FAQs about EAc4 :

We are purchasing green power through the local utility but it is not able to provide or sign a two-year contract because of restrictions applied to the utility. Can we still meet the credit requirements with our current purchased green power covering the

We’d like to wait to pursue the option for off-site renewable energy until after the results of the preliminary review. Is it ok to pursue this credit after the preliminary review is complete or as an appeal should we need additional points?

What time period do purchased RECs and offsets need to cover? Do we need to cover the performance period plus an additional two years after that?

EBOM-2009 EAc4:On-Site and Off-Site Renewable Energy

How can the PV array benefit be shared?

Our campus has multiple buildings, one of which is going for EBOM now. The PV array is adjacent (in the parking lot). The PV's do have a meter, so we know their output. This output along with the local utility are like a pool, powering the entire campus. If we share the PV feature for LEED certification among all the buildings (using a sf allocation perhaps) the renewable energy to each building will be so low that no one will really get this EAc4, despite the millions of $ spent. What are our options?

Maria, you could allocate in LEED terms to one building to give that building EAc4. Or you could allocate it equally and make up the difference with purchases of RECs.
