Develop effective engineering strategies for energy reduction in buildings

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 UEERE0012, 'Develop effective engineering strategies for energy reduction in buildings'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Develop effective engineering strategies for energy reduction in buildings' 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

ELEMENTS

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1

Identify engineering energy strategies for a building

1.1

Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied

1.2

Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work

1.3

Scope of engineering evaluation is determined from specifications of building, services, plant and machinery and in consultation with relevant person/s

1.4

Advice is sought from work supervisor to ensure work is coordinated effectively with relevant person/s

1.5

Tools, testing devices and materials needed to carry out work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety

2

Develop engineering strategies for energy reduction in a building

2.1

WHS/OHS risk control measures and workplace procedures for carrying out the work are followed

2.2

Inspection, tests and measurements are carried out in accordance with WHS/OHS requirements and workplace procedures

2.3

Energy use of building, services, plant and machinery is obtained and applied to the engineering evaluation process

2.4

Energy evaluation tests are set up in accordance with inspection and test methods and workplace procedures

2.5

Engineering strategies to reduce energy use without compromising occupancy standards are developed in accordance with energy management techniques and evaluation test results

2.6

Unexpected situations are dealt with safely and effectively in accordance with the approval of relevant person/s

2.7

Engineering evaluation is carried out without damage to systems, circuits, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy practices

3

Document and report engineering strategies for energy reduction in building

3.1

WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed

3.2

Worksite is cleaned and made safe in accordance with workplace procedures

3.3

Results of energy use evaluation and recommended engineering strategies and their criterion for energy reduction are documented in accordance with workplace procedures

3.4

Engineering energy reduction report is completed and forwarded to relevant person/s
