FAQs about EAc2 :

The energy cost offset from onsite renewable energy cannot be used to demonstrate compliance with the prerequisite. Can this cost offset still be credited to the proposed energy cost savings for this credit?

Will the LEED CS 2009 Alternative Compliance Path continue through to LEED version 4? There is a 2009 calculator that CS projects use to determine revised points thresholds based on Owner-Influenced energy percentage (dated August 30, 2011). Will there be an updated calculator for LEED version 4?

I would think so as the primary concept remains the same. The thresholds have changed so a new one needs to be prepared. I have not yet seen a new one posted on USGBC's web site. I would contact USGBC/GBCI directly and ask. The best way is foten through the Contact link on gbci.org.

I think I heard that it was discontinued for v4 projects but I am not sure where or when I heard it or if it is in writing anywhere.

In version 4, you'll notice that CS has a different point scale than NC. The logic for this is to account for the limited influence the landlord has in a CS project. So I do not expect an ACP will be created for v4.

Thank you. I got an official answer from USGBC saying it is not applicable to CS v4.
