Inquiry

Our project is a university project that receives its refrigerants from a cooling plant owned by the local Thermal Energy Cooperative. This plant serves several buildings on campus, and utilizes a combination of CFC, HCFC and HFC chillers. The plant has HFC chillers using HFC-134a refrigerant with an annual capacity of 84,000,000 ton hours. Our building will require less than 350,000 ton hours of chilled water per year. We have asked the Thermal Energy Cooperative to base load our building with its HFC chillers. They have given us a signed agreement that says they will allocate at least 350,000 ton hours of cooling per year for the building from capacity generated by their HFC chillers. Is a copy of this agreement substantial documentation to meet the pre-requisite as well as serve as part of the documentation for EA Credit 4.0 Ozone Depletion?
