Competency Area
Understanding operational
context of the organisation
being assessed.
Familiarity with, and ability to
apply, the requirements of
energy efficiency assessment
methods.
Example of Competence (overwrite the text below)

Analysing energy use, energy consumption and energy efficiency.

Identifying trends, anomalies, and investigating the reasons for
anomalies, where practicable.

Where the appropriate and relevant, complementing the analysis
with energy benchmark data.

Identifying and quantifying variables influencing energy consumption
and energy efficiency.

Identifying and calculating energy performance indicators for the
organisation and/or the scope of the energy efficiency assessment.
This could include data from external as well as internal sources, for
example, the interpretation and scrutiny of energy billings and
anomalies in such data sources.

Using collected energy data, and other relevant data, to understand
energy use in order to identify opportunities for improvement.

Using the relevant technical and non-technical knowledge and skills
to check any assumptions made, explain the energy data, and check
the applicability of identified opportunities for improvement.

Developing a concept and cost for the potential implementation of
opportunities.

Working with clients/organisation/other internal personnel to:
Scoping an energy efficiency
assessment, as applicable to
the organisation being
assessed.
Understanding, in detail,
energy use and energy
systems applicable to the
organisation being assessed.
Managing energy efficiency
assessment team budgets

Identify the different groups in organisations that can have
an effect on energy consumption;

Identify the diversity of expertise, knowledge, skills and
attitudes required to achieve an improvement in energy
performance;

Establish two-way communication with all of the identified
groups of ideas, and to engage the different groups to
implement energy efficient behaviours.

Producing a technical and non-technical energy efficiency assessment
report.

Producing a business case for improving energy performance.

Making presentations of energy efficiency assessment findings to
both technical and non-technical staff in the organisation being
assessed.

