Which refrigerants are allowed under the enhanced refrigerant management EA credit?

Refrigerants with ODP of 0 and GWP of less than 150
Refrigerants with ODP of 1 and GWP of less than 1000
Refrigerants with ODP of 0 and GWP of less than 500
Refrigerants that completely eliminate ODP and GWP

The correct answer is: Refrigerants with ODP of 0 and GWP of less than 150

The correct choice highlights the specific criteria for refrigerants under the enhanced refrigerant management credit in LEED. Refrigerants with an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0 and a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of less than 150 align with the goal of reducing environmental impacts related to both ozone depletion and climate change. This option promotes the use of refrigerants that do not harm the ozone layer while also having a significantly low impact on global warming, reflecting a priority for sustainable practices in building design. In contrast, other choices present refrigerants that either do not fully meet these stringent benchmarks or allow for a higher level of environmental impact, which does not align with the intent of minimizing harmful effects on both the ozone layer and the climate. For instance, refrigerants with an ODP of 1 or a GWP of 1000 are not as environmentally sound, allowing for greater potential harm.
