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?

I'm currently working on a LEED NC project on a central university library projects. While the HVAC centralized cooling unist comply with the requirement, a question has arisen about tenant equipment. On the first floor, there will be comercial spaces leased for supermarket and general retailers. The supermarket include high volume (both in power and refrigerant amount) of commercial refrigeration units. Should we include these, while the units are built and managed by the tenant?

Yes, I believe they would need to be included. If they are new, they should comply.
