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?

NC-2009 EAc4:Enhanced Refrigerant Management

Nee of a fire suppression system

Hi all, Currently we are working on a project which does not have a fire suppression system, but is trying to achieve "Enhanced refrigerant management" credit in LEED NC 2009. In the LEED online form for this credit there is a option to mark "Fire suppression systems in the project do not use ozone-depleting substances (CFCs, HCFCs, or halons)." As the project does not have a fire suppression system we kept this field unmarked, but then the LEED online form shows incomplete. Does this mean that a project must have a fire suppression system to earn this credit? Thank you

Magda, just tick this box and in "additional details" - "special circumstances" just write that there is no fire supression system. the intent of the credit is not to use CFC, HCFCs and halons, so if you don't have fire supression system at all you meet the intent of the credit. In the reference guide it states"do not operate OR INSTALL fire supression system that contain ozone-depleting substances(...)". regards,
