FAQs about EAc2 :

We have a PV array installed on our campus, under the same ownership, but not on the building or within the LEED project boundary. Can we count that toward EAc2?

Because of how our onsite PV system was financed through the utility, the project is selling the RECs associated with its solar energy production, even though we own the PV array and its power. Is there any way we can earn EAc2?

Can I pursue this credit if I am using one of the prescriptive compliance paths for EAp2/EAc1?

Can I really double-count onsite renewable energy in both EAc2 and EAc1?

Our PV system is being installed after the building is occupied. Is that okay?

Our project will have a PV system onsite, but it will be installed, operated, and owned by a separate entity that is paying for the system through a premium price per kWh paid by the utility, per state regulations. Is there any way to count this toward th

A biofuel-based cogenerator is being used to produce both electricity and heat (CHP). Can I consider all the energy produced, or just the electricity?

Can a backup generator qualify, if it runs on biofuels?

Dear Concern:- Our client produce huge amount of Renewable energy by wind mills and the energy produced via wind mill is almost 5 times greater than LEED project annual energy consumption so please advice/guide how to claim this wind mill energy production in Green power, what are the documents needed to get this credit Note :- wind mill is not in LEED Boundary (is it possible to claim it in EA CR 02 Credit)

First of all do not confuse green power with this credit. To claim off-site renewables the project owner has to own the power production (or it needs to be a lease of 10 years or more) and it needs to be located in the same utility service territory. The RECs must be retained or replaced. The owner must allocate a portion of the output of the renewable system to the project. So you need some documentation of the ownership of the wind power, evidence that the RECs have been retained or replaced, and a letter from the owner allocating some of the power to this project.

Dear Concern:- Thanks for the reply please provide the CIR or guidance to claim off site renewable energy Is it possible to claim off site renewable energy in EA PR 02 (EA CR 01)

What I wrote is from an interpretation but I don't have the interpretation numbers memorized. I would have to search for it. You can do so here - http://www.usgbc.org/leed-interpretations
