C.2. Assessment of the project implementation against the registered PDD or any approved
revised PDD<Means of verification>
The project introduces high efficiency inverter air conditioners in newly opened hotel Novotel
Suites Hanoi in Hanoi City, Vietnam. The project includes 301 indoor units and 17 outdoor units
that COP values are 3.27, 3.29, 4.05, 4.09 and 4.53. Use of high efficiency air conditioners
contributes saving of electricity supplied by the public electricity grid system and reduces GHG
emissions from generation of grid electricity. The project employs Hitachi high efficiency air
conditioning system SET-FREE. The key technology is new type DC inverter scroll compressor
that largely improves the intermediate pressure performance for energy saving by use of arelease valve to prevent over compression and optimising orbiting scroll lifting force to reduceleakage loss in the improved new compression mechanism.
Diesel power generators are kept for emergency purpose only. Heat pump units are used tosupply hot water and there is no boiler. There are other air-conditioning units not included in
the project that service areas are separated (kitchen and corridors) and the electricity supply
to those units is also separated from the project.
The project is implemented by Peace Real Estate Investment Company Limited from theSocialist Republic of Viet Nam and NTT DATA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENTCONSULTING, Inc. from Japan. The start date of project operation is on 06/10/2016 and the
expected operational lifetime of the project is for 10 years.

C.4. Assessment of data and calculation of GHG emission reductions<Means of verification>
The MR is developed using the MRS applied to the registered JCM project that is confirmed
fulfilment of the requirements of the MRS of the applied methodology.
LRQA has determined that:
1. a complete set of data for the specified monitoring period is available,
2. information provided in the MR has been cross-checked with other sources such as plant
log books, inventories, purchase records, laboratory analysis,
3. calculations of reference emissions (REs) and project emissions (PEs), as appropriate, havebeen carried out in accordance with the formulae and methods described in the MP and theapplied methodology,
4. any assumptions used in emission calculations have been justified, and5. appropriate emission factors, default values and other reference values have been correctly9JCM_VN_F_Vrf_Rep_ver02.0

applied.
The sources of GHG emissions are consumption of grid electricity and CO2 emissions by thereference air conditioning systems to determine the reference emissions (REs) andconsumption of grid electricity and CO2 emissions by the project air conditioning systems
including the indoor units and outdoor units to determine the project emissions (PEs) inaccordance with the applied methodology.
The REs are calculated by electricity consumption of project air conditioning systems, ratio of
COPs of project and reference air conditioning systems, and CO2 emission factor of theelectricity. The CO2 emission factor of the grid electricity is 0.5657 tCO2/MWh as fixed ex-anteat the validation.
COPs of outdoor unit of the project air conditioning systems are fixed ex-ante at the validation
based on the manufacturer’s specification at 3.27, 3.29, 4.05, 4.09 and 4.53.
The default value is applied for COP of the reference air conditioning system that is fixed exante with 2.56 for all the system since the cooling capacity of all the project air conditioning
system is greater than 56 kW.
The GHG emission reductions during the monitoring period (each for year 2016 and 2017) arecalculated as: ERp = REp - PEp = ∑i {EC_PJ,i,outdoor,p × (COP_PJ,i,outdoor ÷ COP_RE,i)}× EF_elec - (∑i EC_PJ,i,outdoor,p + EC_PJ,indoor,p) × EF_elec

Total electricity consumption in first monitoring period of 12 months is 857.55 MWh and it is
23% of ex-ante estimate in PDD of 3,743 MWh. In the absence of data and information for
accurate estimation, the electricity consumption was calculated ex-ante in the registered PDD
by the rated electricity consumption of the equipment and 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
The project air conditioning system is operated 24 hours a day and 365 days a year as thehotel operates but in a various load conditions. The actual electricity consumption of the air
conditioning system is considered as reasonable under the weather conditions of Hanoi City inyears 2016 and 2017 although the GHG emission reductions that will be achieved by the projectwill be dependent on the weather conditions over the crediting period.
