MEM23143 — Apply energy management principles

1 Determine energy sources used in HVACR and their primary function in building energy management programs

• 1.1Obtain and implement work health and safety (WHS) and environmental requirements for the work area
• 1.2Identify passive energy characteristics in the building design and predict their impact on energy management
• 1.3Identify common energy sources, their standard units and local supply authorities, and evaluate for safe usage
• 1.4Establish the operating functions of all principal hardware components in a BMS
• 1.5Identify energy requirements for major system components operating within their normal range
• 1.6Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure that work is coordinated effectively with others

2 Monitor a building management system

• 2.1Check and monitor equipment status using energy management functions and data from BMS
• 2.2Use BMS software to access, monitor and control system components
• 2.3Check status of monitored BMS for compliance with specified normal operating parameters and environmental requirements
• 2.4Predict the annual consumption of major system components
• 2.5Consult on any contingencies and unexpected situations and take appropriate action based on specifications, codes and standards, and organisational procedures

3 Conduct an energy audit for a building

• 3.1Determine objectives of a HVACR maintenance management system
• 3.2Evaluate energy costs and tariffs for local supply authorities
• 3.3Determine methodology for the auditing process, including data gathering techniques
• 3.4Prepare appropriate energy audit documentation and implementation strategy for an energy management program in a multi-storey building

4 Plan efficient energy management operations

• 4.1Incorporate requirements of an energy efficient plant control system into building operation procedures, including suitable contingency and suitable risk management procedures
• 4.2Compile plant operating annual reporting timetable
• 4.3Advise on staff awareness-raising policy for energy conservation in a multi-storey building

What does an assessment tool for MEM23143 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM23143 needs to address all 38 unit components: 4 elements with 18 performance criteria, 8 performance evidence requirements, 12 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 MEM23143?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM23143 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 MEM23143 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM23143 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 MEM23143, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
