MEM23141 — Complete a building thermal performance survey

1 Estimate heat load for a multiple zone commercial or industrial building

• 1.1Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for the work area
• 1.2Determine extent of the performance survey from work sheets, drawings, building specifications or other documentation and discussions with appropriate personnel
• 1.3Determine sources of heat gains
• 1.4Coordinate work effectively with all team members
• 1.5Obtain and check resources and equipment required for the performance survey

2 Analyse the air conditioning heat and cooling load

• 2.1Complete room sensible and latent heat estimates of a multiple zone building
• 2.2Identify peak effective room latent and sensible and latent heat loads over time of day and year for each zone
• 2.3Determine the thermal performance of the building using simulation software

3 Investigate building design improvement options

• 3.1Analyse alternative building design improvement options with respect to the effect on thermal performance using simulation software
• 3.2Identify unacceptably high thermal loads on the building using check figures and industry standards
• 3.3Prepare recommendations for changes in building design and/or treatment to eliminate unacceptably high thermal loads
• 3.4Document and recommend improvements of thermal performance of the building to appropriate personnel
• 3.5Consult as required on unexpected situations and take appropriate action

4 Specify system design

• 4.1Determine equipment size, including coil and air handling unit capacities for constant and variable volume systems, and central refrigeration and boiler capacities based on the recommendations
• 4.2Document the completed survey in accordance with organisational procedures, including all recommendations, building design improvements and/or treatments, and appropriate system design specifications
• 4.3Prepare a formal survey report in consultation with appropriate personnel and in accordance with organisational procedures

What does an assessment tool for MEM23141 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23141 needs to address all 44 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 9 performance evidence requirements, 19 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM23141?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23141 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM23141 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM23141 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM23141, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
