Always use the actual value for the leakage rate of each piece of HVAC equipment in the project building that has more than 0.5 pounds of refrigerant. You can calculate the actual leakage rate values by tracking the amount of additional refrigerant that has been added during the maintenance activities throughout the performance period. Note that if the actual leakage rate of a piece of equipment is less than 0.5% (i.e. 0%), use the minimum default value of 0.5% in your leakage rate calculation instead of the actual leakage rate.
