A new LEED Core and Shell project plans to install a photovoltaic system to the roof of the building. The system will produce 9000 kWh of electricity per year. The cost of electricity in the area is $0.10/kWh. The total electricity consumption of the project has been calculated to be 180,000 kWh per year. Based on this information, how many points could this project earn for Energy and Atmosphere credit, On-Site Renewable Energy?
A: -0
B: 1
C: 2
D: 3
E: 5

参考答案: E

本题解释:
Notes:
Total building energy consumption = (180,000 kWh) x ($0.10/kWh) = $18,000 per year
Energy produced by the PV system= (9000 kWh) x ($0.10/kWh) = $900 per year

$900/$18,000 = 0.05 = 5%

The project would be eligible for exemplary performance for Energy and Atmosphere credit, On-Site Renewable Energy.

Core and Shell projects must produce 1% of the project\'s total energy (based on cost) to earn 4 points for Energy and Atmosphere credit, On-Site Renewable Energy. An exemplary performance point is available for meeting the 5% threshold.
