FAQs about EAc2 :

We have a PV array installed on our campus, under the same ownership, but not on the building or within the LEED project boundary. Can we count that toward EAc2?

Because of how our onsite PV system was financed through the utility, the project is selling the RECs associated with its solar energy production, even though we own the PV array and its power. Is there any way we can earn EAc2?

Can I pursue this credit if I am using one of the prescriptive compliance paths for EAp2/EAc1?

Can I really double-count onsite renewable energy in both EAc2 and EAc1?

Our PV system is being installed after the building is occupied. Is that okay?

Our project will have a PV system onsite, but it will be installed, operated, and owned by a separate entity that is paying for the system through a premium price per kWh paid by the utility, per state regulations. Is there any way to count this toward th

A biofuel-based cogenerator is being used to produce both electricity and heat (CHP). Can I consider all the energy produced, or just the electricity?

Can a backup generator qualify, if it runs on biofuels?

Dear all our project is located in a rural area. then agriculture waste (Biomass) is available in anywhere near our site. We can get these biomass easily and free of cost. so we plan to install a Biomass boiler for steam requirement. The fuel for biomass boiler is free(No cost).and now we have some doubts ,the same is listed below 1.Is this qualify for Innovation credit & Renewable energy 2. What is the cost we consider towards Renewable energy cost (Electricity is used for Lights and machines, Diesel fired boiler is act as a backup when biomass boiler is in maintenance /failure) A. Can I take the Energy cost of Diesel fired boiler to produce the same Quality and Quantity steam produced by Biomass boiler towards renewable energy cost B. Can I take the Energy cost of Electrical fired boiler to produce the same Quality and Quantity steam produced by Biomass boiler towards renewable energy cost Awaiting for your reply

1. It depends on the source of the biomass, some qualifies, some does not. It is not eligible for an innovation credit in and of itself. 2. You say the cost is free 2A/B. The baseline fuel source is the back up. In your case diesel fuel.
