[Equest-users] Green power

[Dante Garcia]

Hi.

Carbon offsets mitigate the carbon dioxide produced due to source
energy consumption in your building. For instance, if your building
generate 1 Ton CO2, a carbon offset of 1 Ton CO2 indicates that your CO2
generated is absorved anywhere in the world. You buy this certificate.

RECs are certificates that electricity is generated by a renewable sources.
For instance, if your site building consumption is 1 MWh, a REC of 1 (MWh)
indicates that the energy your building use is also generated by renewable
sources anywhere in the world.  You buy this certificate. For LEED RECs
should be Green-e certified or equivalent.

Green Power is renewable energy produced on-site and also used in your
building.

Hope that helps,
