FAQs about EAp3 :

If a project’s base-building systems do use CFCs, and an economic analysis is required, is it necessary to analyze both the conversion AND replacement of those building systems?

The LEED Reference Guide states that if CFCs are maintained in the building, the project building must reduce annual leakage to 5% or less, and total leakage over the remaining life to less than 30%. However, the EAp3 credit form does not request informat

Do small appliances (such as refrigerators and water coolers) that have greater than 0.5 pounds of refrigerant have to be included in order to achieve EAp3?

Tenant owned chiller with R-11?

I am working with a large building in New York. This building has a tenant that has their own chiller that utilizes R-11 refrigerant. Since the property team has no control over the tenants chiller, and therefore cannot conduct studies, implement refrigerant plans, etc., can we exempt the tenant's equipment, or would this still have to fall under the 10% multi-tenant exemption rule? Has anyone run into similar situations?

That's a tricky one. It's tough to say whether the chiller in question would be considered base-building equipment or not. Typically, the prerequisite should address all refrigerants in the building, but if you have a non-cooperative tenant who is unwilling to participate in this process, you may be able to speak to GBCI to arrange some alternative compliance path.
