3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The primary goal of this project was to identify the tasks performed, skills required and training needed to perform green jobs in the State of Oregon. To accomplish this, researchers gathered information on specific green jobs; gathered information on similar jobs done in a traditional manner; and compared occupational data. PROCESS OVERVIEW: Ten occupations were selected for evaluation. Bus and Truck Mechanics and Diesel Engine Specialists (SOC ) Carpenters (SOC ) Construction and Building Inspectors (SOC ) Construction Laborers (SOC ) Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC ) Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters (SOC ) Production Workers, All Other (SOC ) Solar/Photovoltaic Installers (SOC ) Water and Liquid Waste Treatment Plant and System Operators (SOC ) Wind Turbine Service Technician (SOC ) These occupations were identified as having a substantial number of green jobs, or are expected to have a large number of emerging green jobs. The Oregon Employment Department (OED) also identified these occupations as having a strong potential for overall employment growth. The researchers compiled publically available occupational data to create a control profile for each of the ten occupations. Each control profile represents an occupation as it has traditionally been performed. The tasks performed, skills required and training needed to perform the occupation in a traditional manner were identified. The researchers operated under the assumption that the control profile represents the occupation performed in a less green, or non-green manner. Later analysis and comparison allowed the researchers to test that assumption. Several green jobs were identified using OED s definition of a green job. For the purposes of this project a green job is defined as: 2
4 A job that provides a service or produces a product in any of the following categories: 1. Increasing energy efficiency 2. Producing renewable energy 3. Preventing, reducing, or mitigating environmental degradation 4. Cleaning up and restoring the natural environment 5. Providing education, consulting, policy promotion, accreditation, trading and offsets, or similar services supporting categories 1 through 4 Intensive research and evaluation were conducted for three green jobs in each of the ten occupations. The green job data was analyzed to identify commonalities and differences between the green jobs. This analysis allowed the researchers to develop a green profile for each occupation. The tasks performed, skills required and training needed to perform the occupation in a green manner were established. The control profile was then compared to the green profile. Commonalities and differences between tasks performed, skills required and training needed were identified. PROJECT LIMITATIONS: Due to the limits of time and budget, the information gathered during this project was limited to three jobs in each of ten occupations, and research was focused solely on tasks, skills and training. While this is a solid first step, additional green job evaluations would certainly improve the identification of commonalities and differences between occupations done in a traditional manner and green occupations. Additional funding would allow researchers to dig deeper into important occupational information such as technological advances, material usage, process improvements, demographic changes, and geographic distribution. More information would be invaluable to businesses looking to participate in the emerging green economy, Workforce development organizations, educational institutions, and policy makers. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS: **This report focuses on Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC )** **Overall project findings will be presented in a later report** 3

6 PROJECT FINDINGS Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (HVAC Technicians) are responsible for installing, maintaining, operating, and repairing interior climate control systems in residential, commercial and industrial structures. The process of controlling the interior climate of man made structures has progressively gotten more energy efficient and environmentally friendly over the last 30 to 40 years. TASK ANALYSIS: HVAC Technicians work with a wide variety of heating, cooling and refrigeration systems, ranging from a small window mounted AC unit to extremely large industrial systems. While the technology and design of these systems has steadily improved, the tasks performed by the HVAC Technician have basically remained unchanged. Technologic advances, improved system design, environmental awareness, governmental regulation, and government incentives have driven the changes in this occupation. Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC ) TASKS TRADITIONAL HVAC Technicians are responsible for installing, maintaining, operating, and repairing interior climate control systems in residential, commercial and industrial structures. Green HVAC Technicians are responsible for installing, maintaining, operating, and repairing interior climate control systems in residential, commercial and industrial structures. SKILL ANALYSIS: A small difference was identified in the skill levels needed to properly perform the HVAC Technician job in a green manner. Due to the limited scale of this project these differences are not considered statistically significant. Further research will be needed to truly identify and analyze this skill differential. 5
7 Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC ) SKILLS* TRADITIONAL Applied Mathematics: 4 Locating Information: 4 Reading for Information: 5 Green Applied Mathematics: 5 Locating Information: 5 Reading for Information: 5 * The Applied Mathematics, Locating Information, and Reading for Information skill levels were assessed using ACT, Inc. s WorkKeys system. The objective was to quantify the foundational skills needed to perform well in the occupation. PRE-EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION AND TRAINING: No changes to the preparation and training requirements were noted. Trainers have incorporated the changes in equipment and technique into their programs without restructuring how they train HVAC Technicians. Green HVAC Technicians and traditional HVAC Technicians are often one in the same. Most Technicians work on multiple systems at many locations. One job may have them installing a state of the art, high efficiency system and the next might be maintaining a 60-year-old fuel oil furnace. Green or traditional, they become HVAC technicians by completing an approved apprenticeship program, or obtaining on-the-job training. Prior to entering a training program, an applicant must possess very strong foundational skills, and should participate in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC ) PREPARATION AND TRAINING TRADITIONAL Workers must have long-term onthe-job training to gain the necessary skills for this occupation. However, those with postsecondary training have a competitive advantage in this labor market. Green Workers must have long-term onthe-job training to gain the necessary skills for this occupation. However, those with postsecondary training have a competitive advantage in this labor market. 6
8 EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION: HVAC Technicians who perform their job in a green manner must maintain a higher level of knowledge than their traditional counterparts. Green HVAC Technicians must be familiar with a wide array of climate control systems and their proper application. Most importantly, HVAC Technicians must continue to learn as new products and processes emerge. Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Mechanics and Installers (SOC ) EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION TRADITIONAL HVAC Technicians may come in contact with newer technology and equipment. Green HVAC Technicians must stay up to date on new technology and equipment. HVAC Technicians must continue to learn as new products and processes emerge. 7
9 RECOMMENDATIONS FROM SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTS The researchers met with HVAC Technicians during each of the three evaluation sessions. These HVAC Technicians made up a Corp of Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). PRE-EMPLOYMENT PREPARATION AND TRAINING: The SMEs identified a basic understanding of physical science, strong foundational skills, and a solid work ethic as traits needed before entering into the HVAC Technician Occupation. Practical work experience was listed as essential to obtaining stable, quality employment. To get that experience, most of the SMEs had started in an approved apprenticeship program, and participated in CTE programs. EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION: The SMEs stressed the need for HVAC Technicians to continue learning as new products and processes emerge. They acknowledged the need for strong foundational skills in order to maintain career long learning. 8
