An office building project with a retail component on the first floor totals 1,000,000 sq. ft. The space requires a median electrical intensity of 1kWh/sf-year. What total amount of green power purchased by the tenant will qualify the project for exemplary performance for Energy and Atmosphere Credit, Green Power?
A: 8,000,000 kWh
B: 1,000,000 kWh
C: 2,000,000 kWh
D: 500,000 kWh

参考答案: C

本题解释:
The question asks for exemplary performance. For green power, the annual green power contract amount must be for 100% of calculated annual usage.

1,000,000 sq. ft X 1kWh/sf-year = 1,000,000 kWh/year (100% of the power)

A 2-year contract is required so the total amount of the purchase must be twice the annual quantity.

1,000,000 kWh X 2 years = 2,000,000 kWh
