2. Code of Practice on Energy Labeling of Products. Pursuant to Section 15 of the EEC 
Act, the Code of Practice on Energy Labeling of Products (COPE) provides for the 
calculation methods of the following:  
 
2.1 The Refrigerating Appliances Energy Efficiency Performance Rating (EEPR) or 
the star rating shown in the DOE Energy Label is based on the Energy Efficiency 
Factor (EEF) , which is calculated as follows:  
 
                                                                         Total adjusted volume, in liters  
      Energy Efficiency Factor (EEF)  =                                                           
         Energy consumption, in kWh/24h  
 
Where:   
 
Total adjusted volume    =    SVff + SVOC;  
 
SVff is the volume of fresh food compartment, expressed in liters;  
 
SVOC is the summation of the volume of other compartments, expressed in 
liters; = ((K1 x SVOC1) + (K2 x SVOC2) + (K3 x SVOC3)…)  
 
K is the adjustment factor.   
 
PELP – IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES FOR REFRIGERATING APPLIANCES                           Page 11 of 14 
 Note:   The resulting EEF is rounded off to the nearest 0.1 ℓ/kWh. The decision will 
be based on the rounded -off value.  
 
The test temperature for determination of energy consumption shall be 32°C. 
Edaily32°C will be used. The Edaily32°C comprises of Energy at steady state 
+ Energy incurred in load processing.  
 
The adjustment factor K , (as seen above) shall be calculated as f ollows:  
 
                                                  T1 – Tc 
                                    K = 
                                                 T1 – TM 
Where:  
 
K is the adjustment factor;  
 
T1 is the ambient temperature, °C;  
 
Tc is the compartment temperatures. i.e. frozen food compartment, chiller 
compartment, etc., °C; and  
 
TM is the fresh food compartment temperature, °C.  
 
Note:      Actual temperatures of each compartment shall be used in the above 
formula  
 
Computation of adjusted storage volumes:  
 
Computation of adjusted storage volume of frozen food compartment  
shall be made using the following equation:  
 
                                                FZAV = SVmfz x KFZ  
Where:  
 
FZAV  is the adjusted volume of frozen food compartment, in liters;  
 
SVmfz  is the measured volume of frozen food compartment, in liters; and  
 
KFZ (same formula as K) is the adjustment factor  
 
Computation of adjusted storage volume of chiller compartment  shall be 
made using the following equation:  
 
                                         CCAV = SVmcc x Kcc  
 
Where:  
 
CCAV  is the adjusted storage volume of chiller compartment, in liters;  
 
SVmcc  is the measured storage volume of chiller compartment, in liters; 
and 
 
Kcc (same formula as K) is the adjustment factor  
 
 
 PELP – IMPLEMENTING GUIDELINES FOR REFRIGERATING APPLIANCES                           Page 12 of 14 
 Computation of adjusted storage volume of cellar compartment  shall be 
made using the following equation:  
 
                                                CAV = SVmc x KC  
Where:  
 
CAV  is the adjusted volume of cellar compartment, in liters;  
 
SVmc  is the measured volume of cellar compartment, in liters; and  
 
KC (same formula as K) is the adjustment factor  
 
Note:  The rationale for multiplying each compartment volume by an adjustment 
factor “K” is that, it takes “K” times as much energy to maintain a given 
insulated space at -18 °C than it does at +4°C in a 32°C ambient 
temperature.  
 
Typical refrigerator -freezer mod els have two temperature zones, a fresh 
food storage area that operates at about +4°C and a frozen food storage 
area that operates at about -18°C for a 3 -star freezer compartment. To 
compare, on an equitable basis, a model with a large percentage of its to tal 
volume devoted to freezer space, to a model with small percentage of its 
total volume devoted to a freezer space, an adjustment factor “K” is applied 
to the freezer volume. This adjustment is the ratio of heat flow through 
freezer wall to heat flow thr ough an equivalent fresh food wall, which is 
proportional to the ratio of the temperature difference.  
 
The EEPR reflected on the DOE Energy Label shall correspond to the EEF value 
shown in the product test report during product registration. The EEPR shall  be 
adjusted accordingly (as needed) once the product has undergone verification 
testing.  
 
2.2 For the estimation of monthly energy kWh consumption  (based on a specified 
hour of daily usage), as shown in the DOE Energy Label, the calculation is as 
follows:  
 
Monthly kWh Consumption = Daily kWh x 30   
 
Where:  
 
Daily kWh  is the measured energy consumption for 24 hours. This corresponds 
to the value  reflected  in the product test report during product registration  
 
2.3 For the estimation of monthly electricity cost , the calculation is as follows:  
 
Monthly Electricity Cost = Monthly kWh Consumption x Electricity Price  
 
Where:   
 
Electricity Price  is the prevailing peso per kWh, as indicated in the electricity bill 
issued by an electric power distribution company.

 2.4 For the estimation of  monthly Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission  due to monthly 
electricity consumption, the calculation is as follows:  
 
Monthly GHG emission = Monthly kWh Consumption x Emission Factor  
 
Where:  
 
Emission Factor  is the Simple Operating Margin (OM) Emission Factor derived 
using the power grid statistics and is available in the DOE Website.   
   
The unit of the calculated GHG emission shall be in kg CO 2.
