FAQs about EAc4 :

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?

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?

CS-2009 EAc4:Enhanced Refrigerant Management

Sample Form Problem

Applying values to "Refrigerant Impact Calculaton" chart, we have final impact per tone equal to 100 for each device. "average refrigerant impact per ton (must be less than or equal to 100)" is 100. Even than we can get 2 points in summary (all other areas are correct and checked). DId some of you had such a problem? Should we describe it in "special circumstances" of sample form? Thanks.

BH, I would try upgrading to the most recent v4 form.Also, are you using the actual LEED Online form for documentation, or the sample form? The sample form is just for informational purposes.

Hi BH I just ran in to the same problem I think. Although everything is filled out correctly in the version 4 form and the value is well under 100 the number of credits earned still remains zero. I have done this credit before and I'm confident nothing is missing. So as Tristan says above I am going to try the feedback form online and see if there is a better version of it. Maria

Make sure that under credit information, you have checked the number of points you're trying to earn (assuming that option is available on this credit.)

No sorry, it's a 2 or nothing credit. Nothing to check.

Alright, well it was worth a shot. You should submit feedback. In addition I would call GBCI and have them open the form to see if they can reproduce the issue. It's nice to know that it's not just your machine. They will also document the interaction which is helpful when you get a response to your feedback message.Good luck!
