—Project abatement amount

—Preliminary

Operation of this Part For paragraph 106(1)(c) of the Act, this Part specifies the method for working out the carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount for a reporting period for a lighting upgrade project that is an eligible offsets project. Note This is called the project abatement amount in this determination (see section 5).

Overview of gases accounted for in abatement calculations The following table provides an overview of the greenhouse gases and emissions sources that are relevant to working out the project abatement amount for a lighting upgrade project.

Greenhouse gases and emissions sources Item Relevant emissions Emissions source Greenhouse gas calculation

1 Baseline emissions Electricity consumption Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Project emissions Methane (CH4)

Nitrous oxide (N2O)

Data to be used in calculations The project proponent for the project must use one of the following to determine energy consumption in relation to a lighting upgrade for the purpose of establishing the nominal lamp power of a lamp or luminaire: product specifications publically released by the manufacturer; Example Specifications published on the manufacture’s website or printed specifications used for marketing purposes. standard test reports; a manufacture’s declaration of the nominal lamp power; a power rating label affixed by the manufacturer on a lamp or luminaire.

Lighting systems to be used in calculations For the purposes of working out the project abatement amount for a reporting period, the project proponent must include only lighting systems that are in commission before the end of the reporting period. The proponent may choose not to include a particular lighting system in the calculations for the period. A project proponent must not include a lighting system in the calculations if, at any time during the reporting period, any of the following circumstances apply:

EXPOSURE DRAFT the type of the serviced area of the lighting system is not the same as the type immediately before the commencement of the upgrade; for a lighting system other than a public lighting system—the serviced area of the lighting system is smaller than immediately before the commencement of the lighting upgrade; any lighting equipment is used in addition to project lighting equipment in the serviced area; after the completion of the lighting upgrade, project lighting equipment is replaced and this results in the lighting system consuming more energy than it did with the project lighting equipment. For the purposes of paragraph (3)(b), the serviced area of the lighting system is smaller than immediately before the commencement of the upgrade if it is less than 95% of the previous service area.

—Calculating project abatement amount

Summary

The project abatement amount for a project for a reporting period is the sum of the abatement for all lighting systems in the project in the reporting period.

The carbon dioxide equivalent net abatement amount of each lighting system is the baseline emissions minus the project emissions for the lighting system.
