proxy method to measure the amount of energy that is not used by sub-unit.
 (1) This section applies to both the original unit and the upgraded unit of each IE unit of the project.
What the unit must include
 (2) The unit must include at least one item of energy-consuming equipment.
 (3) For each included item, the unit must also include each other item of equipment (including energy-consuming equipment, components, or connecting equipment) that:
 (a) operates with the included item in producing one or more of the outputs of the system; or
 (b) uses energy from the included item, other than energy that is, or is a component of, the output of the IE unit as a whole; or
 (c) can, in operation, be substituted for or used as an alternative to the included item; or
 (d) may experience an increase in emissions as a result of the IE unit upgrade.
Examples:
 (i): Piping; ducting; heat exchangers.
 (ii): If a system includes a compressor, and a boiler uses waste heat from the compressor for pre-heating, the system must also include the boiler.
 (iii): If a refrigeration system uses several fans, and load can be shared between them they must be treated as a single system.
 (iv): If a pumping system uses several pumps, and load can be shared between them, then downsizing one pump could lead to greater loads for the other pumps increasing emissions.
What the unit must not include
 (4) The unit must not include any equipment that is also included in another IE unit of the project (shared equipment) unless:
 (a) the shared equipment is not subject to the IE upgrade; and
 (b) either:
 (i) the shared equipment is not energy-consuming equipment; or
 (ii) the amount of energy consumed by the shared equipment is expected to be less than 5% of the energy used by each of the IE units served by it; and
 (c) the equipment does not transfer materials or energy between any of the IE units served by it; and
 (d) the shared equipment is included in the IE unit for both the baseline period and the project measurement period.
Examples:
(i): Electrical switching equipment that uses a non-material amount of electricity for its functions may serve several IE units, and be treated as part of each of them, provided that it does not transfer electric power between units, for example by providing a load-balancing service.
 (ii): A dedicated rail track or pipeline may be shared by IE units provided that each IE unit uses it independently to move material between its different components, and all the energy used for the movement of one unit's material is consumed within that unit.
 (5) The unit
