This unit specifies the skills and knowledge required to analyse information to assess the thermal potential of the building envelope of planned residential buildings, and the thermal performance of existing residential buildings, including alterations and additions. Assessments involve a variety of building designs and materials across all jurisdictions using the regulatory mode of software accredited under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).

This unit is for individuals who work independently using specialised knowledge and skills to complete thermal performance assessments. It involves completing routine and non-routine tasks and dealing with predictable and sometimes unpredictable problems.

This unit forms part of the licensing requirements for thermal performance assessments. For further information, check with the relevant regulatory authority.
