FAQs about EAc5 :

Are HCFC or HFC refrigerants considered CFC-based refrigerants?

The refrigerant type I need to enter is missing from the credit form. What should I do?

How can I determine the leakage rate of my equipment?

Should all commercial refrigerant equipment be accounted for, including both upright and under-counter? What about walk-in refrigerators? Ice makers?

I'm working on a renovation project and we'll be keeping some of the existing equipment. Should we include these systems in our calculations?

What is the required timeline for completing a CFC phase-out for this credit?

For a LEEDv4 CI project, does food service equipment such as ice cube machines, ice machines, and chiller freezers need to be documented?

After some research it seems there are currently no commercial ice-makers in the US that use refrigerants that have a GWP lower than 50. How can this credit be met if the office uses an ice-machine? Has anyone met this credit with an ice-maker?

The refrigerant calc is an aggregate calc of all refrigerant containing equipment serving the space. Some 'good' can offset some 'bad'.
