26  Calculation of annual energy consumption (AEC) and reference annual energy consumption (RAEC)
Note 1: Most calculations for the purposes of this section rely on calculation of the amount E24h (see section 14).
Note 2: For RDCs that are low sales volume and/or oversize, and for RSCs that are low sales volume, the calculations involve determination of various amounts on the basis of:
       the RDC or RSC with the actual components (the relevant components); and
       a hypothetical reference low‑efficiency version of the cabinet with a low‑efficiency reference set of components.
Note 3: In the case of low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs that are remote, the amounts are:
       the DEC (short for direct electrical energy consumption), which is a measure of the energy consumption of the electrical components of the RDC, and which excludes the energy consumption of the remote refrigeration system that runs the RDC (the REC); and
       the REC (short for refrigeration electrical energy consumption), which is a measure of the energy consumption of the refrigeration system that runs the RDC.
 The sum of the DEC and the REC is a measure of the total energy consumption (the TEC) of the RDC.
Note 4: In the case of low sales volume and/or oversize RDCs that are integral, or low sales volume RSCs (which, in order to be covered by this instrument, must be integral), only the amount TEC is determined (and not the separate amounts DEC and REC), and this amount is the total energy consumption of the RDC or RSC, including the integral refrigeration system.
