This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to research and develop engineered wood products to meet the requirements of energy efficient design for residential buildings. It requires high-level understanding of residential building design, building codes and engineered timber design and practice.

The unit applies to individuals who work as designers (manufacturing and engineered wood products) and senior managers in a timber and wood products production environment. They generally demonstrate autonomy, judgement and defined responsibility in known or changing contexts and within broad but established parameters.

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

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

List each assessment task's title, type (eg project, observation/demonstration, essay, assingnment, checklist) and due date here

(add new lines for each of the 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.
