Natural gas use less than 1MMBtu...can't obtain carbon offsets

EBOM-2009 EAc4:On-Site and Off-Site Renewable Energy
posted by  Wendy Parker, LEED AP  on 

We have purchased our REC's for our building's electricity use but have been unable to find anyone that offers carbon offsets for our natural gas use because it's so low (less than 1MMBtu a year).

I am planning to take the exam in September 2014. However, I came to know that the study guides will not be released until Fall 2014 (I am not sure about the specific date of release though).
