SCHEDULE 6

Sch. 6

Regulation 6(f)

HIGH EFFICIENCY DUCTED GAS HEATER REPLACING A CENTRAL ELECTRIC RESISTANCE HEATER

Prescribed activity under regulation 6(f):     Decommissioning a central electric resistance heater that provides heating to a space with a floor area of at least 100m ² and installing a product that complies with the criteria specified in Part A of Schedule 6 .

PART A—CRITERIA

Item

    6A     Ducted gas heater certified by an accredited body to achieve a minimum 5 star rating when tested and rated in accordance with AS 4556—2000 with a minimum rated output heating capacity of 10 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 and listed in the ESC register.

PART B—CALCULATION OF CARBON DIOXIDE EQUIVALENTS OF GREENHOUSE GASES

The method and variables to be used to calculate in tonnes the carbon dioxide equivalent of greenhouse gases to be reduced by decommissioning of a central electric resistance 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 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
Sch. 6

    6A     Abatement factor:

        (a)     If the product has a rated output heating capacity of not less than 10 and not     more than 18 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 and has     a star rating determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 5·0 and not more
than 5·49:     119·43;

              (ii)     5·5 or more:     121·44;

        (b)     If the product has a rated output heating capacity of more than 18 and not     more than 28 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 and has     a star rating determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 5·0 and not more
than 5·49:     151·07;

              (ii)     5·5 or more:     153·61;

        (c)     If the product has a rated output heating capacity of more than 28 kW as     determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 and has a star rating     determined in accordance with AS 4556—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 5·0 and not more
than 5·49:     188·48;

              (ii)     5·5 or more:     191·66.

        (a)     If the product is installed in metropolitan
Victoria:     1;

        (b)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Mild:     1·08;

        (c)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Cold:     1·74;

        (d)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Hot:     0·76.

PART C—TIME AT WHICH ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN

Sch. 6

Item

    6A     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 ducted gas heating and the day on which the central electric resistance heater is decommissioned.
