For our Singapore projects, we need to buy REC but are not sure where to start searching? Is it also true that the vendor can be from any country regardless where the project is located?

Please advice.

Yes- you can purchase RECs from a vendor from any country regardless of where the project is located. We've provided Green Power to over 2,000 LEED projects globally and would be happy to help. LMalone@renewablechoice.com

FAQs about EAc4:

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?

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?
