VICTORIAN ENERGY EFFICIENCY TARGET REGULATIONS 2008 (SR NO 158 OF 2008) - SCHEDULE 8

SCHEDULE 8

Sch. 8

Regulation 6(h)

HIGH EFFICIENCY DUCTED AIR TO AIR HEAT PUMP REPLACING CENTRAL ELECTRIC RESISTANCE HEATER

Prescribed activity under regulation 6(h):     If the residential premises are in a non-gas reticulated area, 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 8 .

PART A—CRITERIA

Item

    8A     A product complying with the MEPS requirement set out in AS/NZS 3823.2:2005, achieving a minimum coefficient of performance of 3·5 when tested in accordance with AS/NZS 3823.1.2:2001 or AS/NZS 3823.3.2002 and a minimum rated output heating capacity of 10 kW as determined in accordance with AS 3823.1.2:2001 at the H1 temperature condition 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 the 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. 8

        (a)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of not less than 10 and not more than 18 kW as determined in accordance with AS/NZS 3823.1.2:2001 at the H1 temperature condition and has a coefficient of performance of—

              (i)     not less than 3·5 and not more
than 3·99:     98·0;

              (ii)     not less than 4 and not more
than 4·49:     104·2;

              (iii)     not less than 4·5 and not more
than 4·99:     108·9;

              (iv)     5 or more:     112·7;

        (b)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of more than 18 and not more than 28 kW as determined in accordance with AS/NZS 3823.1.2: 2001 at the H1 temperature condition and has a coefficient of performance of—

              (i)     not less than 3·5 and not more
than 3·99:     124·1;

              (ii)     not less than 4 and not more
than 4·49:     131·9;

              (iii)     not less than 4·5 and not more
than 4·99:     137·9;

              (iv)     5 or more:     142·7;

        (c)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of more than 28 kW as determined in accordance with AS/NZS 3823.1.2: 2001 at the H1 temperature condition and has a coefficient of performance of—
Sch. 8

              (i)     not less than 3·5 and not more
than 3·99:     156·6;

              (ii)     not less than 4 and not more
than 4·49:     166·1;

              (iii)     not less than 4·5 and not more
than 4·99:     173·4;

              (iv)     5 or more:     179·2.

    8A         Regional factor:    

        (a)     If the product is installed in metropolitan
Victoria:     1·00;

        (b)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Mild:     1·06;

        (c)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Cold:     1·75;

        (d)     If the product is installed in regional
Victoria—climatic region Hot:     0·67.

PART C—TIME AT WHICH ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN

Item

    8A     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 heating and the day on which the central electric resistance heater is decommissioned.
