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

Our project will be net-zero energy, i.e. will produce as much or more power than it consumes. Can we earn this credit?

Hi all, we are working on a shell&core project that, once completed, will be a single tenant occupied buiding. The Owner would like to ask the tenant to manage and sign the eletricity supply contract, including green power, therefore I would have a contract signed by the tenant, instead of the Owner. Could it be an issue or not?

Ciao Fabio! If they do so based on the electric use of the whole building it should not be a problem.

I don't think that who has to buy the green power is written anywhere. I have heard of projects where the contractor purchased the green power on behalf of the owner. If the reviewer gives you a hard time then have the tenant "donate" the green power purchase component of the contract back to the owner.
