Assessment Requirements for UEERE0052 Assess energy loads and uses for energy efficiency in commercial facilities

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 UEERE0003 Assess energy loads and uses for energy efficiency in commercial facilities. Modifications include: Update to application Prerequisite changed Element titles amended Performance criteria removed and added Range of conditions updated Updates to performance and knowledge evidence requirements and CVIG content developed.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two occasions and include:
applying relevant organisational procedures and practices, work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including using risk control measures performing energy use assessments and identifying efficiency improvements for commercial facilities in accordance with the range of conditions documenting and presenting final recommendations.

Knowledge Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of. Additional advice and definitions for some items is provided in the UEE Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide (CVIG).

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
