FAQs about EAc6 :

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?

Hi Nagaraj, Your project is elegible for "Option 1 - No refrigerants" to earn 2 points. If your project is likely to have any tenants in the future you must ensure that the credit requirements will be enforced through a legally binding TSLA.

Hi Gusavo, "It appears from the mechanical schedules within PI Project Information that no cooling systems have been installed within the building. All cooling towers within the building only serve diesel generators. Since there are no cooling systems, this credit is not applicable for the project. Hence, the credit is denied."  The above comment where received in our final submission an one of our projects, For my future reference  can you please guide me on how to achieve this credit with  option 1 on enhanced referigerant management credit ?

Hi Subhashkumar,   If you want to target option 1 - no refrigerants or low-impact refrigerants, you must provide a narrative in the LEED v4 form. If low-impact refrigerants are used, provide the names of these refrigerants. If no refrigerants are used, describe why no refrigerants are needed.   Best regards – Afogreen Build Team
