1. Scope and applicability
1.

Joint Crediting Mechanism Guidelines for Developing Proposed Methodology (hereinafterreferred to as “these Guidelines”) are intended to assist each side or project participants(hereinafterreferred

to as“methodology proponents”)

inpreparing

proposedmethodologies for the Joint Crediting Mechanism (hereinafter referred to as “JCM”)(hereinafter referred to as “proposed methodologies”).
2.

These Guidelines are also to be referred to by the Joint Committee in developing andassessing proposed methodologies.

3.

These Guidelines describe standards which are requirements to be met, except guidanceindicated with terms “should” and “may” as defined in paragraph 5 below.

4.

Submission and subsequent assessment of a proposed methodology are conducted in linewith the procedure delineated in Joint Crediting Mechanism Project Cycle Procedure.

2. Terms and definitions
5.

The following terms apply in this Guidelines:(a) “Should” is used to indicate that among several possibilities, one course of action isrecommended as particularly suitable;(b) “May” is used to indicate what is permitted.

6.

Terms in the Proposed Methodology Form are defined in JCM Glossary of Terms available
on the JCM website.

3. Key concepts
3.1. Reference emissions
7.

In the JCM, emission reductions to be credited are defined as the difference between
reference emissions and project emissions.

8.

The reference emissions are calculated to be below business-as-usual (BaU) emissions
which represent plausible emissions in providing the same outputs or service level of the
proposed JCM project in the Republic of Costa Rica.

Definitions

BEMS

BEMS is a computer system designed to recognize the statusof energy use within indoor environments in commercial
buildings and so forth using; measurement/gauging, control,and monitoring devices; analysis, diagnosis, and data storage
equipment in an attempt to “control” energy consuming
operations of equipment and facilities in these structures.
Furthermore, if the system is utilized for “visualization" only,
it is not to be directly used for emission reductions.
Therefore, such project is not to be included in thismethodology

・ Please provide definitions of key terms that are used in the proposed methodology.

C. Summary of the methodology
Items
GHG

emissionmeasures

Summary
reduction Building energy management system (BEMS) that improves theefficiency of energy consumption for existing buildings bymonitoring and regulating electricity and fuel consumption.

Calculationofemissionsreference Reference emissions is calculated on the basis of projectemissions derived from monitored fuel and electricity
consumption, under the assumption that certain percentage ofenergy consumption is decreased through introduction of
BEMS.
The BaU scenario assumes that BEMS will not be introduced in
the Republic of Costa Rica, which is justified since there are
currently no plans to introduce BEMS.
In the methodology, the rates of emission reductions throughvarious BEMS measures are fixed at a rate lower than thosecommonly observed.
Therefore, the methodology results in a net reduction ofemissions, since reference emissions are lower than BaU
emissions.

Calculationofproject Project emissions are calculated on the basis of monitored

emissionselectricity and fuel consumption.

Monitoring parameters

Electricity and fuel consumption are monitored.

・ Please summarize the key elements of the proposed methodology, including brief
description on:
・ GHG emission reduction measures;
・ How the proposed methodology calculates the reference emissions;・ How the proposed methodology calculates the project emissions;・ Key monitoring parameters and methods.

D. Eligibility criteria

This methodology is applicable to projects that satisfy all of the following criteria.
Criterion 1

Energy Management System is to be introduced in already existing buildings.

Criterion 2

The operation and control of equipment and facilities to reduce energy
consumption for indoor environments are to be carried out by Energy
Management System itself, not just upgrading equipments for energy
consumption.

Criterion 3

Be able to identify all energy consumption in the building(s) having equipment
controlled by Energy Management System.

・ Eligibility criteria are those that can be examined objectively.
・ Eligibility criteria include:
・ Characteristics to identify the measures (e.g. technology, product, or service) applied
to the methodology;
・ Conditions that are necessary in order to enable robust calculation of GHG emission
reductions by the algorithm contained in the methodology, e.g. the situation before theimplementation of the measure, in cases where reference emissions is calculated on
the basis of historical performance of the facility.
・ Eligibility criteria should be, to the extent possible, those that can be ascertained uponvalidation, i.e. eligibility criteria should avoid those which need to be monitored ex post.
For example, actual performance of a measure should not be included as eligibility
criteria, since it is not certain at the validation whether the stated performance can beachieved. On the other hand, performance as defined by nameplate figures can be included
as eligibility criteria since it can be readily checked upon validation.
・ Eligibility criteria may be represented by:7

JCM_CR_GL_PM_ver01.0

・ Certain technology (e.g. ultra supercritical coal fired power plants);
・ Certain technology with a design efficiency or performance indicator above a certain
threshold (e.g. a power plant with a thermal efficiency above X%);
・ Certain sector to which the measure is applied.

E. Emission Sources and GHG types
The emission sources include all the following GHG emission sources and GHG types in thebuilding to which BEMS is applied.

F. Establishment and calculation of reference emissions
8

JCM_CR_GL_PM_ver01.0

F.1. Establishment of reference emissions
Reference emissions are calculated on the basis of project emissions derived from monitored
fuel and electricity consumption, under the assumption that certain percentage of energy
consumption is decreased through introduction of BEMS.
The BaU emissions assume the emissions when BEMS will not be introduced in the Republic of
Costa Rica, which is justified since there are currently no plans to introduce BEMS.
In the methodology, the rates of emission reductions through various BEMS measures are fixed
at a rate lower than those commonly observed. Therefore, the methodology results in a net
reduction of emissions, since reference emissions are lower than the BaU emissions.
F.2. Calculation of reference emissions
