Credit Requirements: Provide at least 50% of the building\'s electricity from renewable sources by engaging in at least a two-year renewable energy contract. Proposal: Our client has contracted with a Green-E certified power marketer for a supply of renewable power equal to 100% of the project\'s energy consumption. We feel that this commitment to the environment through total renewable energy should be considered exceptional performance since it is doubling the requirements set by the LEED Green Building Rating System. Thus, we respectfully ask that our client be awarded one point in the category of Innovation in Design. Please confirm.
An innovation credit can be earned by doubling the threshold requirements for EAc6, Green Power. For this, a project team may purchase renewable power equal to 100% of the project\'s annual energy consumption for a 2-year contract (or longer), OR, by purchasing renewable power equal to 50% of the project\'s annual energy consumption for a 4-year contract (or longer). The net amount of power purchased must double the amount required by the credit. Only one innovation credit can be earned for exemplary performance of EAc6. Applicable Internationally.
