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?

If I only use HVAC units totally 0.5 lbs of refrigerant on the project, do I qualify for the 2 points in this credit? If I only use many HVAC units with 0.5 lbs of refrigerant per unit, do I still qualify for the 2 points in this credit?

Yes. If you can avoid refrigerants you would be eligible. Similarly, if all your refrigerants were in equipment with a charge of 0.5 lbs or less, you would be eligible.
