Hallo, After reading "further explanation" section of the Reference Guide (page 201) we are wondering how calculations should be made for a district plant where the commercial interior is served by an air-cooled chiller which also serves other spaces of the building. Should we enter the full capacity of the chiller (TR) and the all the refrigerant charge, or just the cooling capacity of the AHU that servers our space?

Gustavo, Based on the language of the reference guide, my assumption is that you would need to use a weighted average method based on the capacity of the AHU that serves your space and not the entire capacity of the chiller. However, you would need the refrigerant impact score of the entire chiller in order to complete the calculations. Hope that makes sense.
