34  General requirements

Using things chosen or selected
 (1) For the purposes of this Part, the project proponent for the project:
 (a) may choose not to calculate abatement for a population in the project for a measurement period in the reporting period; and
 (b) for each population for which abatement is calculated for a measurement period in the reporting period—must use the following things chosen or selected:
 (i) all of the sites selected for the control group or treatment group in a population under section 15, unless this determination specifies otherwise;
 (ii) the first measurement period and the pre‑treatment periods chosen under sections 17 and 18;
 (iii) the sub‑method chosen for each population under paragraph 19(a);
 (iv) if sub‑method 3 was chosen for a population—the explanatory variables (if any) chosen under paragraph 19(b) for the population;
 (v) data about energy consumption from the source or sources chosen under section 20.

Pro‑rataing data for a whole measurement period
 (2) If:
 (a) there is available data about energy consumption at a site in a population in the project for time periods; and
 (b) the time periods do not start and end on the same days as a measurement period in the reporting period starts and ends; and
 (c) together the time periods cover the measurement period;
the project proponent for the project may, for the purposes of this Part, pro‑rata the data for a time period based on the number of days in the time period that are days in the measurement period.
Example: A measurement period in relation to a site starts on 1 July 2015 and ends on 30 June 2016. There is data about energy consumption at the site for the time period starting on 1 June 2015 and ending on 31 December 2015, and for the time period starting on 1 January 2016 and ending on 30 November 2016. The data for the first time period can be pro‑rated to work out the energy consumption for 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015, and the data for the second time period can be pro‑rated to work out the energy consumption for 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016.

Pro‑rataing data for part of a measurement period
 (3) If:
 (a) for the purposes of this Part, data about measured energy consumption at a site in a population in the project will be used for only part of a measurement period in the reporting period (the partial measurement period); and
 (b) there is available data about energy consumption at the site for time periods; and
 (c) the time periods do not start and end on the same days as the partial measurement period starts and ends; and
 (d) together the
