1. Choose a worksheet by clicking the appropriate tab at the bottom of the Excel window. Pick the Single Unit worksheet to provide
information for a single piece of equipment. Or, pick the Multiple Units worksheet to describe a project with different types of equipment
and/or refrigerant.
2. Type the job name in cell B2.
3. Type the location of the job in cell B3.
4. OPTIONAL: Enter the appropriate unit tag(s) from the equipment schedule in cell(s) B5 through G5.
5. Enter the refrigerant type in cell(s) B6 through G6. Selecting the refrigerant type automatically inserts the appropriate
GWP and ODP values from the LEED-NC v4 Reference Guide (EA Credit 4, Table 1) in rows 14 and 15, respectively.
6. Enter the equipment type in cell(s) B7 through G7. Selecting the equipment type automatically inserts the appropriate
equipment life value(s) from the LEED-NC v4 Reference Guide in row 12.
7. For each refrigerant type and equipment type, enter the HVAC mechanical cooling capacity in cell(s) B8 through G8. If multiple units use
the same refrigerant type, enter the sum of their capacities.
8. For each refrigerant type/equipment type combination, enter the HVAC refrigerant charge, in pounds, in cell(s) B9 through G9. If
multiple units of the same equipment type use the same refrigerant type, enter the sum of their refrigerant charges in pounds.
8A. (For Multiple Unit worksheet only) Enter the number of identical units in Row 10.
The project qualifies for EA Credit 4 of LEED-NC v4 if the value in cell H21 (Multiple Unit worksheet) or C21 (Single Unit worksheet) is less
than or equal to 100 and Yes is displayed in cell H22 or C22.
The project does not quality for this credit if the value in cell H22 (Multiple Unit worksheet) or C21 (Single Unit worksheet) is greater than
100 and No is displayed in cell C22 or H23.
9. OPTIONAL: To provide additional information about the project, type your comments in cell A87 (Multiple Unit A88)
10. To print the caluclation results for your records and/or as documentation for your LEED project submittal, either click the Print button
in the toolbar or open the File menu and select Print.
The report is automatically stamped with the date and time of the last calculation (cell B46).
