FAQs about EAc4 :

We plan on pursuing this credit only if we need to do so to meet our certification target, i.e. if another credit we are counting on gets rejected. How late can we apply for this credit?

I'm working on a renovation project and we'll be keeping some of the existing equipment. Shoud we include these systems in our calculations?

Which portions of a VRF/VRV system should be considered for this credit?


For a split system, does the cooling capacity refer to the cooling power of the interior device (evaporator) or of the outdoor unit (condenser)?

What is the required timeline for completing a CFC phase-out for EAc4?

How can I document a longer equipment life (20 or 30 years) than what is listed in the LEED Reference Guide?

Do the requirements apply to portable fire extinguishers or only permanently installed building-wide fire suppression systems?

CS-2009 EAc4:Enhanced Refrigerant Management

Additional "reserve" refrigerant box

Dear all, The project we're working on will be cooled with centrifugal chillers. The Mechanical Engineer is suggesting installing a "Reserve refrigerant box", which is a cylinder containing the same refrigerant as the one of the chillers. This box is piped to the chillers, and will serve as an "replenishment supply" in case there is any leakage from the chillers. Our query is: Do you think we should include this additional "reserve" refrigerants in this credit calculations? Many Thanks..

Omar, I think it fits with the credit intent to include this refrigerant.
