CPCPPS5024 — Conduct a water audit and identify water-saving initiatives

1 Calculate water use

• 1.1Establish scope of work for conducting water audits.
• 1.2Identify requirements from relevant Australian Standards, codes, plans, specifications, manufacturer requirements and client brief.
• 1.3Apply sustainability principles and concepts throughout water audit process.
• 1.4Specify types of flow and pressure-measuring devices including their location and use.
• 1.5Conduct flow and pressure tests and measure flows at outlets.
• 1.6Compare actual water use to ideal use and calculate the difference.

2 Identify excessive water and energy use

• 2.1Implement leak identification processes considering safety of system users or building occupants.
• 2.2Measure and evaluate flows against relevant standards and user requirements.
• 2.3Evaluate suitability of existing fixtures and fittings against new technology.
• 2.4Identify and compare water use times against optimal timing.
• 2.5Identify and analyse existing inefficient system conditions.
• 2.6Conduct pressure test and identify and compare consequences of high and low pressures to industry standards.
• 2.7Evaluate energy saving associated with reduction in water use.

3 Evaluate methods to conserve water and energy

• 3.1Identify flow restrictors, sensors, pressure-limiting devices and automatic systems for a range of applications.
• 3.2Evaluate alternative processes and practices for optimum water and energy savings.
• 3.3Evaluate alternative fixtures and fittings for optimum water and energy savings.
• 3.4Apply rainwater harvesting techniques and processes.
• 3.5Design recycling and re-use processes.
• 3.6Design water metering strategies to monitor and problem solve water saving systems.

4 Report findings

• 4.1Conduct a cost-benefit analysis including the investment return period.
• 4.2Prepare water and energy audit report.
• 4.3Identify and report resulting environmental benefits and water and energy savings.

What does an assessment tool for CPCPPS5024 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPCPPS5024 needs to address all 39 unit components: 4 elements with 22 performance criteria, 5 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 CPCPPS5024?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPCPPS5024 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 CPCPPS5024 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPCPPS5024 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 CPCPPS5024, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
