FAQs about EAc6 :

Our project is outside the U.S. We would like to earn this credit by purchasing RECs, but there are no Green-e options available here. It looks like most Green-e certified power comes from the U.S. What should we do?

We are pursuing this credit outside the U.S., and the owner wants to know if we can buy green power through a provider in our country that is not Green-e certified. We started comparing our national standard to Green-e and quickly found an area where the

Our project will be net-zero energy, i.e. will produce as much or more power than it consumes. Can we earn this credit?

The owner has purchased RECs for a percentage of energy use of its whole portfolio of buildings, or campus. Can we earn this credit for a single LEED building with this purchase?

We plan on pursuing this credit only if we need to do so to meet our certification target, i.e. if another credit we are counting on gets rejected. How late can we apply for this credit?

The owner purchases RECs based on an earlier prediction, but our energy model is now showing that we are just a little short of the credit threshold. What should we do?

Is the exemplary performance point still available? The new form v6 does not have the option for selecting exemplary performance. The ID credits do not have EAc6 as an option in the pull down menu. Am I missing a button somewhere?

thank you Marcus. I have since learned that there is a problem with the newest form. GBCI said "this is a known problem with the v6 form we are working to have corrected. If you could, please mark in the special circumstances field on the EAc6 v6 form that you wish to achieve ID credit and what your percentage threshold will be. If you could also then note in the Innovation and Design credit (ID) credit reference to the Special Circumstances field on the EAc6 form your review team should be able to follow and review appropriately."

Is the exemplary performance point for 100% percent an additional point on top of the 2 points. So do you receive 3 points total?

The EP for this credit under v2009 projects is 70%, not 100%. There was incorrect info in the EP section of the original Ref Guide. You get 2 points for 35%, and an extra 1 EP point for 70%, so yes, a total of 3 points is available, just in different credit sections. The LOL credit form should confirm these thresholds.
