A data center in a rural area wants to be net-zero. Which of the following design decisions will help the project team achieve this?

A: Provide all occupants with electric vehicles
B: Purchase carbon offsets
C: Purchase RECs
D: Install a photovoltaic system on site

参考答案: D

本题解释:
正确答案：D
系统解析: D:On-site renewable energy (solar, wind, geothermal) would help the project generate all of the electricity it needs.

A:This would not help the project be net-zero.

B:Carbon offsets help offset a building’s carbon emissions.

C:REC purchases contribute to growing grid-source renewable energy.

Notes:

A net-zero energy (NZE) building is one that relies on renewable sources to produce as much energy as it uses, usually as measured over the course of a year. Net-zero energy buildings start with energy-conscious design.

A net-zero building that produces more energy than it needs can feed the excess back into the grid and earn revenue through net-metering.
