<p class=MsoNormal> I am now struggling with some other LEED related items
& wonder if anyone knows about a chat group like this where
engineers can discuss other LEED related issues. Specifically, I am trying to
find AC systems that are VERY efficient with their use of refrigerant, (< 2
lb/Ton).<o:p></o:p></p>
