SCHEDULE 9

Sch. 9

Regulation 6(i)

GAS OR LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS SPACE HEATER

Prescribed activity under regulation 6(i): Installing a gas or liquefied petroleum gas space heater that is flued and complies with the criteria specified in Part A of Schedule 9.

PART A—CRITERIA

Item

    9A     A product certified by an accredited body, achieving a minimum energy star rating of 4 when tested and rated to AS 4553—2000 or AS 4553—2008, with a minimum rated output heating capacity of 2 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 or AS 4553—2008 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 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:

    9A     Abatement factor:    

        (a)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of not less than 2 and not more than 3 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 and has an energy star rating determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 4·0 and not more
than 4·9:     4·32;

              (ii)     5 or more:     4·83;

        (b)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of more than 3 and not more than 6 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 and has an energy star rating determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 4.0 and not more
than 4·9:     8·19;

              (ii)     5 or more:     9·17;

        (c)     If the product provides a rated output heating capacity of more than 6 kW as determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 and has an energy star rating when determined in accordance with
AS 4553—2000 of—

              (i)     not less than 4·0 and not more
than 4·9:     10·22;
Sch. 9

              (ii)     5 or more:     11·44.

    9A     Regional factor:    

        (a)     If the product has an energy star rating determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 of not less than 4·0 and not more than 4·9 and—

              (i)     is installed in metropolitan Victoria:     1·00;

              (ii)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Mild:     0·32;

              (iii)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Cold:     0·51;

              (iv)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Hot:     0·22;

        (b)     If the product has an energy star rating determined in accordance with AS 4553—2000 of 5·0 or more and—

              (i)     is installed in metropolitan Victoria:     1·00;

              (ii)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Mild:     0·39;

              (iii)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Cold:     0·63;

              (iv)     is installed in regional Victoria—
climatic region Hot:     0·27.

PART C—TIME AT WHICH ACTIVITY UNDERTAKEN

Item
Sch. 9

    9A     At the beginning of the day on which the installed product is first able to produce and deliver heating.
