FAQs about EAc6 :

The owner has purchased RECs for a percentage of energy use of its whole portfolio of buildings, or campus. Can we earn this credit for a single LEED building with this purchase?

We plan on pursuing this credit only if we need to do so to meet our certification target, i.e. if another credit we are counting on gets rejected. How late can we apply for this credit?

The owner purchases RECs based on an earlier prediction, but our energy model is now showing that we are just a little short of the credit threshold. What should we do?

Our project is outside the U.S. We would like to earn this credit by purchasing RECs, but there are no Green-e options available here. It looks like most Green-e certified power comes from the U.S. What should we do?

We are pursuing this credit outside the U.S., and the owner wants to know if we can buy green power through a provider in our country that is not Green-e certified. We started comparing our national standard to Green-e and quickly found an area where the

Yes you can. Ideally the documentation of the purchase would include the name of the project. You provide a proof of purchase/contract and document that you have purchased a sufficient quantity of green power. Do this for the credit and the ID is automatic. No need to submit anything else, just fill out the ID credit form in LEED Online. The requirement for an ID credit is 70%, not 100%.
