Implementing EE standards on equipment resulted in notable improvements for the affected products SMALL AC REFRIGERATORS https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQJAd0OFs3kKjAltBu_UAD_GRvNmtx0tWxKy__akHd8AlSt3SrRg Increased T1 EER 57% for split-type ACs and 36% for window-type from 2012 to 2018 32% 26% Only increased T3 EER for split-type ACs by 35% and for window types by 14% since 2012 due to ambient temperature limitations on usable gases Reduced the maximum allowed electricity consumption by 26-32% between 2007 and 2013 revisions 18
Improvements in T3 EER for small ACs were limited in comparison to T1 SMALL AC Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQJAd0OFs3kKjAltBu_UAD_GRvNmtx0tWxKy__akHd8AlSt3SrRg 11.8 12 11.5 11 10 9.5 9.8 9.8 9 8.3 8.28 8.5 8 7.5 7.5 Increased T1 EER 57% for split-type ACs and 36% for window-type from 2012 to 2018 7 6.84 7 7 6.12 6.12 6 6.12 5 4 2007 2012 2014 2018 Only increased T3 EER for split-type ACs by 35% and for window types by 14% since 2012 due to ambient temperature limitations on usable gases Split EER @ T1 Window EER @ T1 Split EER @ T3 Window EER @ T3 Any alternative gases considered should allow raising the T3 EER limitations 19
The implemented standards for AC also include large capacity ACs Electrically operated air conditioners Condensing units Chillers Scope VRF Absorption chillers Close control air conditioners and condensing units serving computer rooms Electrically operated air conditioners vary by type and capacity, EER from 9.7 to 12.5 Condensing units vary by type and capacity, EER from 10.5 to 13.5 Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS) Chillers vary by type and capacity, EER from 9.7 to 20.5 VRF vary by type and capacity, EER from 9.5 to 12.0 Absorption chillers vary by type and capacity, EER from 2.0 to 3.4 Close control air conditioners and condensing units serving computer rooms vary by type and capacity, COP from 1.70 to 2.70* (*) Note: EER=COP*3.41 20
The improved efficiency of the AC significantly contributes to lowering electricity consumption and demand BEFORE UPDATING STANDARD (2012) AFTER UPDATING STANDARD (2018) Inefficient AC units: - Quantity: 4 , EER: 7.5 - Capacity: 18,000 Btu/h - Electricity demand : 9.6 kW - Electricity consumption:25,920 kWh/year Efficient AC units: - Quantity: 4 , EER: 11.8 - Capacity: 18,000 Btu/h - Electricity demand: 6.1 kW - Electricity consumption:16,470 kWh/year 36% reduction in load/consumption due to standard update fuel used in Generation GHG emissions Note: 2,714 operating hours per year at full load equivalent assumed in the calculations 21
How High Ambient Temperature conditions affect the heat load and the system efficiency zone 1 represent 70-80% of total KSA population. (HAT) could reach around 50 C in summer, this will lead to: Up to 12 daily Operating hours for ACs. + 30% decrease in AC efficiency.

Saudi Arabia Climate Data by City 22
Going beyond equipment, SEEP has initiatives targeting energy efficient building design INSULATION MATERIALS SAUDI BUILDING CODE ENERGY USE INTENSITY (EUI) Introduced standards for 15 insulation types used in the Kingdom Updated the Saudi Building Code concerning energy efficiency in buildings (SBC-601) to mandate use of standard- compliant insulation Currently designing a program to rate buildings based on their EUI (energy consumption per square meter) - One aim of the program is to make energy efficient design more attractive to design offices Began enforcing insulation requirements on residential buildings in 2015 Also added requirements for ventilation and use of energy efficient equipment 23
To ensure the standards are properly followed, SEEC cooperates with relevant entities to enforce them ENFORCEMENT FOLLOWS THREE STAGES Monitoring and enforcement tours Announcement workshop Market Sampling 1 2 3 Within a year from the announcement of a standard, factory visits and customs ports monitoring for non-compliant products begin Announcement workshops are held for all standards with manufacturers, importers, laboratories Samples are purchased randomly from retailers across the kingdom The compliance statistics obtained from this plan serve to judge the effectiveness of the previous stages Dates and deadlines for the enforcement plan are declared Within the following year, visits for markets and warehouses to check efficiency labels begin Stages 2 and 3 are ongoing 24
The three stage enforcement process contributes to keeping the Saudi markets clean of low efficiency products ENFORCEMENT RESULTS SMALL AC INSULATION REFRIGERATORS https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQJAd0OFs3kKjAltBu_UAD_GRvNmtx0tWxKy__akHd8AlSt3SrRg Confiscated: ~960k Confiscated: ~78 tons Confiscated:184 Re-exported: ~352k Re-exported: 439 tons Re-exported: ~120k Recycled: ~338k Recycled: ~78 tons Recycled: 184 Refurbished: ~328k 25
SEECs efforts in energy efficiency helped slow the growth of electricity demand and consumption CAGR Before After ~5% 3.5% ~7% 3.7% 26
But these results can be severely impacted by changes to the allowed cooling gases If the alternatives proposed for the Montreal Protocol do not achieve the efficiency, safety, and the high ambient temperature requirements for KSA, we may lose the results of our efforts so far 27
