Unit of Competency MSS405086 - Develop sustainable energy practices
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit describes the skills and knowledge required by an individual to identify opportunities for, and make improvements in, sustainable energy practices in an organisation. This includes efficient use of raw materials, management of waste, electricity conservation, heat conservation and management, water management, environment protection and environment obligations of organisations.The unit involves analysis of energy used in processes and operations and categorising the energy use according to lean principles. The unit covers categorising energy into necessary use and muda (waste) with the muda being further categorised into necessary muda and unnecessary muda. Strategies for eliminating or minimising energy muda are covered with cost benefit analyses being required for strategies.This unit applies to a manager, technical specialist or similar who is required to use problem solving, initiative, planning and organising skills to develop plans for efficient energy use. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(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.
