In EAc1 Related Credits (pg. 260 of BD&C Book) it says that you can mitigate energy use impacts by using renewable energy: refer to EAC2, and EAC6. Does that mean that I can take my Solar PV array's estimated energy prodcution to reduce the energy requirements of the building for EAC1? Likewise, can I utilize Green Power REC purchases to help in the energy calc for EAC1?

Your on-site PV array counts toward EAc1. REC purchases do not count towards EAc1.
