. Install an on-site photovoltaic array

Installing an on-site photovoltaic array is a direct method to produce renewable energy on the

project site, which can be used to achieve points under the Energy Atmosphere Credit for Renewable

Energy Production. Additionally, it contributes to optimizing energy performance by generating clean

electricity on-site and reducing the need for energy from non-renewable sources.

Reference: As per the LEED AP Building Design + Construction (LEED AP BD+C) V4 resources, the

installation of on-site renewable energy systems like photovoltaic arrays is encouraged to reduce

environmental impacts and improve a building’s energy performance. This aligns with the goals of

both the Renewable Energy Production and Optimize Energy Performance credits under the LEED

rating system. For more detailed information, you can refer to the web-based reference guide in the

credit library at USGBC’s official website.
