Wesfarmers Refrigeration and Ventilation Fan Project (Revoked)

Wesfarmers Refrigeration and Ventilation Fan Project (Revoked) is an energy efficiency project located across various Wesfarmers retail stores and warehouses nationwide, rather than a single geographic landmark. Because it involves commercial building upgrades spread across multiple indoor sites, specific mapping coordinates and a defined project area size in hectares are not applicable. It was registered in April 2016.

This project falls under the Carbon Credits (Carbon Farming Initiative-Refrigeration and Ventilation Fans) Methodology Determination 2015. Projects under this method aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by replacing, installing, or upgrading to high-efficiency fans in commercial refrigeration and ventilation systems. In this specific case, the project activities targeted freezer cabinets and refrigerated display cabinets to significantly reduce commercial energy consumption.

As a multi-site commercial initiative deployed indoors across urban and suburban centers throughout Australia, traditional regional land use and environmental metrics, such as typical rainfall classifications and soil types (e.g., basalt or clay), do not apply. The environment for this project consists entirely of the climate-controlled indoor spaces of the participating retail and commercial facilities.

Notably, this project was operated by Wesfarmers Limited in partnership with City Facilities Management (Aus) Pty Ltd, an organization that commonly provides facility management services for major Australian retail networks. The project was officially revoked on 21 March 2018 under section 30 of the Carbon Farming Initiative (CFI) Rule.
