T/CAEE 001-2023 Room air conditioner lifecycle carbon emissions evaluation methods and requirements

Scope

Scope: This document applies to the technical requirements for evaluating the carbon emissions of room air conditioners throughout their life cycle, including general principles, evaluation objectives and scope, data collection and data quality, quantitative calculation of carbon emissions, and evaluation report and application requirements, both internally within air conditioner manufacturing enterprises and publicly disclosed. This document is applicable to the evaluation of the carbon emissions throughout the life cycle of room air conditioners, including integrated air conditioners (window-type, wall-mounted, etc.), split air conditioners (wall-mounted, floor-standing, etc.), and multi-split air conditioners with a cooling capacity of up to 14,000W (calculated based on the outdoor unit's cooling capacity in the case of multi-split air conditioners), for use in residential and commercial environments. Main technical content: This standard includes scope, normative references, terms and definitions, general principles, evaluation requirements, data collection and data quality, quantitative calculation of carbon emissions, and evaluation report and application. Terms and definitions include functional units, evaluation units, primary data, and secondary data. General principles clarify the evaluation objectives and principles. Evaluation requirements include: 1) basic requirements; 2) evaluation elements; and 3) evaluation indicators. 1) Basic requirements stipulate that the room air conditioners covered by the standard must pass national mandatory product certification; 2) Evaluation elements include the division of functional units and evaluation units, and the determination of key stages of the life cycle; 3) Evaluation indicators include qualitative and quantitative indicators. Qualitative indicators include compliance with requirements for product management, product supply chain, product safety and performance, etc., which can be determined based on the cha
