Is it mandatory to run the model on Radiance when the model has been built up on Ecotect? I have been facing issues on installing Radiance because of my computer windowns version.

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).
