FAQs about EAc2 :

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

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?

1. yes in certain circumstances, you need to read the interpretations on the subject 2. No 3. same point scale. 4. EAp1 is about commissioning. If you mean EAp2 then if it qualifies for EAc2 then you can count it for EAp2/EAc1.

Can someone direct me to the CIR that states that Off-site renewable energy can be used to offset the building energy cost savings as part of the energy model? What are the conditions that the off-site PV array has to fulfill to be used as part of the energy model? Regards, Ruju

The best way to find an interpretation is to simply Google the subject matter along with the words LEED Interpretation. So in this case i would try LEED Interpretations off-site PV.
