<div dir="ltr">Hi.<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><span style="font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline"><span style="text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;display:inline"><br></span></span></div><div>Green Power is renewable
