13 3.2 Appication of Methodoogy Tite and Reference PP has utiized a Approved Sma Scae monitoring Methodoogy to deveop this VCS project. As VCS Aows utiization of approved methodoogies from it is in accordance with Verified Carbon Standard, Version 3 Para 3.1.5, under section 3 Project Requirements. An appied Approved methodoogy utiized by the PP is methodoogy AMS-II.C (Version 13): Demand-side energy efficiency activities for specific technoogies Appicabiity The appicabiity of the chosen baseine methodoogy has been adequatey addressed in the Project description. The appicabiity conditions of AMS-II. C (Version 13) are satisfied as given beow. A. Appicabiity Conditions of AMS II.C (Version 13) Appicabiity Condition No 1: The project is encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient equipment / appiances (e.g amps, baasts, refrigerators, motors, fans, air conditioners, pumping systems) at many sites. These technoogies may repace existing equipment or be instaed at new sites. In the case of new faciities, the determination of baseine scenario sha be as per the procedures described in the genera guidance to SSC methodoogies under the section Type II and III Greenfied project (new faciities). The aggregate energy savings by as singe project may not exceed the equivaent to 60GWh per year for eectrica end use energy efficiency technoogies. For Fossi fue end use energy efficiency technoogies, the imit is 180GWh therma per year in fue input. The project invoves suppy and instaation of energy efficient LED uminaires as a repacement to existing uminaires in common areas of severa existing HDB bocks in Jurong Town, Singapore. It therefore contributes in reducing eectricity consumption for ighting in common areas in HDB Bocks compared to what woud have been consumed in the baseine scenario. The eectricity savings from the project activity is ~5 GWh per annum (refer to section 3.4, baseine eectricity consumption = MWh and project eectricity consumption = MWh) which is within the aggregate imit of 60 GWh provided under the methodoogy. This is confirmed by using the Baseine Luminary detais and Project Luminary Detais, PP has provided a transparent cacuation in Appendix 1 of PD to show each how each HDB bock participating in the Project activity achieves the Saving and it is within 60 GWh. Appicabiity Condition No 2: For each repaced appiance / equipment / system the rated capacity or output or eve of services (e.g igh output, water output, room temperature and comfort, the rated output capacity of airconditioners etc.) is no significanty smaer (maximum 10%0 than the baseine or significanty arger (maximum + 50%) than the baseines. v3.1 13

14 The ux output of the LEDs is not significanty smaer (maximum - 10%) or significanty arger (maximum + 50%) than the baseine uminaires. In order to justify compiance with this appicabiity condition, ux sampes were coected for different types of baseine uminaires instaed in different ocations (corridor, staircases, void decks) in HDB bocks before dismanting them. Simiary, ux data was aso coected for LED uminaires for the same ocation (at which baseine ux was recorded) after the instaation of LEDs. The two sets of ux data was compared to concude that it is within the -10% to +50% range as provided under the methodoogy. Vaidation team has verified the Lux Measurement data obtained through a campaign which invove measurement before repacement and measurement after repacement. This Measurement was carried out for the samped HDB bocks, totay 100 bocks were samped. The Samping methodoogy is ceary mentioned in the PD. From the Lux measurement data it is confirmed that the project activity meets this appicabiity condition. Appicabiity Condition No 3: If the energy efficient equipment contains refrigerants, then the refrigerant used in the project case sha be CFC free. Project emission from the baseine refrigerant and / or project refrigerants sha be considered in accordance with the guidance of the Board (EB34, paragraph 17). This methodoogy credits emission reductions ony due to the reduction in eectricity consumption from use of more efficient equipment / appiance. Not Appicabe due to LED do not consists any refrigerant Project Boundary The project boundary is the 588 HDB bocks ocated within 5 zones of Jurong Town Counci. Bukit Batok N E Bukit Batok East N E Jurong Centra N E Taman Jurong N E Yuhua N E The main source of GHG from this project wi be CO2 from the eectricity energy consumption drawn from Singapore nationa grid. The Vaidation Team vaidated the project boundary by: a) Site visit on 11/08/2012 to assess the physica instaation of LED uminaires was done at the above mentioned 5 zones in Jurong Town Counci, Singapore. During Site visit Vaidation Team Verified 20 Bocks in various Divisions to confirm that repacement is competed and is in accordance with the Description provided in the PD. The project boundary incudes the LED uminaires and Energy Monitoring and Contro System instaed at each HDB bock. The List of project equipment s seen at the time of Site visit is given as beow - LED Luminaries instaed at various common areas of HDB Bocks v3.1 14

15 - Pane Room - Energy Meters (in Samped Bocks) - Timer Switch b) Foowing documentation reated to the project have been verified to confirm the boundary: 1. Contract Document JRTC-LED SS Darted 16/10/2009 between Jurong Town Counci to UGL Services Premas Operations Limited for the repacement of LED uminaires in Listed HDB Bocks of Five Divisions. 2. Fina Handing Over Document and Certificate of competion Dated 29/03/2011 towards repacement of existing uminaires with LED uminaires in common areas of residentia buidings at Jurong Town Councia Based on the above assessment, the Vaidation Team hereby confirms that the identified boundary and the seected sources and gases are justified for the project activity Baseine Scenario The PP has defined the baseine as according to the methodoogy AMS II.C (Version 13). Based on the PD section 2.4 description of baseine identification, PP has identified the baseine scenario is to continuation of current situation i.e HDB bocks participating in the project wi continue to use the baseine uminaires in their common areas thus resuting in higher eectricity consumption compared to what wi be consumed in the project scenario. Hence, the baseine scenario identified found in ine with the requirement of approved methodoogy requirement. Since the baseine is energy dispaced eectricity, PP has demonstrated the cacuation of baseine eectricity consumption by mutipying number of uminaires repaces (ni) x power (watts) (pi) x annua operating hours and average annua technica grid osses (y) in baseine scenario which is further mutipied by the combined margin emission factor to arrive at baseine emissions. PP has estabished baseine Emissions using Number of uminaries repaced, for which the project energy efficient uminaries are operating during the year and Power of the Baseine uminaries.detaied documents on baseine uminaries with specific anaysis on number of uminaires repaced in each zone in the common areas, power watt, annua operating running hours and average annua technica grid oss are made avaiabe for the vaidation purpose. Based on these documents Vaidation Team confirms that baseine uminaire s eectricity consumption and the reevant parameters are transparenty cacuated and presented by PP. The Vaidation team is of the opinion that the baseine determination is correct and appropriate in accordance with appied baseine and monitoring methodoogies i.e. AMS. II.C, Version 13. Vaidation team therefore confirms that the seected baseine scenario reasonaby represents the scenario in the absence of the project activity. It was aso confirmed by the vaidation team that there were no nationa or sectora poicies were prevaiing at the time of the project participants decision to impement the said project activity i.e. there was no mandate for impementing repacement of existing uminaires with LED uminaires in common area of residentia buidings. The project activity, thus was the vountary decision of the project participant. v3.1 15

In accordance with Para 3 of EB 68 ex 26, the energy efficiency project activity is considered as additiona if project activity fufis both beow conditions, 1) Each of the independent subsystem/measure in the project achieves an estimated annua energy savings of equa to smaer than 600 megawatt hours; and 2) End users of the subsystem or measure are househods/communities/sme. Whie Verifying the submitted PD, Vaidation team found that it was not cear how PP has caimed that condition 1 i.e. each independent subsystem / measure in the project achieves estimated annua energy savings of ess than 600 MWh. Hence Vaidation team has raised CL 01. In response to the CL1 PP has presented detaied cacuation in the PD Version 2 Dated 28/08/2012 transparenty. As per the cacuation provided in the revised PD Appendix 1, it is confirmed that independent subsystem / measure in the project activity is one residentia bock. As per the cacuation it is observed that the eectricity saving in each bock is in the range of 0.24 MWh / um to MWh/um. Vaidation team performed an independent cacuation based on the data verified during site visit and found that on an average the energy efficiency per bock (division wise) is in the range of 7.51 MWh to 10. MWh per annum..

17 From the above cacuation and site vaidation team herewith confirms that, VALIDATION REPORT: VCS Version 3 (a) ua energy savings expected from the project are ~5 GWh per annum. 588 HDB Bocks are participating in the project. Therefore the energy saving per HDB Bock (i.e. an independent subsystem/measure) is we within the cap of 600 MWh provided under the guideine. (b) The project activity invoves repacement of baseine uminaries in common areas HDB Bocks meant for residentia purpose with more efficient LED uminaries for identified HDB bock of Jurong Town in Singapore hence 2 nd condition of EB 68 ex 26 is aso fufis. Vaidation Team hereby confirms that Project activity satisfactoriy fufis both condition as prescribed under Para 3 of EB 68 ex 26 and hence considered as additiona under micro scae additionaity requirement of Quantification of GHG Emission Reductions and Removas PP has used the agorithm and formuae in ine with the AMS II.C Version 13 and corresponding toos to cacuate emission factor stated in AMS I.D. (EB63 ex 19 methodoogica Too Too to cacuate the emission factor for an eectricity system version The project activity wi gather data from: 1. Number of LED umianire repaced (ni) 2. Power of the LED uminaires in terms of watt 3. ua average operating hours (Oi) hours 4. Average annua technica grid osses (y) Data wi then computed from the eectronic data management system to get the vaue of tota eectricity consumption in the baseine scenario (MWh). Since the baseine is energy dispaced eectricity, PP has the cacuated the baseine eectricity consumption by mutipying number of uminaires repaces (ni) x power (watts) (pi) x annua operating hours and average annua technica grid osses (y) in baseine scenario which is further mutipied by the combined margin emission factor to arrive at baseine emissions. The assumptions used for cacuating baseine emissions are presented by PP in transparent eectronic data form (output of monitoring eectronic data management system), hence, the baseine emission cacuated by PP was found satisfactory.

20 The vaidation team found the cacuation is in ine with the approved methodoogy for the cacuation of emission reduction. Grid Emission factor: Grid emission factor is pubished by Singapore DNA which is Nationa Environmenta Agency on 25 Feb 2011 based on 3 years data 2007, 2008 and Whie verifying the submitted PD Version 1 Dated 12/07/2012, it was observed that PP has utiized grid Emission factor for year 2011 i.e tco 2 /MWh, however the project was started in year 2010 and hence the CAR 3 was raised. In response to the CAR3 PP revised the emission factor to 2010 i.e tco 2 /MWh. Baseine emissions, project emission and emission reduction cacuations are corrected appying revised grid emission factor and hence the CAR 3 was cosed. PP decided to use the Ex ante option which compies with the Too to cacuate the emission factor for an eectricity system (version )(Ref-XX). A 3-year generation weighted average has been derived for the years, 2007, 2008 and The buid and operating margins of the grid are considered as a product of the weighted average for each margin and summed to give the fina vaue of the emission factor (EF grid,cm,y ) and expressed in kiogramsco 2 per kwh as foows: EF grid,cm,y = EF grid,om,y x W OM + EF grid, BM,y X W BM EF grid,bm,y = Buid margin CO2 emission factor in year y (tco 2 /MWh) EF grid,om,y = Operating margin CO2 emission factor in yeary y (tco 2 /MWh) W OM = Weighting of operating margin emission factor (%) W BM = Weighting of buid margin emission factor (%) Then the emission reduction wi be cacuated by energy saved per month x EF grid,cm,y where EF grid,cm,y = tco2/mwh Hence the annua MWh energy saving x tco 2 /MWh = tonco2e per annum. DOE has vaidated the emission factor pubished by NEA on 25 Feb 2011 and it is accordance to the too to cacuate the emission factor for an eectricity system. Based on the above assessment, the Vaidation Team hereby confirms that: (a) A assumptions and data used by the project participants are isted in the PD, incuding their references and sources; (b) A documentation used by project participants as the basis for assumptions and source of data is correcty quoted and interpreted in the PD; (c) A vaues used in the PD are considered reasonabe in the context of the proposed project activity; (d) The baseine methodoogy has been appied correcty to cacuate project emissions, baseine emissions, eakage and emission reductions; v3.1 20

Monitoring pan compies with the requirements of the methodoogy AMS II.C Version 13 which is a approved methodoogy. The Vaidation Team considers the monitoring pan to be compying with the requirements of the methodoogy. The reasons are as given beow PP has described the monitored pan wi monitor the foow data: 1 The monitoring pan has covered the baseine uminaires and LED operation hour Operation hours are controed using the Timers at each HDB Bock. An operation time schedue for different months are fixed and is found dispayed at each HDB Bock in Pane Room. The Schedue is as given beow Months Time for Switch On in the Evening Time for Switch Off in the Morning January to March 19:00 07:15 Apri to August 19:00 07:00 September to December 18:45 07:00 2. Sampe size is determined according to Best Practice Exampes Focusing on Sampe Size and Reiabiity Cacuations (ex 6, EB meeting 67). Vaue appied is 100 HDB bocks out of the tota 588 bocks wi be monitored. Monitoring Processes: At the end of each month, the project proponent wi review the timers instaed in the project sampe group and verify whether the inbuit programme is correcty cocking 12 hours a day of operation or whether the programme is corrupt and cocking any different number of hours per day. Data on number of hours cocked per day wi be recorded for each timer in the sampe group and based on such data, the mean daiy operating hour cocked and the standard deviation of the mean wi be cacuated. It is most ikey that the standard deviation wi be cacuated as zero and mean hours wi be cacuated as 12 hours a day, uness in the case of any timer(s) whose programming is corrupted and was cocking different number of hours a day during the previous month. If during the monthy review any timer is found fauty, it wi be immediatey repaced with a new timer. v3.1 22
