A 254,000 sq. ft. building is attempting to earn an exemplary performance point. What amount of green power purchased by the operating company will qualify the project for exemplary performance for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power?
A: 2,540,000 kWh
B: 8,128,000 kWh
C: 4,064,000 kWh
D: 5,080,000 kWh

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Exemplary performance is achieved by purchasing 100% renewable power for a period of two years.

Because no information is given about the electricity use of the building, use the default of 16 kWh per square foot per year to compute exemplary performance.

254,000 sq. ft. X 16 kWh/sf/year = 4,064,000 kWh / year

4,064,000 kWh X 2 years = 8,128,000 kWh
