I am trying to calculate the REC quantity required for a building in the UAE to get EAc6 (Green Power), but noticed that the CBECS method does not apply to buildings outside the US. Unfortunately, the project manager does not know what the modeled consumption was or if it was even modeled. Any ideas regarding an alternate calculation method that would apply to the UAE? Any help is much appreciated.

You can wait and calculate the green power purchase based on the actual electric consumption of the building after it has been occupied for a year.
