Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MEM23141 - Complete a building thermal performance survey

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Estimate heat load for a multiple zone commercial or industrial building

  1. Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for the work area
  2. Determine extent of the performance survey from work sheets, drawings, building specifications or other documentation and discussions with appropriate personnel
  3. Determine sources of heat gains
  4. Coordinate work effectively with all team members
  5. Obtain and check resources and equipment required for the performance survey

Investigate building design improvement options

  1. Analyse alternative building design improvement options with respect to the effect on thermal performance using simulation software
  2. Identify unacceptably high thermal loads on the building using check figures and industry standards
  3. Prepare recommendations for changes in building design and/or treatment to eliminate unacceptably high thermal loads
  4. Document and recommend improvements of thermal performance of the building to appropriate personnel
  5. Consult as required on unexpected situations and take appropriate action
  6. 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
  7. Document the completed survey in accordance with organisational procedures, including all recommendations, building design improvements and/or treatments, and appropriate system design specifications
  8. Prepare a formal survey report in consultation with appropriate personnel and in accordance with organisational procedures
