Standard value Sample Clauses

Standard value. Calculating the statement based on standard values is used for smaller, standardised activities. Savings of this type will typically be found in housing. To the extent that a standard value exists for a given saving, this standard value must be used. If the standard value is zero, no energy saving can be included within that specific area, and no specific statement calculation method can be used. The catalogue of standard values is revised once a year with an eye to reflecting the technological development. Any changes become effective as of January 1st and are announced no later than October 1st of the preceding year. The changes only affect future efforts. 10.3.1 When calculating the statement based on standard values, the values from the standard values catalogue for energy savings should be used. The standard values catalogue is available from the Danish Energy Agency’s website [link]. 10.3.2 To the extent that a given saving falls within the scope of application of a standard value, this standard value should be used when calculating the saving, cf. the description of the scope of application in the standard values catalogue for the concrete standard value. 10.3.3 In order for a standard value to be used, the general prerequisites and limitations for the usage as described in the standard values catalogue should be fulfilled. It should be ensured that both the before situation and the after situation are in accordance with the prerequisites for the standard value, and this should be documented, cf. section 11.8.1. 10.3.4 Calculating the energy saving is done by means of a simple multiplication of the standard value with the number of units relevant to the concrete project – for example the number of insulated square metres. The current units for the initiative should be used. Rules of thumb, average values or values from handbooks cannot be used when establishing the number of units. 10.3.5 For the before situation, the specific conditions for the individual energy saving initiatives and facilities should be used when calculating the statement. Average values across several land registers or key figures for typical before situations cannot be used. 10.3.6 If there is indicated a prioritisation factor for the saving in the standard values catalogue, the indicated prioritisation factor should be used on the calculated saving. 10.3.7 The conversion factors that appear from appendix 2 have been included in the standard values. 10.3.8 If several different ...
