Dear All:-
Our project don't have any Renewable energy such as Solar, Windmill so we plan to Buy a REC certificate for our Entire energy use (100%) as per ID -10161
1.Is it possible to get EAc2, EAc6 credits using REC Certificate & how it is possible
2.Is the REC certificate claim acceptable in EAc2 - Renewable energy
3.Is the REC certificate claim acceptable in EAp2 - Minimum Energy performance under renewable energy
4.If it is possible means how many % of REC we need to buy compare with proposed case energy consumption
5.How long(Years) & How much(% of Proposed energy) we need to purchase the REC certificate to claim 13 % in EAc2 renewable energy

ID 10161 is for a pretty specific application -- the renewable energy system is still located on-site. Do you have an on-site renewable energy system you could use for purchasing RECs?
