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?

I have a school building with an old walk-in coolers/freezers used in the Kitchen. Those do have CFC refrigerant. Those type of equipment are only listed/noted in the EA-C5 and NOT in the EA-P3. Are we safe to exempt those equipment from compliance to EA-P3?

The content of CFC is more important than the unit / system contain CFC. If that unit contains no less than 0.5 pounds of regrigerant, it shall not be exempted unless it is under different management (e.g. manufacture). LEED EBOM allows up to 10% exemption if managemet / owner difference.
