Outcomes and evidence requirements Outcome 1 Describe the given concepts used in advanced illumination technology engineering. Range concepts – colour identification using CIE chromaticity triangle and Munsell colour atlas; nature of intensity distribution, photometry (integrating spheres, photometric benches) measurements and equipment; anatomy and function of the eye and relevance to illumination engineering; operation of lighting design programmes, photometric data selection and interpretation of computer generated reports; awareness of British /NAIES Zonal method; lighting in hazardous, wet and dusty environments; construction and use of luminaries, reflectors, refractors and diffusers; lighting efficiency. Evidence requirements 1.1 A structured interpretation of the concepts of advanced illumination technology engineering is described in accordance with industry practice. Range interpretation includes – purpose, scope, characteristics; and any one of – significance, validity, limitations of concepts. 1.2 Linkages or analogies to related illumination engineering concepts or technologies are described in accordance with industry practice. 1.3 The characteristics and functions of associated scientific rules, or logic, or formulae, and their limitations relating to advanced illumination technology engineering are identified. 1.4 Supporting examples provide valid illustrations of the concepts of advanced illumination technology engineering. Range The Skills Organisation SSB Code 100401 illustrations include – theoretical, or practical, or concrete, or abstract types. New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 NZQA registered unit standard 11582 version 5 Page 3 of 4 Outcome 2 Apply illumination technology engineering in given applications to an advanced level. Range applications – applications using an integrating sphere, photometric bench, light measurement; interpretation of design parameters from lighting codes; calculations using the lumen method; applications of basic photometry, qualitative and quantitative elements of design, glare control and modelling. Evidence of at least three applications is required. Evidence requirements 2.1 Information sources relevant to the development of the given advanced illumination technology applications are selected in accordance with industry practice. Range 2.2 Principles, rules, formulae, and data relevant to the requirements of the development of the given illumination applications are selected in accordance with industry practice. Range 2.3 includes any of – mathematical or logical interpretation, manipulation, computation, presentation, optimisation. Results reflect valid use, or interpretation, or adaptation, or limitations of the illumination technology concepts and formulae in accordance with industry practice. Range 2.5 requirements include any of – analyses, syntheses, tests, experiments, practical problems. Illumination technology concepts, rules, formulae, and data are used validly and logically to develop the application in accordance with industry practice. Range 2.4 sources include any two of – scientific texts, manufacturers' data, test or experimental measurements, design specifications. results include three of – analysis, design, modelling, behaviour, properties of systems, or equipment, or components, or materials. Outcomes are justified with supporting evidence for the advanced illumination technology applications in accordance with industry practice. Range Planned review date The Skills Organisation SSB Code 100401 evidence includes any of – validity checks, alternative solutions, practical or theoretical justifications. 31 December 2014 New Zealand Qualifications Authority 2016 NZQA registered unit standard 11582 version 5 Page 4 of 4 Status information and last date for assessment for superseded versions Process Version Date Last Date for Assessment Registration 1 24 February 1998 31 December 2013 Revision 2 12 December 2000 31 December 2013 Review 3 18 December 2006 N/A Rollover and Revision 4 15 March 2012 N/A Revision 5 15 January 2014 N/A Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR) reference 0003 This CMR can be accessed at http://www.nzqa.govt.nz/framework/search/index.do. Please note Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA, before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses of study leading to that assessment. Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards. Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that applies to those standards. Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors and assessors, and special resource requirements.
