NC-v4 EAp4:Fundamental refrigerant management

DES Owned by A Third Party

Hello -

We have a project pursuing certification that is served by a DES owned by a hospital in a downtown metro area.  Our building is post-secondary.  Do the DES refrigerant requirements apply in this instance since we do not have control over nor ability to agree to a 5-year CFC phase out plan?

Thank you very much -

Candice

The 'economically infeasible' path was removed and v4 requires a phase out within 5 years of substantial completion of the project. I am not aware of a "project team does not have control over decisions made at the DES level" path through this prereq.

@Dave, Thank you.  You hit on the nature of my question exactly.  Perhaps this is just as simple as a purchased utility.  Hospital DES is the utility provider and our project is the service address.  I think a CIR along with an example utility bill is needed to obtain a final ruling on this.  Thank you!
