NC-2009 EAc4:Enhanced Refrigerant Management

Old refrigeration equipments in new construction.

Hi all, The project we are working on will have old refrigeration equipments moved from other place. Do we need to calculate these equipments since they are not new purchased and the refrigerant is 0.5~1.5 lb? If yes, should the Installation Date be New or Existing? Thanks for any suggestion.

James, you should include them. I would use the existing date for the installation date.
