Elements of Competency Performance Criteria              
Element: Identify all sources and uses of energy in process
  • Identify all sources of energy external to the site
  • Identify all sources of energy within the site
  • Consult with technical, operational and other relevant stakeholders to identify all uses of energy, energy type and intensity required by plant and/or equipment within process
       
Element: Calculate theoretical use of energy
  • Calculate theoretical net use of energy by type and intensity for plant and/or equipment
  • Calculate overall energy balance for process
  • Evaluate the need for energy consumption by process compared to alternative processes, plant and/or equipment
       
Element: Measure actual use of energy
  • Determine actual net energy use for overall process
  • Determine actual net energy use for plant and/or equipment within process
  • Calculate difference between theoretical and actual energy use by plant and/or equipment and overall process
  • Identify actual energy type used by plant and/or equipment
       
Element: Develop strategies to improve energy usage
  • Rank plant and/or equipment by difference between theoretical and actual energy use
  • Rank plant and/or equipment by actual energy use
  • Identify plant and/or equipment using higher intensity energy than required
  • Develop strategies to reduce energy consumption and/or use lower intensity energy
       
Element: Prepare recommendation/s for improved energy usage
  • Consult with stakeholders to confirm or amend strategies
  • Identify any regulatory or other requirements that impact energy usage and amend strategies as needed to address requirements
  • Rank strategies by benefit/cost ratio
  • Short-list preferred energy reduction strategies
  • Prepare recommendation/s according to procedures and requirements for approval
       

Submission Requirements

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assignment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)


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.
