Current through Register No. 25, June 20, 2024
Section Env-A 4708.07 - Calculating Emissions Reductions
(a) Emissions reductions shall be determined based upon annual energy savings by fuel type in MMBtu for each energy conservation measure, multiplied by the emissions factor and oxidation factor for the respective fuel type from Table 4708-1.
(b) Annual energy savings shall be determined as follows:
(1) "BEUAECM" means the annual pre-installation baseline energy use by fuel type in MMBtu, calculated pursuant to Env-A 4708.08;
(2) "PIEUECM" means the annual post-installation energy use by fuel type in MMBtu attributable to the energy conservation measure, determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Env-A 4708.08;
(3) "A" means adjustments to account for any differing conditions during the pre-installation and post-installation time periods, such as weather, building occupancy, and changes in building use or function, determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Env-A 4708.08; and
(4) Energy savings equals the product of the annual pre-installation baseline energy use by fuel type times the adjustments minus the product of the annual post-installation baseline energy use by fuel type times the adjustments, as shown in the following equation:

Energy Savings (MMBtu) = (BEUAECM x A) - (PIEUECM x A)

(c) Annual emissions reductions shall be determined as follows:
(1) "i" means the fuel type;
(2) "ESi"means energy savings for each fuel type in MMBtu, demonstrated pursuant to the requirements of Env-A 4708.08;
(3) EFi" means the emissions factor in lbs. CO2/MMBtu for each fuel type, from Table 4708-1;
(4) "OFi" means the oxidation factor for each fuel type, from Table 4708-1; and
(5) Emissions reductions shall be the sum, for all fuel types, of the product of the energy savings times the emissions factor times the oxidation factor, as shown in the following equation:

Emissions Reduction (lbs. CO2) = [SIGMA]n ESi x EFi x OFi

i = 1
