with the approval of relevant person/s
  • 2.7 Engineering evaluation is carried out without damage to systems, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices
3 Document and report engineering strategies for energy reduction in building
  • 3.1 WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 3.2 Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.3 Results of energy use evaluation and recommended engineering strategies and their criterion for energy reduction are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Engineering energy reduction report is completed and forwarded to relevant person/s
