This article should help orient a factory for how to report on the impact data in this section. It would include info about what kinds of documentation would be expected.
Reporting Refrigerant Data
Before reporting refrigerant data, data quality checks should be performed to ensure that the data AND the processes used to collect and record the data are effective at producing accurate energy data.
Do:
- Review source data (e.g., equipment maintenance records, servicing logs, refrigerant purchase invoices, etc.) against aggregated totals to ensure it is accurate.
- Ensure the most recent and updated versions of data tracking spreadsheets are being used and that all automated calculations/formulas are correct.
- Ensure the proper units are reported and verify any unit conversions from source data to reported data.
- Review any assumption or estimation methodology/calculations to ensure accuracy.
- Report the proper tracking method i (e.g., measured, leakage rate, estimate)
Do Not:
- Report data that is not accurate (e.g., the data source is unknown or has not been verified).
- Report estimated data if it is not supported by verifiable and reasonably accurate estimation methodology and data (e.g., leakage rate or other engineering calculations).
