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?

NC-v4 EAc2:Optimize energy performance

PV system energy going directly to the grid

Good afternoon everyone,

We are currently working on a project that is implementing a PV solar array, which will primarily be used for EV charging, but besides that, any excess energy is to be sent off to the grid without going through the building itself.

So my question is: can we claim the energy savings of this system under the Optimized Energy Performance credit (in the energy model), even though the energy doesn't technically pass through the building (but it is part of the project)?

Or is there any additional requirement that needs to be fulfilled or documented to be able to claim this savings in the energy model?

Thank you,

Who owns the system? If it is the same owner it should be fine. If a third party then there needs to be a minimum 10 year contract. In either case the RECs need to be retained or replaced.

Thanks for the reply Marcus. Yes, it would be same owner, is just that because of the project layout they will sell back to the grid most of the energy instead of using it in the building itself.
