(3) The project proponent must not include an equipment unit in the calculations for the
period if, at any time during the reporting period, any of the following circumstances
apply:
(a) the unit was decommissioned or removed from the premises;
(b) for a unit that was in commission at the commencement of the reporting period—
the unit was out of service due to a technical malfunction within the unit for more
than 10% of the period;
(c) for a unit that was commissioned during a reporting period—the unit was out of
service due to a technical malfunction within the unit for more than 10% of the
remainder of the period;
Note
An equipment unit is not out of service in circumstances, for example, where the equipment
unit is shutdown for normal maintenance, to manage load variations (for example, seasonal
temperature variations and peak and trough demand variations) and other external factors
(for example, power failures).
(d) the unit was modified in a way that resulted in the unit consuming more energy to
provide the same function.
15 Data to be used in calculations
In calculating the project abatement amount, the project proponent must, for each
equipment unit included in the calculation:
(a) record the model identifier of the unit used to identify the product in the GEMS
Register; and
(b) use values for rating and performance set for that product in the GEMS Register.
Note
These values will be consistent with those in the GEMS determination for the product and
Australian Standards.
Division 2—Calculating project abatement amount
16 Summary
The project abatement amount for a project for the reporting period is the sum of the
carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amounts during the reporting period resulting
from the installation of each equipment unit.
The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount of an equipment unit is the baseline
emissions minus the project emissions in relation to the equipment unit multiplied by the
relevant emissions factor for electricity for the unit.
17 Equation 1—project abatement amount (A)
The project abatement amount for a reporting period is worked out using the formula
