 (1) In this determination:
Act means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative) Act 2011.
baseline period, for an IE unit—see section 22.
biomass means organic matter other than:
 (a) fossil fuel, for example coal, lignite, petroleum or natural gas; and
 (b) biofuel, for example ethanol or biodiesel.
CO2-e means carbon dioxide equivalence.
commissioned: following an IE upgrade, the upgraded unit is commissioned on the date that it is first used to produce an output in a period of normal operation after the end of the commissioning period.
commissioning period, following an IE upgrade, means the period ending when:
 (a) any equipment performance testing, calibration or similar activity required to demonstrate that the upgraded unit operates as intended has been completed; and
 (b) any action, or installation of equipment, required for upgraded unit to perform its functions in the normal operation of the relevant system of equipment has been completed.
declaration day, in relation to an eligible IEU project, means the day that it was declared an eligible offsets project under section 27 of the Act.
eligible IEU project means an IEU project that has been declared an eligible offsets project under section 27 of the Act.
energy-consuming equipment means equipment that consumes either fuel or electricity.
excisable interval for an IE unit—see subsection 22(8).
government supported renewable energy for an IE unit during a period, means electricity used by the IE unit that was generated at the site served by the unit, from renewable sources, using equipment that:

HVAC heating/cooling ventilation fan means a fan that:
 (a)  services the space heating, space cooling or ventilation systems of a building; and
 (b) is designed or configured to operate only when the space heating or space cooling applications are heating or cooling the spaces enclosed by the building envelope.
IEU project (for industrial equipment upgrade project)—see subsection 8(10).
IE service means an output of a type listed in subsection 8(4).
IE unit (for industrial equipment unit)—see subsection 8(5)
IE upgrade (for industrial equipment upgrade)—see subsection 8(6).
IEFE Methodology means the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative—Industrial Electricity and Fuel Efficiency) Methodology Determination 2015.
industrial cooling means refrigerant-based cooling services
