PART B—CALCULATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES
Sch. 18
The method and variables to be used to calculate in tonnes the carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases to be reduced by 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 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
18A Abatement factor:
{[0·5228 × (368 + 0·892 × V ff )] – CEC} × 0·01392
where V ff is the volume in litres of the fresh food compartment of the product and CEC is the comparative energy consumption specified on the energy rating label as defined by AS/NZS 4474.2:2001.
18B Abatement factor:
{[0·4333 × (465 + 1·378 × (V ff + 1·6 × V fr ))] – CEC} × 0·01392
where V ff is the volume in litres of the fresh food compartment of the
product, V fr is the volume of the freezer compartment and CEC is the
comparative energy consumption specified on the energy rating label as defined
by AS/NZS 4474.2:2001 .
Sch. 18
18C Abatement factor:
{[0·6889 × (248 + 1·072 × V fr )] – CEC] × 0·01719
where V fr is the volume of the freezer compartment and CEC is the comparative energy consumption specified on the energy rating label as defined by AS/NZS 4474.2:2001.
18D Abatement factor:
{[0·5007 × (439 +1·632 × V fr )] – CEC} × 0·01719
where V fr is the volume of the freezer compartment and CEC is the comparative energy consumption specified on the energy rating label as defined by AS/NZS 4474.2:2001.
18A–18D Regional factor:
(a) If the product is installed in
metropolitan
Victoria: 0·98;
(b) If the product is installed in
regional Victoria: 1·04.
PART C—TIME AT WHICH ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN
Item
Sch. 18
18A–18D At the beginning of the day on which the installation of the product is completed.
