Using the CBECS database, a project team has estimated a new office building to consume 8.5 kWh/sf/year of electricity. The building area is 330,200 square feet. The local price of electricity is $0.07/kWh. How much electricity must be purchased in order to qualify for Energy and Atmosphere credit, Green Power?
A: 982,345 kWh
B: 1,964,690 kWh
C: 2,806,700 kWh
D: 3,929,380 kWh

参考答案: B

本题解释:
Notes：
See the ‘Requirements’ section of EAc 6, Green Power.

The total annual energy consumed is:

(330,200 sf) x (8.5 kWh/sf/year) = 2,806,700 kWh/year

(2,806,700 kWh/year) x (0.35) x (2 years) = 1,964,690 kWh

EAc 6, Green Power is calculated by QUANTITY OF ELECTRICITY consumed (not cost).
