27  Minimum abatement amount
 (1) The abatement for a building associated with an increase of one star in the building's NABERS energy rating (the minimum abatement amount), in relation to a measurement period in the reporting period, is worked out using the formula (equation 7):
where:
AMin means the abatement associated with an increase of one star in the building's NABERS energy rating, in relation to the measurement period.
EB means the baseline emissions for the building in relation to the measurement period, in tonnes CO2‑e, worked out using equation 3.
i means a type of fuel consumed at the building in the measurement period.
j means a type of greenhouse gas emitted at the building in the measurement period due to fuel combustion.
QF,(RB+1),i means the consumption of fuel type i at the building in the measurement period, converted to gigajoules, worked out using:
 (a) the relevant NABERS energy reverse calculator for the building; and
 (b) a NABERS energy rating one star higher than the baseline NABERS energy rating for the building in relation to the measurement period worked out using equation 4; and
 (c) the other inputs to the calculator as recorded in, or derived from, the NABERS energy rating report for the building for the measurement period.
Note: An example of an input that is derived from the NABERS energy rating report is the share of energy consumption at the building by source (expressed as a percentage of all energy consumption) for the measurement period.
EFi,j means the emissions factor for fuel type i and greenhouse gas type j, in kilograms CO2‑e per gigajoule, specified for the fuel type or greenhouse gas type in Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination.
QEN,(RB+1) means the consumption of electricity at the building in the measurement period, in kilowatt hours, at the building worked out using:
 (a) the relevant NABERS energy reverse calculator for the building; and
 (b) a NABERS energy rating one star higher than the baseline NABERS energy rating for the building in relation to the measurement period worked out using equation 4; and
 (c) the other inputs to the calculator as recorded in, or derived from, the NABERS energy rating report for the building for the measurement period.
Note: An example of an input that is derived from the NABERS energy rating report is the share of energy consumption at the building by source (expressed as a percentage of all energy consumption) for the measurement period.
EFE means:
 (a) if the building is connected to an electricity grid that is a grid in relation to which the NGA Factors document, in force on the declaration day, includes an emissions factor—that factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour;
