Fundamental Refrigerant Management

LEED 2.2 Requirements:

Zero use of CFC-based refrigerants in new base building HVAC&R systems. When reusing existing base building HVAC equipment, complete a comprehensive CFC phase-out conversion prior to project completion. Phase-out plans extending beyond the project completion date will be considered on their merits.

Submittals (DESIGN):

Please provide the following project data and calculation information based on the appropriate compliance path:

Option 1 - Zero Use of CFC Refrigerants
- Confirm that the project does not use CFC refrigerants.

Option 2 - Phase out Plan
- Confirm that the project has a phase-out plan for any existing CFC-based equipment.
- Provide a narrative description of the phase-out plan, including dates and refrigerant quantities as a percentage of the overall project equipment. AND (For Projects With Special Circumstances)
- Provide an optional narrative to describe any additional comments or notes regarding special circumstances or considerations regarding the project's prerequisite approach.
