Wesfarmers Energy Efficiency Commercial Appliance Project (Revoked)
ERF103373
Project Information:
Wesfarmers Energy Efficiency Commercial Appliance Project (Revoked) is an energy efficiency project located across nationwide commercial sites in Australia rather than a single geographical landmark. It was registered in April 2016 and covers an unknown area, as it was implemented across multiple retail and commercial facilities rather than a traditional land-based boundary.
High Efficiency Commercial Appliances projects involve reducing electricity consumption and emissions by replacing or installing high-efficiency equipment. Project activities specifically included installing close control air-conditioners, liquid-chilling packages, refrigerated display cabinets, and standard air-conditioners.
Because this project was implemented in the built environment, specifically Class 5, 6, and 7b buildings, traditional regional land use, typical rainfall classifications, and soil types (like basalt or clay) do not apply. The functional environment consists of nationwide commercial infrastructure requiring extensive climate control and refrigeration to operate retail stores and warehouses.
Interestingly, this initiative was conducted as a partnership with City Facilities Management, a major global HVAC and refrigeration maintenance provider for large grocery and retail chains. The project was ultimately discontinued and voluntarily revoked on March 21, 2018, under Section 30 of the CFI Rule, a clause that allows project proponents to voluntarily withdraw their eligible offset projects or vary their declarations.
