PH - Chiller Energy Efficiency Project

Closed

The objective of the Chiller Energy Efficiency Project in the Philippines is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by replacing inefficient chillers, including both old Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-based chillers and non-CFC-based chillers. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is investment to chiller replacement. This component will provide financial incentives (about 15 percent of the new chiller cost) to accelerate the replacement of inefficient chillers to non-CFC energy efficient ones, in advance of the natural attrition rate of the existing equipment. The second component of the project is measurement, monitoring and verification (MMV). As per the methodology approved by the Executive Board of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM EB), the program is required to measure and monitor data related to the power-output function of the inefficient chiller to be replaced, electrical consumption of the new chiller, and cooling output. It necessitates a database to be established to keep track of all the data generated from the individual replacement activities and to be used to generate the reports that would support the Certified Emission Reduction (CER) claims. The third component of the project is performance standards and technical assistance. The objectives of this component are to enhance the knowledge and build capacity of project participants (chiller owners, government regulators, chiller manufacturers/ suppliers/contractors), on the following: (a) significant rate-of-return on investment of chiller replacement and other potential low-cost and/or no-cost energy conservation measures in large buildings; (b) the total ban of CFC consumption by January 1, 2010; and (c) replacement and maintenance of new chillers to remove chiller owners' perceived technology risks. The fourth component of the project is project management. The procedures of project implementation, requisite institutional framework for implementation and monitoring of project activities, the formats for monitoring and reporting, and funds management and disbursements are delineated in a Project Implementation Plan (PIP) and an Operating Manual (OM). All financial data and disbursements under the Project will be managed by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through a database.
