The link below, fromLEEDuser, indicates that if you can use actual utility bills x 50% x 2 yrs to calculate the required quantity of RECs as opposed to the EAc1 energy model design consumption x 35

My apology in advance if this is already answered:

I can find no evidence that the 2-year period needs to start as soon as the building is finished, is that the case?

I am trying to calculate the REC quantity required for a building in the UAE to get EAc6 (Green Power), but noticed that the CBECS method does not apply to buildings outside the US.

We are looking at purchasing thew power for credit EAc6. 1. Can we as the A/E purchase it for the Owner? 2. How do you document the ID credit for 100% power purchased for 2 years?

The reference guide does not provide an EP threshold for this credit under the LEED-HC system. Does anyone know if an EP point is available at 70% or 100%?

I have a project with a dedicated wind farm. The wind farm is offsite, built by a 3rd party with a contract to supply 100% of the project's electricity usage for 10 years.

To quantify the total building's energy use and determine the 35% threshold to accomodate this credit, do we also include site power such as lighting, security, etc.?

Hi, we recently received an ad promoting the sales of US-american REC´s that would count towards the green power credit. Anyone familiar with www.renewablechoice.com? Thanks
