Is this possible, to use R417 A in replacement for the R22?
Does it comply with EAC4? I don't see it as a possible refrigerant in the list provided by LEED.
Thanks

My understanding is that R417A is a blend of refrigerants, and that it seems likely to be in the class of refrigerants that can be helpful for earning this credit.It's important to note that EAc4 does not specifically ban or allow any specific refrigerants. Credit compliance depends on a calculation. The list you're referring to seems like it may just be a reference list of common refrigerants that appears in the LEED Reference Guide.
