An alternative independent power supply is required for Class A office buildings.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Renewable energy usage reduces the environmen- tal and economic harms associated with fossil fuel energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Purchasing energy attribute certificates (EACs) al- lows buildings that use non-renewable power to create market demand for renewable energy and support the development of renewable infrastruc- ture. Renewable energy produced on-site protects projects from energy price volatility while reducing wasted energy lost in transmission. The building should be designed and managed in a way, that tenants can choose to procure energy from renewable sources, such as: on-site renew-

able energy generation (e.g. PV panels), off-site renewable energy produced by a generation as- set(s) in the project’s country or region, or off-site renewable energy that is Green e-Energy certified or equivalent. Possibility to purchase renewable energy may contribute to obtaining higher score in green office certifications (such as LEED, BREE- AM, WELL). Additionally, the voluntary market can encourage energy producers and utility compa- nies to develop clean energy sources and help address climate change.

Alternative power can be provided via the use of a generator unit or a second independent power supply from a different mains circuit from the primary supply.

Standby generator provided for life safety sys- tems (if required). Provision of space for ten- ants generators may vary according to the number of tenants to be accommodated and sharing of facilities.
