A core and shell project will contain 213,000 gross SF of which 183,180 SF are considered usable.
The building is expected to use 11.7 kWh/SF/yr. How much energy must be from renewable
sources to earn points for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power?
A: 122,113 kWh
B: 130,835 kWh
C: 261,671 kWh
D: 244,225 kWh

参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:
To earn two points for EA Credit 6, the core and shell project must purchase 35% of the building
electricity from renewable sources for two years.
Additionally, Core and Shell projects only account for energy used for the core and shell square
footage, but it must be a minimum of 15% of the building total gross square footage. Calculate
Core and Shell square footage, (GSF-USF) / (GSF) x 100.
213,000SF - 183,180SF = 29,820SF / 213,000SF = 14%, but the credit requires we use 15%
Core and Shell square footage is less than the minimum, so use the 15% minimum number in the
calculation.
213,000SF X .15 = 31,950SF
31,950SF * 11.7kWh = 373,815kWh/yr is the default annual electricity consumption
The project must buy 35% of this amount for two years.
373,815 X .35 X 2 = 261,671kWh
