The link below, fromLEEDuser, indicates that if you can use actual utility bills x 50% x 2 yrs to calculate the required quantity of RECs as opposed to the EAc1 energy model design consumption x 35

My apology in advance if this is already answered:

I can find no evidence that the 2-year period needs to start as soon as the building is finished, is that the case?

To quantify the total building's energy use and determine the 35% threshold to accomodate this credit, do we also include site power such as lighting, security, etc.?

Hi, we recently received an ad promoting the sales of US-american REC´s that would count towards the green power credit. Anyone familiar with www.renewablechoice.com? Thanks

The local Utility sells "Community Solar" in yearly blocks - is NOT yet Green-e certified but willing to provide all the data required to be Green-e certified.

We have already had our EAp2/EAc1 energy model credits reviewed and approved. In an effort to achieve a higher LEED rating, the owner has opted to purchase REC's.

Our client is a national banking program that has purchased REC's as a corporation in 2010 and 2011 as part of a corporate portfolio program.

The percentage of RECs is calculated as a percentage of the result of the energy model in EAc1. Does this include or exclude the amount of renewables on site.

Dear Concern:- Our client produce huge amount of Renewable energy by wind mills and the energy produced via wind mill is almost 5 times greater than LEED project annual energy consumption so pl
