FAQs about SSc1 :

Do SSc1 paths pertain to the whole building or just your own space? What if our own space meets one of the SSc1 paths but the whole building does not?

What if my base building is LEED registered and not yet certified—can I still earn five points under SSc1?

Is exemplary performance available for this credit, in addition to the five points?

Extra PV, how to get credit?

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.
