Energy Efficiency Measures at MindSpace Building No 11 at Hyderabad

Audit Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project in a Hyderabad office building using the standardized AMS II.E methodology, with additionality confirmed via an investment test and a reasonable 0% leakage deduction. However, the project-specific modeled baseline, absence of a buffer pool, a ten-fold discrepancy in reported emission reduction figures between documents, and low extraction confidence across the record limit confidence in the data. Multiple PDD quality issues were flagged at validation but subsequently resolved.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Ten-fold discrepancy in total emission reduction figures: the validation report states 97,140 tCO2e while an appendix states 9,714 tCO2e, raising questions about data reliability
• ⚠Baseline method contradiction: the validation report describes a project-specific baseline while an appendix references a jurisdictional baseline, creating ambiguity about the actual baseline approach
• ⚠Low extraction confidence across the document set, with at least one document of unknown type, limiting the reliability of the extracted record
• ⚠Eleven corrective action requests were raised at validation concerning PDD quality, including use of an expired template, missing project diagrams, and inconsistencies in emission factor calculations
