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, involving complex construction methods and materials. Assessments are conducted using the regulatory mode of software accredited under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) and require client consultation to devise solutions to achieve required energy ratings.

This unit is suitable for those using a broad range of cognitive, technical and communication skills to select and apply methods and technologies to analyse information and provide solutions to sometimes complex problems.
