Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Estimate heat load for a multiple zone commercial or industrial building
  • Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for the work area
  • Determine extent of the performance survey from work sheets, drawings, building specifications or other documentation and discussions with appropriate personnel
  • Determine sources of heat gains
  • Coordinate work effectively with all team members
  • Obtain and check resources and equipment required for the performance survey
       
Element: Analyse the air conditioning heat and cooling load
  • Complete room sensible and latent heat estimates of a multiple zone building
  • Identify peak effective room latent and sensible and latent heat loads over time of day and year for each zone
  • Determine the thermal performance of the building using simulation software
       
Element: Investigate building design improvement options
  • Analyse alternative building design improvement options with respect to the effect on thermal performance using simulation software
  • Identify unacceptably high thermal loads on the building using check figures and industry standards
  • Prepare recommendations for changes in building design and/or treatment to eliminate unacceptably high thermal loads
  • Document and recommend improvements of thermal performance of the building to appropriate personnel
  • Consult as required on unexpected situations and take appropriate action
  • Determine equipment size, including coil and air handling unit capacities for constant and variable volume systems, and central refrigeration and boiler capacities based on the recommendations
  • Document the completed survey in accordance with organisational procedures, including all recommendations, building design improvements and/or treatments, and appropriate system design specifications
  • Prepare a formal survey report in consultation with appropriate personnel and in accordance with organisational procedures

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
