Application

This unit of competency specifies the skills and knowledge required to monitor energy conservation and manage practices and processes within the building and construction industry. It includes applying energy practices and methodologies, statistical analysis, current trends and factors in energy conservation, and legislative and regulatory requirements.

This unit of competency applies to builders, senior managers within building and construction firms and other industry professionals responsible for determining and recording the effectiveness and efficiency of energy conservation to meet organisational targets.

Completion of the general construction induction training program specified by the model Code of Practice for Construction Work is required for any person who is to carry out construction work. Achievement of CPCCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry meets this requirement.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Supersedes and is equivalent to CPCCBC5012A Manage the application and monitoring of energy conservation and management practices and processes. Updated to meet the Standards for Training Packages 2012.

Performance Evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by developing, implementing and monitoring effective energy conservation and management action plans and strategies for one building and construction project.

In doing this, the candidate must:

  • research current trends in energy conservation and management
  • monitor and record effectiveness, efficiency and compliance of the organisation’s standards and identify areas for improvement
  • conform to relevant environmental and sustainability legislation, regulations and requirements.

Knowledge Evidence

To be competent in this unit, a candidate must demonstrate knowledge of:

  • environmental and sustainability requirements
  • development, application and monitoring of energy conservation plans:
  • gathering and evaluating formal or informal information and data
  • researching current energy conservation trends and factors
  • energy management practices and methodologies
  • conformance, milestones and performance targets
  • energy data-gathering systems:
  • reports from suppliers
  • scheduled management meetings and briefings
  • statistical and analytical data supporting energy objectives
  • feedback from authorities
  • spot checks on aspects of energy management process
  • benchmarking and best practice:
  • comparison of current, previously established and external energy conservation and management plans
  • costs associated with optimum environmental conformance
  • performance indicators against energy management objectives
  • performance measuring against industry, local authority, regulatory or international standards
  • energy targets, electrical power usage, fuel usage, heat loss and thermal efficiency
  • statistics of measurements from start, ongoing and at conclusion
  • organisational policies and practices supporting energy conservation and management.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must meet the requirements for assessors contained in the Standards for Registered Training Organisations.

Assessment can be undertaken in the workplace or in a simulated workplace environment.
