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?

I just went through calculating walk-in Cooler and Freezer condensers for our school kitchen. I found that the 1 and 2 ton units with R404A refridgerant that we typically specify are charged with 9lbs and 20lbs. This is quite a bit off from 2lb-4lb max. Anyone find an attractive alternative for walk-ins to meet this credit?

I don't understand the question—what maximum level are you referring to?
