We have a unique situation where we have an owner who wants to install a lot of pv on their project. SSc1 is already filled up with the max 5 points. Is there any way the additional PV can count as on-site renewable far exceeding this particular credit? Can we pursue an ID credit for this? Thanks.

Keelan, you can take credit for the PV under EAc5; On Site Renewable Energy + ID credit for exemplary performance.

Keelan, Sorry - EAc5 is available for 2009 CI-Retail. If your project is not retail, you can still submit EAc5 as an ID credit, but that will only be worth 1-point, which is the same as taking Exemplary Performance under SSc1, Path 11. Another idea is that you could also showcase the PV as part of a Green Building Education program, worth another ID credit.

Thank you, this is an office, and that is exactly what I was wondering..1 point potentially for 10% on-site renewable energy production, and another potential point if tied to an education program, both of which we can probably achieve.
