How can a LEED project earn credit for Green Power?

A: By purchasing biofuel based power
B: By purchasing any renewable energy source
C: By installing solar panels
D: By selecting a Green-e certified power provider

参考答案: D

本题解释:
Purchasing biofuel based power can help but only if the energy source is Green-e certified.

Only energy sources certified by Green-e are acceptable.

Installing solar panels helps with On-site Renewable Energy.

For states with open electricity markets a Green-e certified power provider can be selected. Off-site renewable energy is accepted by LEED towards the Green Power credit.
