21  Baseline emissions for a building
 (1) The baseline emissions for a building, in relation to a measurement period in the reporting period, are worked out using the formula (equation 3):
where:
EB means the baseline emissions for the building in relation to the measurement period, in tonnes CO2‑e.
i means a type of fuel consumed at the building in the measurement period.
j means a type of greenhouse gas emitted at the building in the measurement period due to fuel combustion.QF,RB,i means the consumption of fuel type i at the building that would have occurred in the measurement period if the project had not occurred, converted to gigajoules, worked out using:
 (a) the relevant NABERS energy reverse calculator for the building; and
 (b) the baseline NABERS energy rating for the building in relation to the measurement period worked out using equation 4; and
 (c) the other inputs to the calculator as recorded in, or derived from, the NABERS energy rating report for the building for the measurement period.
Note: An example of an input that is derived from the NABERS energy rating report is the share of energy consumption at the building by source (expressed as a percentage of all energy consumption) 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,RB means the consumption of electricity at the building that would have occurred in the measurement period if the project had not occurred, in kilowatt hours, worked out using:
 (a) the relevant NABERS energy reverse calculator for the building; and
 (b) the baseline NABERS energy rating for the building in relation to the measurement period worked out using equation 4; and
 (c) the other inputs to the calculator as recorded in, or derived from, the NABERS energy rating report for the building for the measurement period.
Note: An example of an input that is derived from the NABERS energy rating report is the share of energy consumption at the building by source (expressed as a percentage of all energy consumption) 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.
 (2) If the
