16  Efficiency factor document
 (1) For this determination, a reference to the efficiency factor document is a reference to a document published by the Department on its website that is expressed to be the efficiency factor document for this determination.
 (2) The efficiency factor document must contain:
 (a) for liquid-chilling packages:
 (i) baseline efficiency integrated part load values for classes of products with the same condenser type and within the same cooling capacity range; and
 (ii) corresponding high efficiency thresholds; and
 (b) for air conditioners:
 (i) baseline annual energy efficiency ratios for cooling for classes of products of the same type and within the same cooling capacity range; and
 (ii) corresponding high efficiency thresholds for cooling; and
 (iii) baseline annual coefficients of performance for heating for classes of products of the same type and within the same heating capacity range; and
 (iv) corresponding high efficiency thresholds for heating; and
 (c) for close control air conditioners:
 (i) baseline sensible energy efficiency ratios for classes of products within the same net sensible cooling capacity range; and
 (ii) corresponding high efficiency thresholds; and
 (d) for refrigerated display cabinets:
 (i) baseline efficiency values for classes of products of the same cabinet type and M-package temperature class; and
 (ii) corresponding high efficiency thresholds.
Determining baseline factors and corresponding high efficiency thresholds
 (3) For paragraphs (2)(a), (b) and (c):
 (a) the baseline factor for a class of products is the average of the values of that factor for those products on the GEMS Register for which the data is publicly available; and
 (b) the corresponding high efficiency threshold for that class is the median of the values of that factor for those products with values of that factor that are higher than the baseline factor.
 (4) For paragraph (2)(d):
 (a) the baseline efficiency value for a class of products is the average of the efficiency values for those products on the GEMS Register for which the data required to calculate the efficiency value is publicly available; and
 (b) the corresponding high efficiency threshold for that class is the median of the efficiency values for those products with efficiency values that are lower than the baseline factor.
Note: The efficiency value of a refrigerated display cabinet is a parameter for which a lower number represents greater efficiency (see subsection 10(10)).
Applicable efficiency factor document for installed equipment
 (5) For a provision of this determination that relates to an installed equipment unit, the applicable efficiency factor document is the one in force at the time the installation was completed, unless subsection (6) applies.
 (6) If:
 (a) the applicable efficiency factor document that would apply in relation to the equipment unit under subsection (5) is a revised version that
