2
Outcome
All jobs submitted to Ecovantage for compliance check 100% correct.
This session will cover:
- How Ecovantage works under VEET
- Compliance – Lighting assessment
- Compliance – Installation
- Certificate of Electrical Safety
- Lighting layout
3
How Ecovantage works under VEET
How energy efficiency schemes work
5
How Ecovantage works under VEET
- We are in the business of ENERGY SAVINGS.
- The product we produce is an energy savings
certificate.
- Under VEET this is called a ‘VEEC’ – Victorian Energy
Efficiency Certificate.
6
Quantify total energy savings

VEECs
ESC
- Essential Services Commission of Victoria
- Commercial lighting compliance rules are
defined and regulated by the ESC
- We must comply with these evidence rules
8
Compliance with ESC regulations
- To create certificates, we must comply with
the ESC’s stringent evidence requirements.
- Proof that the job actually took place:
- Who
- What
- Where
- When
- Proof of energy savings (ie original energy
consumption vs new energy consumption)
9
Evidence validated...production
10
Only after all elements of proof are collected and validated, can we create our product
Incomplete / Incorrect evidence
If we are missing one of the points of evidence, we can’t create our product: the certificates.
11
COMPLIANCE Lighting assessment
Conduct LIGHTING ASSESSMENT
Involves the following:
- Enter customer details
- Divide building into CLUs –
Commercial Lighting Upgrade areas
- Collect photo evidence (geo
tagged)
- Collect documentary evidence:
- Space Type/BCA Classification
(where required)
- Copy of floor plan
13
Customer details
Pay particular attention to:
- Address - Critical to have full street
address in Runabout and on Certificate of Electrical Safety
- Email – Required so we can email
completed paperwork to them
- Company Name - Must be the exact
business name eg Expanse Digital not Expanse
14
Assessment questions
Pay particular attention to:
- Company ABN/CAN - Check ABN
carefully with the customer.
- Our compliance team can’t always
look this up (eg may be another business/company/trust trading as…)
- Total floor space – use floor plan or
estimate Wide photo of front of premises Take a clear photo of front of premises showing business name Photo of floor plan
15
Commercial Lighting Upgrade (CLU) areas – How to define
A CLU area is an area where:
- space type
- lighting product
- air conditioning and
- control devices are the same.
For example:
- CLU area 1: Office – Tubes
- CLU area 2: Office - Tubes no AC
- CLU area 3: Office – Downlights
- CLU area 4: Warehouse – High bays
- CLU area 5: Corridors - Downlights
16
Note: CLU areas can quickly and easily be copied to speed this process up.
CLU area details
For each CLU area, pay particular attention to: Wide photo of whole area Take a clear photo showing both the area and the lighting (floor or work height > ceiling)
17
CLU area details
- Describe the upgrade activity
18
Most jobs will be NJ6-C
CLU area details
- Space Type / Building Type
- Select appropriate space type
- See Space Type vs Building
Classification document
- If the space type you select is from:
- Group A - the annual operating hours
for that space type are used (see list
- n page 2).
- Group B - the type of building is used
to determine the operating hours and Runabout asks you to select the Building Classification (see list on
page 3).
19
Space Type/BCA – Additional evidence
Some Space Types/Building Classifications need evidence beyond the photos discussed so far:
- Rental lease agreement
- Strata plan
- Occupancy certificate
- Planning permit
- Report completed by a registered building
surveyor.

- Associate with lighting layout
37
38
Lighting layout
The layout should clearly show:
- Space Types/BCA Classifications of all upgrade areas
(you can locate this in Runabout under Space type for each CLU Area)
- space dimensions of all areas
- pre-upgrade lights – count, type including wattage and
control gear and symbol/key for each type
- post upgrade lights – count, make, model and
symbol/key for each model
- number, type and arrangement of control system(s)
and groupings of lamps controlled by each system.
- direction of north
- air-conditioned areas.
39
Lighting layout – Before and after
If the lighting layout has changed after installation, both before and after plans must be submitted.
40
Lux readings
- 1. Classify the task area
Choose minimum lux level required based on the task being performed.
- 2. Mark out measurement area
- Mark out a zone
- Mark points to form a grid
See Minimum Grid Measurements table for grid size and number of points
- 3. Take lux readings
Take lux readings at each of the points in the grid and write them on the Lux Data Collection sheet.
41

Lux Data Collection sheet
- See Lux Data Collection sheet in training pack.
- Runabout will prompt you for a photo of this sheet.
43
Guidelines for taking lux readings
- Take at the height at which the task is being performed.
- Exclude daylight as much as possible by taking the reading with
all lights off and then all lights on.
- Do not take readings within one metre of a wall.
- Do not take readings in shaded areas or where obstructions
- ccur (eg cabinets).
- When measuring, turn on all adjacent lighting.
- If the lighting layout changes, take additional sample areas.
- When measuring staircases:
- select one flight of stairs that is representative of a type of
staircase
- measure directly on each step.
44
Recycling evidence
- When dropping off recycling, a receipt (or letter of
destruction) must be collected for both:
- lamps
- control gear.
- The receipt must include:
- number of lamps/control gear
- type of lamp/control gear
- See examples…
46
47
CLARITY - stop the blur...
- Hold the phone very still
- Always use two hands
- Allow a few seconds for the focus to kick in
- Tuck your elbows into your sides and brace
them against your body
- Let in as much light as possible
- Try putting the COC or utility bill on the
floor vs desk
- Try taking a couple of shots – delete the one
you don’t want
49
FRAMING - stop the chop...
- For CES, lighting layout, power factor sheet:
- Get directly above it (not off to the side)
- Make sure whole document is in the frame
- Take a few seconds to make sure it’s lined
up (not on an angle)
- For wide area shots
- Need to evidence the area and the lights
- Consider taking photo from the corners of
the areas
- Take at least two shots of each area
