Certificate counts are computed from the model's registered performance data using the current regulated equations. A lodged claim depends on the specific installation, household size, and the scheme rules in force at creation. Energy savings % is against the AS/NZS 4234:2021 reference electric storage water heater for that zone and load size, calculated from the model's registered performance data, or taken directly from the register where it publishes a savings figure. VEU registers this data at the small load (the step-down load for a medium-rated system) and ESS at the medium load, so the two schemes' figures differ for the same zone.
The Panasonic HE-UM60CR is a split-system CO2 (R744) heat pump water heater paired here with the 400 L HE-TM400AHR glass-lined tank. The outdoor heat pump unit heats water circulated through a water loop to the tank rather than transferring refrigerant directly, and is rated at 5.06 kW heating output with 0.83 kW electric input at AS/NZS 5125 test condition 4, giving a COP of 6.11. The unit is rated to operate down to -10 degrees C outdoor ambient.
R744 is a natural refrigerant with a GWP of 1. The system delivers hot water at 63 degrees C, with no electric backup element referenced in the manual. The same tank is also registered under a vitreous-enamel AU-made variant (PHE-400AGR) against the same heat pump unit.
The same heat pump and tank combination is registered under the codes above. Certificate values are the same across those variants.
