List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements | Performance Criteria |
Elements describe the essential outcomes | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare to integrate sustainability into planning and design stages of ICT project | 1.1 Evaluate suitable ICT projects into which sustainability can be integrated 1.2 Negotiate with stakeholders to establish extent to which sustainability is to be integrated 1.3 Research and identify suitable technology solutions applicable to project 1.4 Gather power consumption data on ICT equipment required for energy audit based on agreed standard |
2. Devise strategies for incorporating sustainability into ICT project | 2.1 Determine and oversee implementation of short term technology solutions to achieve reduction of power consumption 2.2 Initiate and progress sustainable management principles that result in reduced environmental impact 2.3 Establish, regularly review and improve key performance indicators (KPI) on sustainability performance 2.4 Incorporate innovative planning and design rules for ICT projects that foster sustainability and environmental best practice |
3. Analyse energy audit data | 3.1 Identify energy usage within scope of ICT project and provide detailed report 3.2 Estimate potential energy savings and payback periods for recommended actions 3.3 Estimate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for nominated project 3.4 Evaluate estimated CO2 emissions with comparable benchmarks 3.5 Make recommendations in order of priority and give estimates of implementation costs on integration of sustainability for other ICT projects |
Evidence of the ability to:
plan and integrate sustainability into information and communications technology (ICT) projects by devising strategies to conserve resources
analyse energy audit data on enterprise resource consumption
develop and monitor policies for review and improvements, benchmarking against industry best practice and attempting new approaches continuously over time.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.
To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:
discuss best practice approaches relevant to own work area
explain environmental or sustainability legislation, regulations and codes of practice applicable to the industry and organisation
discuss and explain work health and safety (WHS) implications for new policy
explain how to estimate CO2 emissions
summarise ICT power consumption calculations
discuss policy development processes and practices
summarise power consumption audit methodology
identify principles, practices and available tools and techniques of sustainability management relevant to the telecommunications industry
describe quality assurance systems relevant to own organisation
summarise systems and procedures to aid in the achievement of workplace sustainability.
Gather evidence to demonstrate consistent performance in conditions that are safe and replicate the workplace. Noise levels, production flow, interruptions and time variances must be typical of those experienced in the telecommunications – sustainability field of work and include access to:
sites on which planning, design and integration of sustainability may be carried out
relevant legislation, standards, guidelines, reports and equipment specifications and drawings
a range of workplace documentation, personnel, information and resources including:
compliance obligations
organisational plans.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
