The Philippines - Chiller Energy Efficiency Project
In regulated amounts, the sun's ultraviolet rays (UV rays) are beneficial, both for people and other
organisms on Earth. However, prolonged exposure to solar UV radiation puts us in danger— it can
cause skin cancer, severely affect our eyes (e.g., cataracts) and weaken our immune system.
Excessive UV radiation also threatens our food security as it can damage crops and marine
phytoplankton— tiny organisms that serve as the foundation of the oceanic food chain.
The Project helps us address
ozone depletion as well as
carbon emission that causes
global warming.
The Earth's ozone layer protects us and our food source from excessive exposure to solar
UV radiation and its harmful effects. However, ozone-depleting substances (ODS)
emitted by various sources such as refrigerants (i.e., chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, hydro-chlorofluorocarbons or HCFC5)1 usually used in air conditioning systems --like chillers-- destroy our
ozone layer, leaving us with gradually decreasing protection through time.
Old chillers also consume too much energy, which is usually generated by power plants that use
fossil fuel. Burning of fossil fuel causes emission of carbon, one of the greenhouse gases (GHG)
that cause global warming. By accelerating the phase out of these ODS-based and inefficient
chillers, use of ozone-damaging refrigerants is prevented and carbon emitted by power plants is
reduced as new chillers use less energy. Through the Philippines-Chiller Energy Efficiency Project,
we help protect the ozone layer, address climate change, and thus, protect ourselves.
The Philippines' Response
In 2011, the Philippine government, through a World Bank-managed
grant from the Global Environment Facility and Ozone Trust
Fund, began implementing the Philippines - Chiller Energy
Efficiency Project (PCEEP). The Project ends on January 1, 2017.
Implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources with the Environmental Management Bureau designated
as the Project Management Unit, PCEEP helps the Philippine
government meet two international commitments: the Montreal
Protoco12 that addresses ozone depletion and the Kyoto Protocol'
that tackles global warming.
PC E E P's
Main Objective
Reduce direct and
indirect GHG emission
and decrease the
consumption of ODS
through the accelerated
replacement of old
and inefficient chillers
in various industries.
Strategy
To accomplish its targets, PCEEP provides financial incentives equivalent to 15 percent subsidy of
chiller cost as well as technical assistance. PCEEP's main strategy is to make it easy for chiller
owners and operators to change their old chillers into new, efficient and non-ODS- based chillers.
PCEEP provides subsidies, financial/investment analysis, training and assists in the recovery of
refrigerant, destruction of old compressors and commissioning of new chillers.
Helping Save Energy, Too
Chiller owners, owing to a significant investment requirement, have not prioritized replacing
inefficient ODS-based chillers. It is estimated that air-conditioning accounts for about 40-50
percent of the energy consumed in offices and commercial buildings (such as shopping malls).
Through PCEEP, accelerating the replacement of old, inefficient and ODS-based chillers will result
in substantial savings in the cost of energy, which could be redirected for use of other consumers;
thus, easing the burden on the country's energy supply.
1. One of the elements that makeup CFCs and HCFCs is chlorine. When released, chlorine has the potential to destroy large amounts of ozone.

2. The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer was designed to reduce the production and consumption of ozone-depleting
substances to reduce their abundance in the atmosphere, and thereby protect the Earth's fragile ozone layer. The original Montreal Protocol was
agreed on 16 September 1987 and entered into force on 1 January 1989. (UNEP)
3. The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which commits its
Parties by setting internationally binding emission (of greenhouse gases) reduction targets. The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, japan, on 11
December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005. (UNFCCC)
Project Results
By the end of the Project, PCEEP shall have facilitated the replacement of 30,650 tons of
refrigeration (TR) that would lead to the reduction of:
• Ozone-depleting potential (ODP) of about 5.7 tons
• Approximately 62,400 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e); and
• Approximately 10 megawatt (MW) in energy demand
In addition, energy savings equivalent to about 29.7 gigawatt-hour (GWh) would be
realized through Project efforts.
