PART B—CALCULATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES
Sch. 1
The method and variables to be used to calculate in tonnes the carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases to be reduced by the decommissioning of an electric resistance water heater, and the installation of a product referred to in an item in Part A is determined by multiplying the abatement factor for that item by the regional factor (if any) applying to the place where the product is installed.
The following are the abatement factors and regional factors for each item in Part A:
Item
1A Abatement factor:
(a) If the product has a storage capacity less than 95 litres: 18·0
(b) If the product has a storage
capacity of
95 litres or more but not more than 140 litres:
32·8
(c) If the product has a storage
capacity of more
than 140 litres: 43·0
1B Abatement factor:
(a) If the product has a water
heating capacity
(L/min) @ 25°C rise of less than 18 L/min:
19·7
(b) If the product has a water
heating capacity
(L/min) @ 25°C rise of 18 L/min or more
but not more
than 22 L/min: 33·7
(c) If the product has a water
heating capacity
(L/min) @ 25°C rise of more than 22 L/min:
43·1
1C Abatement factor:
(a) If the product is a small system as determined in accordance with AS 4234—1994 based on the system's peak daily thermal energy load delivery characteristics and—
(i)
is installed in metropolitan Victoria: 
;
(ii) is
installed in regional Victoria: 
;
(b) If the product is a large system as determined in accordance with AS 4234—1994 based on the system's peak daily thermal energy load delivery characteristics and—
(i) is
installed in metropolitan Victoria: 
;
(ii) is
installed in regional Victoria: 
.
1D Abatement factor:
Sch. 1
(a) If the product is a small system as determined in accordance with AS 4234—1994 based on the system's peak daily thermal energy load delivery characteristics and—
(i)
is installed in metropolitan Victoria: 
;
(ii) is
installed in regional Victoria: 
;
(b) If the product is a large system
as determined in accordance with AS 4234—1994 based on the system's peak
daily thermal energy load delivery characteristics and—
Sch. 1
(i) is
installed in metropolitan Victoria: 
;
(ii) is
installed in regional Victoria: 
.
1A–1B Regional factor:
(a) If the product is installed in
metropolitan
Victoria: 0·97;
(b) If the product is installed in
regional
Victoria: 1·05.
1C–1D Regional factor: 1.
PART C—TIME AT WHICH ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN
Item
1A At the beginning of the day which is the later of the day on which the installed product is first able to produce and deliver water heated by gas or liquefied petroleum petroleum gas and the day on which the electric resistance water heater is decommissioned.
1B At the beginning of the day which is the later of the day on which the installed product is first able to produce and deliver water heated by gas or liquefied petroleum gas and the day on which the electric resistance water heater is decommissioned.
1C At the beginning of the day which is the later of the day on which the installed product is first able to produce and deliver water heated by solar energy and the day on which the electric resistance water heater is decommissioned.
1D At the beginning of the day which is the later
of the day on which the installed product is first able to produce and deliver
water heated by solar energy and the day on which the electric resistance
water heater is decommissioned.
