Hi all,

I’m working on a LEED v4 energy update project utilizing multiple renewable energy systems, such as:

• Solar PV (electricity),

Can a solar water heating system be considered a renewable energy system? Does it help with this credit? thanks.

Hello,LEEDuser!!!!

My project is planning to contract at least 10year more than 10 Gwh.(not confirmed about wind or PV but the amount is fixed, located in same utility service area)

I have a project that is a new building located on a previous certified LEED project with PV production.  The previous project had >90% offset by energy use and >100% offset by cost from

Would dedicated solar powered parking lot lights help contribute toward obtaining x% of the buildings annual energy cost covered by renewable energy?

Hi, I´d like to know what happens when the project owner also owns a PV systems on the project boundary but it´s not been used on the same building and sends all the production to the grid (selling

Proof of 3rd party Cx was requested by a Reviewer in a 2009 project. I'm no longer seeing this mentioned in v4... or is it implicit?

We're working on a project that is off-grid with energy generated via hydroelectricity, that supplies energy only to the building.

Dear All,

We’re currently working on a LEED certification of a project with the following characteristics:

Is PV Watts calculator acceptable documentation for this credit?  The specific PV panels for our project will not be selected until construction, so we won't have a more specific calculation o

Hi! In the requirement for EAc5 (BD+C) it is stated: "The use of solar gardens or community renewable energy systems is allowed if both of the following requirements are met. 1)The project owns the

Hi

Greetings,

Regarding Renewable Energy Production for LEED certification and also for LEED Zero certification, there is an issue which is kind of not clear to me.

Hi Everyone,

Is this calculated as the gross energy cost (i.e. without reducing energy cost with the renewable energy offset) or the net energy cost?

We have a large sewer interceptor runnning through our site and are looking to tap into that heast source for district space conditioning.

We have a case  for our project, the production  need steam so  they use boiler, but the fuel is biomass (sugarcane bagasse, rice husk, rice straw, coconut shell, peanut shell, agric

Hello,

We are using LEED V4 BD+C, and we achived a credit listed within the LEED Homes Design and Construction; specifically the EA Credit: Active Solar-Ready Design.

I am working on a v4 project that is about to submit for final construction review.  We must reach Gold and are right on the threshold, going in with 62 points, if all are earned.  We don

We are modeling a building connected to a DES and we decided to follow Option1 - Path1 for energy modelling.

My project is a garment factory which produces a lot of garment waste (scraps, cuttings, etc), which we use to fuel the boiler in the factory.

 Hi,

Hi, We have a new small building on a large industrial site in Switzerland (same owner for the entire site) that we want to certify with LEED Gold (only the new small building) and we have no space

The LEED Credit template for this credit indicates that the renewable installation has to be complete and commissioned prior to building occupancy.

Scenario 1 - Is solar energy produced inside the campus but outside of the project boundary considered towards the credit?

Our project intends to provide land, under a min. 10-year lease, to the local power provider who will install a min. 1MW PV system.

We are working on a Manufacturing Project in Vietnam with very high non-regulated loads (around 75% of the total energy consumption).

Dear all,

we are planning a new office building direct near the production hall of the same owner. Only office building will be certified.

We are working on a Manufacturing Project in Vietnam with very high non-regulated loads (around 75% of the total energy consumption).

Can a project split the source of renewable energy used on site between their own on site system and making up the rest through a purchase agreement with a community RES?

Example:

I'm confused as to the wording for solar gardens or community renewable energy systems (off-site): "The system is located with the same utility service area as the facility claiming the use." Does

Hello - I was reviewing the Reference Guide addenda items, and there is one for this credit that just does not make sense.  It is regarding the Required Documentation table, page 439 in the RG

San Francisco's Public Utility Commission offers a currently-optional program called Clean Power SF. Electricity for the program is supplied by local renewable sources.

Hello, We have a project located in Sweden. Does an akvifer that stores heating and cooling count as renewable energy? The akvifer has two sides - a cold and a warm.

Hello, I have a question about the ownership of a solar PV array, and how that effects this and any other credit.

We're designing a system based on renewable energy installation for new construction. A part of this installation would performed by aerotermal energy.

I’m reading the new version of the reference guide and I have some doubts concerning this credit. As example, within the LEED boundary electricity is produced by pv panels.

hi, i am new with this LEED. now i design for a new project. under this NC-V4, EAC5, is the point award still based on the below table? percentage of on-site renewable energy LEED point 1%

I am reading the below paragraph from the reference guide and i don't quite understand it , as it is really confused with the Green power credit?

We would like achieve points for the credit: Renewable Energy Production. The design team is considering an Aquifer Therma Energy Storage (ATES) in combination with a heatpump.

Hi - Our solar system is adding two points to our "optimize energy performance" category due to the cost offset.
