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?

NC-2009 EAc4:Enhanced Refrigerant Management

GE Profile 21.7 &15.5 Cu. Ft. Top-Freezer Refrigerators

We've tried and cannot get any info from GE other than they use R-134A refrigerant. Can anyone tell me from the valumes of these refrigerators normally for residential use that they might use less than 1/2 lb of refrigerant? Thanks.

Hi Waylon. Don't worry about those refrigerators. The credit language excludes "standard refrigerators" (residential type) regardless of exactly how much refrigerant they contain.
