Energy efficiency measures at Mindspace, Hyderabad, Building no. 12A, 12B, 12C& 20 of Sundew Properties Ltd.

Audit Analysis

A CDM energy-efficiency project (high-efficiency pumps) at a commercial building in Hyderabad with a confirmed investment-test additionality and a reasonable 0% leakage assumption. However, the validation report surfaced multiple PDD inconsistencies—including grid emission-factor calculation errors and methodological inconsistencies flagged by the CDM Secretariat—and two corrective actions remained open at the time of the report. The absence of any monitoring-period data, usage-tracking method, or post-validation verification limits confidence in the 41,000 tCO₂e claim.

Project Description

Red Flags

• ⚠Two corrective actions were still open at validation: the project proponent was required to substantiate the grid emission-factor approach per Tool v5.0 and to align methodological choices between PDD sections B.6.1 and B.6.3.
• ⚠The CDM Secretariat independently noted an inconsistency in the grid emission-factor calculation regarding technical grid losses, suggesting the baseline may have been overstated.
• ⚠No monitoring-period data, usage-monitoring method, or verified usage rate was found in any available document, leaving the 41,000 tCO₂e figure unverified against actual performance.
• ⚠Low extraction confidence indicates at least one key document was poorly readable, reducing reliability of the extracted record.
