22  Baseline energy consumption for an air conditioner (EB,i)
For equation 3, EB,i , for the ith air conditioner, is worked out using the equation (equation 6):
where:
CB,i is the baseline cooling energy consumption, in MWh, for the ith air conditioner, which is:
 (a) if the air conditioner can be used for cooling—calculated using equation 7; and
 (b) if the air conditioner can be used only for heating—zero.
HB,i is the baseline heating energy consumption, in MWh, for the ith air conditioner, which is:
 (a) if the air conditioner can be used for heating—calculated using equation 8; and
 (b) if the air conditioner can be used only for cooling—zero.
  23  Baseline cooling energy consumption for an air conditioner (CB,i)
For equation 6, CB,i, for the ith air conditioner, is worked out using the equation (equation 7):
where:
  PTCC,i is the total cooling capacity power, in kW, that is on the GEMS Register for the model of the ith air conditioner.
  AEERB,i is, for the model of the ith air conditioner, the baseline annual energy efficiency ratio specified for such a model in the efficiency factor document.
ti is the number of days in the reporting period for the ith air conditioner after it is commissioned.
  CFC,i is, for the model of the ith air conditioner, the cooling capacity factor for the appropriate climate zone specified in Schedule 1.
Note: The factor 0.9 is a factor that takes account of the fact that an air conditioner may be out of operation, or the use of the premises that it serves may be suspended, for reasons other than normal usage patterns during the reporting period.
  24  Baseline heating energy consumption for an air conditioner (HB,i)
For equation 6, HB,i, for the ith air conditioner, is worked out using the equation (equation 8):
where:
  PHC,i is the heating capacity power, in kW, that is on the GEMS Register for the model of the ith air conditioner.
  ACOPB,i is, for the model of the ith air conditioner, the baseline annual coefficient of performance for heating specified for such a model in the efficiency factor document.
ti is the number of days in the reporting period for the ith air conditioner after it is commissioned.
  CFH,i is, for the model of the ith air conditioner, the heating capacity factor for the appropriate climate zone specified in Schedule 1.
Note: The factor 0.9 is a factor that takes account of the fact that an air conditioner may be out of operation, or the use of the premises that it serves may be suspended, for reasons other than normal usage patterns during the reporting period.
