What an assessment for CPPHES4007 must cover

34 assessable components: 4 elements (16 performance criteria), 1 performance evidence and 15 knowledge evidence requirements, plus 2 foundation skills. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Plan and organise thermal performance assessment.

1.1Consult with client to clarify purpose of thermal performance assessment and respond to questions and concerns.
1.2Confirm assessment requirements in line with client needs, legislation, regulations, standards, codes and government incentive programs for improving thermal performance of existing residential buildings.
1.3Plan thermal performance assessment in consultation with client and according to work health and safety (WHS) requirements.
1.4Prepare thermal performance assessment documentation and confirm that required tools and equipment are available and in working order.

2 Compile and analyse information on thermal performance of residence.

2.1Gather information from client to clarify building use and construction details.
2.2Select and fit required personal protective equipment (PPE).
2.3Carry out measurements and observations during on-site inspection to confirm factors impacting thermal performance.
2.4Record information using appropriate data collection tool.
2.5Analyse information to identify strengths and weaknesses in thermal performance of residence.

3 Analyse options for improving thermal performance of residence.

3.1Source technical information on building thermal performance and evaluate suitability for existing residence.
3.2Identify government rebates and other assistance programs for thermal performance of existing residential buildings.
3.3Evaluate options for improving thermal performance and reducing emissions of the residence.
3.4Identify cost effective measures for improving thermal performance of the residence according to organisational requirements.

4 Report findings of thermal performance assessment.

4.1Collate results, recommendations and supporting evidence of thermal performance assessment.
4.2Write up options and prioritise recommendations for thermal performance improvements.
4.3Discuss report and indicative costs and improvements in thermal performance with client.

Performance evidence

To demonstrate competency, a candidate must meet the performance criteria of this unit by conducting thermal performance assessments and identifying thermal performance improvements for a minimum of two different existing residential buildings.

Knowledge evidence

Australian climate zones, characteristics and data used in thermal performance assessments: diurnal temperature range, humidity, irradiance, minimum and maximum temperature, solar geometry, wind speed and direction
building thermal performance principles: glazing, shading and insulation for controlling temperature, orientation impacts, thermal mass for storing, ventilation
definition of thermal comfort and its role in thermal performance assessments
hazards and risks and types of personal protective equipment (PPE) to be used when conducting on-site thermal performance assessments
impact of building design and materials on thermal performance: condensation, constraints on choice of building materials, embodied energy and lifecycle properties of building materials, thermal performance properties of common building materials
key requirements of codes, standards, regulations and government incentive programs associated with improving the thermal performance of existing residences
options for improving thermal performance of existing residences
passive energy design principles
physical factors that influence thermal comfort
relationship between building design, energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions
relationship between building thermal performance and thermal comfort
requirements, documentation and uses of thermal performance ratings
safe work requirements for on-site thermal performance assessments
types, advantages and disadvantages of non-rating tools and techniques used to assess thermal performance of residential buildings
units of measurement for energy and power associated with thermal performance assessments

Foundation skills

oral communication skills: to interact with clients from diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds
numeracy skills: to interpret different units of measurement associated with existing residential buildings and their construction features

Questions about assessing CPPHES4007

What does an assessment tool for CPPHES4007 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for CPPHES4007 needs to address all 34 unit components: 4 elements with 16 performance criteria, 1 performance evidence requirements, 15 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 CPPHES4007?

Auditori pulls the current release of CPPHES4007 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 CPPHES4007 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing CPPHES4007 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 CPPHES4007, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
