Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package. This unit replaces and is not equivalent to UEERE0010 Design energy management controls for electrical installations in buildings. Modifications include:
|
Application
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design energy management controls for electrical installations in new buildings/structures. It includes designing and developing energy management control methods to reduce energy use in new buildings/structures, and documenting strategies to effectively reduce energy use in the completed installation. This unit is appropriate for Licenced Electricians or Electrical Engineers with responsibility for designing energy management controls for electrical installations in buildings. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. |
