24  Project emissions for a building in a measurement period
 (1) The project emissions for a building in a measurement period in the reporting period are worked out using the formula (equation 5):
where:
EP means the project emissions for the building in the measurement period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
j means a type of greenhouse gas emitted at the building in the measurement period due to fuel combustion.
i means a type of fuel consumed at the building in the measurement period.
QF,i means the consumption of fuel type i at the building in the measurement period, converted to gigajoules, as recorded in the NABERS energy rating report for the building 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 means the consumption of electricity at the building in the measurement period, in kilowatt hours, as recorded in the NABERS energy rating report for the building 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; or
 (b) if the building is not connected to an electricity grid mentioned in paragraph (a)—the emissions factor, in kilograms CO2‑e per kilowatt hour, for off‑grid electricity included in the NGA Factors document in force on the declaration day.
ERen means the emissions of greenhouse gas that would have occurred at the building in the measurement period if renewable electricity generated and consumed onsite had instead been purchased from the electricity grid, worked out using equation 6.
 (2) If the unit of measurement for fuel type i needs to be converted, the energy content factor for the fuel type specified in Schedule 1 to the NGER (Measurement) Determination must be used.
