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

Using LEEDv2009 form to insert 'other' refrigerant for LEEDv4 project

The refrigerant used on my project is not listed in the LEEDv4 form and as recommended on the FAQ section for this credit I am using the LEEDv2009 form to document compliance.

When I select the 'Other (specify)' option under Refrigerant, the words disappear but I am able to enter the GWP and ODP. Since the refrigerant field is empty the form displays that it is Incomplete. I tried typing out the refrigerant name into the field but does not allow it.

Is there any workaround available for this? Can I leave it blank?
