Renwable energy cost is calculated by multiplying the renewable energy contribution by either the local utility rate or the Energy Information Administration 2003 average energy cost for the renewable fuel type.

65,321 kWh X $0.08 kWh = $5,225

$5,225 Renewable Energy Cost / $79,432 Total Annual Utility Cost = 6.6%

Using more than 5% can earn 2 points.

Exemplary performance requires 10%.
