Submit documentation to LEED Online. This will include filling out the LEED Online Submittal Template, which requires a number of inputs on total electrical consumption (or default values) and details on the green power purchased. You will also need to upload a proof of purchase for two years of green power—see the Documentation Toolkit for an example.

Call several green power providers to get a preliminary estimate of the cost to buy green power for 35% of the assumed, actual or default electricity consumption. While you’re at it, also get an estimate for buying double the green power and earning a poi

Call several green power providers to get a preliminary estimate of the cost to buy green power for 35% of the assumed, actual or default electricity consumption. While you’re at it, also get an estimate for buying double the green power and earning a point for exemplary performance. Find green power providers on EPA’s Green Power Partnership website or the Green-e website. See the Resources section for links to their websites.
