FAQs about EAc6 :

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?

Schools-2009 EAc6:Green Power

Green e certification

Our project had a combined review and the reviewer questioned hydro RECs purchased by the owner as not being Green -e or equivalent. The owner will purchase additional Green-e certified RECs from the same company in addition to the former. Therefore will enter into a new contract beginning now, before we submit the final response. This should satisfy the requirements for the credit correct? ( the contract start date is not an issue? but rather the duration and amount? correct?).... Thanks Suzy

You can purchase additional or replacement RECs in between the review phases and the start date will not be an issue.
