CFC Reduction in HVAC Equipment

The intent of this LEED prerequisite is to reduce ozone depletion by reducing or eliminating the use of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Do not use CFC-based refrigerants in new base building HVAC&R systems. For existing base building HVAC equipment, complete a CFC “phase-out” prior to project completion.

R-410A Rooftop Systems

A LEED pre-requisite is that HVAC equipment must not use a CFC refrigerant. An additional point can be earned if the refrigerant is not an HCFC (such as HCFC-22 and HCFC-123). HFC-410A, HFC-407C and HFC-134a are considered green refrigerants and earn the extra LEED
point.
