Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver MEM23141A, 'Complete a building thermal performance survey'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Complete a building thermal performance survey' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 | Estimate heat load for a multiple zone commercial/industrial building | 1.1 | Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for a given work area |
1.2 | Determine extent of the performance survey from work sheets, drawings, building specifications or other documentation and discussions with appropriate personnel | ||
1.3 | Determine sources of heat gains | ||
1.4 | Coordinate work effectively with all team members | ||
1.5 | Obtain and check resources and equipment required for the performance survey |
2 | Analyse the air conditioning heat and cooling load | 2.1 | Complete room sensible and latent heat estimates of a multiple zone building |
2.2 | Identify peak effective room latent, and sensible and latent heat loads over time of day and year for each zone | ||
2.3 | Determine the thermal performance of the building using simulation software |
3 | Investigate building design improvement options | 3.1 | Analyse alternative building design improvement options with respect to the effect on thermal performance using simulation software |
3.2 | Identify unacceptable high thermal loads on the building using check figures and industry standards | ||
3.3 | Prepare recommendations for changes in building design/treatment to eliminate unacceptably high thermal loads | ||
3.4 | Document and recommend improvements of thermal performance of the building to appropriate personnel | ||
3.5 | Consult as required on unexpected situations and take appropriate action |
4 | Specify system design | 4.1 | 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 |
4.2 | Document the completed survey with all recommendations, building design improvements/treatments, and appropriate system design specifications according to enterprise procedures | ||
4.3 | Prepare a formal survey report in consultation with appropriate personnel and enterprise procedures |
