FAQs about EAc4 :

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

On Site Renewable Energy accreditation

We are working in a project where the local government wants to certify its main administrative office building. They want to install PV panels but they no longer have available space on this building´s roof. However, they own a twin building separated by an avenue where they can install the PV panels, Is it possible to claim for on site renewable energy even when the panels will not be installed in the LEED project boundary?. Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hi Alicia, I think this could work if you apply the situation like a campus scenario. See LI 10128 for more information on previous guidance from USGBC. One caution is that it looks like the guidance from that LI hasn't been officially applied to EBOM projects.
