POL1 – IMPACT OF REFRIGERANTS – MAX. 4 CREDITS
OBJECTIVE – To reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from leakage of refrigerants used to heat or cool the building.
Assessment criteria:
- Leak detection: Where systems using refrigerants are fitted with a permanent automated refrigerant leak detection system.

(*) Part of the leak detection system.
Refrigerant measurement could be a variable for a controller, but this is not normally a category considered as part of a BEMS control system.
POL4 – NIGHT-TIME LIGHT POLLUTION – MAX. 1 CREDIT
OBJECTIVE – To ensure that external lighting is focused on appropriate areas and that upward lighting is minimised, reducing unnecessary light pollution, energy consumption and disturbance to neighbours.
Assessment criteria:
- All external lighting (except security lighting) can be automatically switched off between 23:00 and 07:00.

(*) Applicable to devices that can switch off external lighting. (**) All metering products (except CMS and EV meters) have digital outputs that can act to control an on/off switch. Control can be carried out via timers (AG timers, DBT timers) and via twilight switches (TL line). Dimming is not possible.
