Hi,

 

If we were to offset 50% of our energy cost with Solar PV panels on the roof of our building, would we qualify for roughly 26 or 27 points under EAc1?  Is this approach allowed in Mid-Rise EAc1?

Thanks,

Curtis

Curtis, The points earned in EA credit Annual Energy Use for LEED for Homes multifamily midrise depend entirely on a project's performance vs. ASHRAE 90.1. PV is allowed to be counted towards a project's percent reduction and contribute towards points earned. Carissa
