Under the USGBC Energy & Atmosphere Green Power Credit, LEED buildings may earn points by providing a portion of the building’s electricity from Green-e Energy Certified® RECs for at least two years. Additional point may frequently be earned by substantially exceeding this requirement. RECs are an easy and low-cost option to fulfill LEED requirements for green power. Purchasers do not have to change utility arrangements or install any new hardware. Learn more or contact a LEED Green Power Advisor to get a quote at LEED@3degreesinc.com.
