Hi All, This may be a dumb question but it doesn't seem clear in the credit language. Is ACTUAL purchasing of this equipment required during the performance period like the other MR Credits? If it is, there should be clarification on the credit language. Thank you!

Hi Jeff, On the USGBC website it looks like EBOM projects must provide: "documentation that at least 20% of all installed equipment and 100% of purchases during the performance period meet the requirements." I think this functions similar to the custodial equipment credit, where you're not required to make any equipment purchases, but if you do, all of them must meet the requirements.
