The project team for an elementary school did not perform a whole building simulation for
Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Optimize Energy Performance. Instead the team is
estimating 6.6kWh/SF/year of energy use for the 98,750 SF building. The project team is
expecting to pay $7.74/kWh for renewable energy. How much energy must be purchased
to earn an exemplary performance point for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green
Power?
A: $1,765,590
B: 1,303,500 kWh
C: $5,044,545
D: 651,750 kWh

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes:
To earn exemplary performance, the team must purchase 100% energy from renewable
energy sources.
The team must find the total annual energy use.
6.6kWh/SF/yr * 98,750 = 651,750kWh/yr
The project must purchase this amount for two years.
651,750kWh/yr *2 = 1,303,500kWh is the amount that must be purchased to earn
exemplary performance.
