Hi,
After reading all comments I'm still not clear about the following, I hope you can help me:
- We have not gone through the building simulation route in EAC1.3, so in principle we would need to buy 8kWh*sqf.
We are however thinking of finding a green electricity provider to supply us with the 100% of electrical power at least for the 2 years required. Would this contract be enough to earn the credit, and furthermore the innovation in design one? Or would we still need to buy the 8 (or 16) kWh/sqf to comply with teh credit(s), in case our building's consumption was lower?
Many thanks in advance,

If the electric supply contract meets the Green-e criteria then you can document compliance by having an agreement in place to purchase all of your power from this source. It would earn the credit and an ID credit for exemplary performance.
