I am stuck on this LEED BD+C question.
The future building tenant decides to increase the outdoor air ventilation rates by 30% compared to the ASHRAE 62.1-2007 standard in a mechanically ventilated building. Which of the following statements are true? (Choose 3)
-The requirements of the Increased Ventilation credit are met
-The Air Handling Unit flow measurement alarms need to be recalibrated to the new design rates
-The total green energy purchase required for the Green Power credit must be recalculated
-MERV-13 filters must be installed
-The minimum distance between smoking areas and air intakes has to be 30% higher
-The breathing zones need to be redefined to comply with the Increased Ventilation credit
Apparently the green power is one of the answers- is that an error? I don't understand why it would be an answer.

Increase the ventilation will increase total energy consumption thus impacting green power amount needed.
