Only one point is available through EAc1, Option 2: Compliance with Advanced Energy Design Guide, but it is earned automatically and does not carry any additional requirements over EAp2. This option is available to K–12 schools up to 200,000 ft2. If you choose this compliance path, become familiar with the list of prescriptive requirements, and commit to meeting them. (See the AEDG checklist in the Documentation Toolkit.)

Multiple CO2 sampling locations throughout densely occupied spaces provide better information and control than a single CO2 monitor for the entire space.
The costs of installing and maintaining alternative fueling stations should be weighed against the anticipated use of the facilities and the environmental benefits that can accrue from it.
For liquid fuels like biodiesel and ethanol, provide storage and safe handling procedures for fueling stations. Research a variety of fuels that may be made available to the project occupants.
Project teams should carefully consider available technologies and different fuel sources before installing fueling stations. There are also legal, technical, and safety issues to take into account and deal with early in the process:
