Unit of Competency BSBSMB410 - Review and implement energy efficiency in business operations
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to undertake a structured review and analysis of data relating to energy use, and to plan for and implement energy efficiency in a small business or work area within a larger organisation.It applies to individuals who use analytical and problem-solving skills and take responsibility for adopting and promoting approaches to improve energy efficiency. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in the Management and Leadership – Small and Micro Business field of work and include access to:

business equipment and resources

relevant legislation, regulations, standards and codes

relevant workplace documentation and resources

case studies or where possible, real situations.

Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational education and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Determine ways to measure energy use
  • Determine and rank in order of importance key drivers for improving energy efficiency in the business
  • Identify types of energy used in the business and what energy is used for
  • Decide what will be measured, and how
  • Source and use tools such as checklists and spreadsheets to collate energy use measurements
  • Source and seek advice of specialists if required, to assist with measuring and analysing energy use
       
Element: Measure and analyse energy use
  • Measure and record use of different types of energy used in the business
  • Estimate use of energy where direct measurement is not possible
  • Analyse energy use for trends, and compare with industry standards where appropriate
  • Interpret data and advice provided by specialist advisors if used
       
Element: Determine ways to improve energy efficiency
  • Propose methods to improve energy efficiency based on analysis of energy use and related information
  • Undertake a cost-benefit analysis of proposed methods to determine the business case for making changes
       
Element: Develop an energy efficiency plan
  • Identify energy efficiency improvements that can be implemented immediately, and those which require further consideration or are longer-term goals
  • Prioritise energy efficiency improvements considering business opportunities and risks relating to managing energy use
  • Develop a plan to show what will be done, and how and when, and document it following organisational requirements
