Energy Efficiency Skill Sets and Resources

Manufacturing Skills Australia (MSA) has developed Energy Efficiency Skill Sets and supporting resources.

Six Energy Efficiency Skill Sets are now available in the MSS11 Sustainability Training Package. The Skill Sets cover the skills needed to identify and measure energy consumption and plan energy improvements at AQF4, AQF5 and AQF8.

The Skill Sets are made up of selected units of competency from the Sustainable Operations and Competitive Systems and Practices qualifications.

The Energy Efficiency Skill Sets are:

• MSS11 SS1 Audit energy usage for a work area
• MSS11 SS2 Determine energy usage
• MSS11 SS3 Improve energy usage for a process or organisation
• MSS11 SS4 Improve energy usage for a work area
• MSS11 SS5 Recommend energy improvements
• MSS11 SS6 Reduce sustainability risk

Intended Audience and Usage

The project will also develop resources for each Skill Set. The resources will help training providers to deliver energy efficiency training and assessment using the Skill Sets. The resources include:

• video case studies how businesses have improved their energy efficiency
• guidance on developing online knowledge assessments for the Skill Sets
• a series of webinars outlining some of the key concepts in the Skill Sets
• a webinar session for RTOs with guidance on selecting and delivering the Skill Sets.

The Skill Sets are now available in the MSS11 Sustainability Training Package see training.gov.au

The final resources will be published in June 2013.
