Using the CBECS database, a project team has estimated a high school building to consume 7.8 kWh/sf/year of electricity. The building area is 190,600 square feet. The local price of electricity is $0.09/kWh. How much electricity must be purchased in order to qualify for Energy and Atmosphere credit, Green Power?
A: $46,830
B: $93,661
C: 520,338 kWh
D: 1,040,676 kWh

参考答案: D

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

The total annual energy consumed is:

(190,600 sf) x (7.8 kWh/sf/year) = 1,486,680 kWh/year

(1,486,680 kWh/year) x (0.35) x (2 years) = 1,040,676 kWh

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