Solar water heating systems (SWH): AMS-I.J

1. The project must involve the installation of solar water heating systems (SWH) in residential, commercial, or public buildings.

2. The SWH must replace an existing water heating system that uses non-renewable energy sources, such as electricity or fossil fuels.

3. The SWH must have a minimum collector area of 2 square meters per household or building unit.

4. The SWH must be designed and installed according to local standards and regulations.

5. The project must demonstrate additionality, meaning that the SWH would not have been installed without the incentive provided by the CDM.

6. The project must monitor and report on the energy output and emission reductions achieved by the SWH, using approved monitoring methodologies.

7. The emission reductions achieved by the project must be verified by an independent third-party auditor, using approved verification methodologies.

These requirements are designed to ensure that the SWH project is environmentally and socially sustainable, and that it achieves real and measurable emission reductions.
