non‑monitored period has the meaning given by subsection 74(1).
population means a set of sites.
pre‑treatment period, in relation to a population, means a period, prior to the start of the first measurement period for the population, for which there is data about measured energy consumption for the sites in the population.
random selection method means a selection method under which each site in a population has the same chance as any other site in the population of being selected for the treatment group or control group (or neither) in the population, and includes a restricted random selection method.
Note: An example of a restricted random selection method is a method where a population is first stratified according to a variable that influences energy consumption.
relevant pre‑treatment period, in relation to a population, means:
 (a) in relation to a measurement period of 1 year—the pre‑treatment period chosen under subsection 18(2) for the population; and
 (b) if the last measurement period for the population in the crediting period for the project will be longer than 1 year—the pre‑treatment period the project proponent for the project chose or otherwise used for the population under subsection 18(4) or (5).
site means a premises:
 (a) that is located in Australia; and
 (b) that is occupied by a small energy user; and

small energy user means:
 (a) a household; or
 (b) a small business; or
 (c) any other energy user with annual energy consumption that is similar to a household or small business.
sub‑method means one of the following:
 (a) sub‑method 1 set out in Division 4 of Part 4;
 (b) sub‑method 2 set out in Division 5 of Part 4;
 (c) sub‑method 3 set out in Division 6 of Part 4.
subsequent selection has the meaning given by subsection 15(2).
treatment has the meaning given by section 7.
treatment group means the group of sites in a population to which treatment may be targeted.
Note: If a site is selected for the treatment group, the site must be included in the treatment group for the purposes of Part 4 (unless this determination specifies otherwise) regardless of whether treatment was actually targeted at the site: see subsection 15(4) and subparagraph 34(1)(b)(i).
