Inquiry

The LEED-EB reference guide version 2.0, First Edition, June 2005, EA 2.1-2.4 states that up to four points can be earned by purchasing renewable energy credits based on a percentage of a the buildings annual energy consumption (60% for 4 points). It also states that a letter must be signed stating the intent to purchase the same amount or greater for the next performance period. If a LEED EB project uses a 3 month performance period, what is the minimum number of months that must be purchased to meet each of the point requirements, and may an additional innovation point be earned by purchasing a 5th point?
