CS-2009 EAc2: On-site Renewable Energy
By using on-site renewable energy for 7% of the total energy, do we get now 7 points compared to the 4 points for NC?
Thank you

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?

Looks like you get 4 points for 7%, see credit language above.

Check the last comment on this page. There is some confusion about the value of points for different levels of renewable energy.

Yep your right Bill the credit language above is incorrect. It should be 1% for 4 points.
For 7% you would still get 4 points and be eligible for an exemplary performance ID credit.

USGBC had this showing incorrectly in its credit library, which we draw from. I asked them to correct it, and I corrected our display. It's 4 points for 1%.

Does it mean between 1% and 4%(including) we get 4 points, and starting with 5% we get 1 more point as EP?
