A project has a record of a full year’s electricity consumption of 500,000 kWh for a 100,000 sq. ft. space. The separation of regulated and non-regulated electricity loads is impractical. If the default electricity is 8 kWh/sq. ft., how much energy for an annual green power contract will need to be purchased for exemplary performance of Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power?
A: 800,000 kWh
B: 1,600,000 kWh
C: 1,000,000 kWh
D: 500,000 kWh

参考答案: B

本题解释:
See Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power, Calculations

According to the calculations - since the separation of regulated and non-regulated is impractical or even impossible, the team may use the Default Electricity Consumption calculation.

The team cannot use the 500,000kWh from the building’s record. Instead the team should use the default electricity consumption, 8kWh/sq. ft. and double it to 16 kWh/sq. ft. to achieve exemplary performance.

The space is 100,000 sq. ft. yielding 1,600,000 kWh per year.

100,000SF X 16kWh/SF = 1,600,000 kWh/per year
