How can I determine the leakage rate of my equipment?
What is the required timeline for completing a CFC phase-out for this credit?
The refrigerant type I need to enter is missing from the credit form. What should I do?
Are HCFC or HFC refrigerants considered CFC-based refrigerants?

After some research it seems there are currently no commercial ice-makers in the US that use refrigerants that have a GWP lower than 50. How can this credit be met if the office uses an ice-machine? Has anyone met this credit with an ice-maker?

The refrigerant calc is an aggregate calc of all refrigerant containing equipment serving the space. Some 'good' can offset some 'bad'.
