FAQs about EAp3 :

If a project’s base-building systems do use CFCs, and an economic analysis is required, is it necessary to analyze both the conversion AND replacement of those building systems?

The LEED Reference Guide states that if CFCs are maintained in the building, the project building must reduce annual leakage to 5% or less, and total leakage over the remaining life to less than 30%. However, the EAp3 credit form does not request informat

Do small appliances (such as refrigerators and water coolers) that have greater than 0.5 pounds of refrigerant have to be included in order to achieve EAp3?

Does the 10% exclusion rule apply to this credit? We have a multi-tenant high rise without CFCs, but one restaurant (5% of floor spce) does have an isolated CFC-based system (yes, greater than 0.5 pounds of refrigerant). Can we simply exclude this area, or must we perform the economic analysis?

If the restaurant is under separate management control than the rest of the building and the equipment in question is used only for the restaurant, then, yes, it could be excluded from EAp3. Make sure you note this in Table PIf3-1 on Project Information Form for PIf3.
