A refrigerated warehouse project in the design phase could reduce its electricity usage by taking which of the following actions?
A: Purchasing RECs
B: Purchasing carbon offsets to counter GHG emissions
C: Purchasing all electricity from a wind farm
D: Enrolling in a demand response program

参考答案: D

本题解释:
正确答案：D
系统解析: D:’Demand response allows utilities to call on buildings to decrease their electricity use during peak times, reducing the strain on the grid and the need to operate more power plants, thus potentially avoiding the costs of constructing new plants.’ - USGBC

A demand response program can work for the most demanding energy projects - data centers, refrigeration, or fully occupied buildings in areas that hit 110 F degrees (43 C) in the summer.

A:RECs do not alter a building’s electricity use.

B:Carbon offsets do not alter a building’s electricity use.

C:While this choice is better than using fossil fuel based electricity, it does not reduce the electricity usage of the building.
