Should we include the manufacturers default information on refrigerant or should we use the actual refrigeration charged installed even though these are not installed and confirmed after installation?

You will want to use the actual intended refrigerant charge as shown on either mechanical schedules on drawings or on a project-specific submittal. General info from brochures or other material will not be sufficient.

Then this should be a construction credit, because this most of the time depends on the contractor. We as engineers specify the type of equipment and refrigerant but not the actual charge. We have submitted this credit previously with the manufacturer values and they have approved it but I guess it really depends on the reviewer.
