Marcus,
I am looking at the on-line form for EAc2 On-Site Renewable Energy. (LEED 2009 for New Construction) The asterisk occurs after each of two Required Signatory boxes. Path selected: Option 1 Whole Bulding Energy Simulation.
Thanks!

Under the Additional Details check the special circumstances box and a narrative space opens. Enter your explanation there for how the owner was informed about the ownership of the RECs and the installation of the system. If any documents would assist in this task, upload them.

FAQs about EAc2:

We have a PV array installed on our campus, under the same ownership, but not on the building or within the LEED project boundary. Can we count that toward EAc2?

Because of how our onsite PV system was financed through the utility, the project is selling the RECs associated with its solar energy production, even though we own the PV array and its power. Is there any way we can earn EAc2?

Can I pursue this credit if I am using one of the prescriptive compliance paths for EAp2/EAc1?

Can I really double-count onsite renewable energy in both EAc2 and EAc1?

Our PV system is being installed after the building is occupied. Is that okay?

Our project will have a PV system onsite, but it will be installed, operated, and owned by a separate entity that is paying for the system through a premium price per kWh paid by the utility, per state regulations. Is there any way to count this toward th

A biofuel-based cogenerator is being used to produce both electricity and heat (CHP). Can I consider all the energy produced, or just the electricity?

Can a backup generator qualify, if it runs on biofuels?
