8.17 Renewable Energy

8.17 可再生能源

English(英文原文)中文(中文翻译)
Electrification alone will not eliminate a building's carbon footprint if non-renewable energy is still being used. Green buildings explore options to use renewable energy, derived from sources that are replenished at a faster rate than they are consumed. 如果发电仍使用不可再生能源,仅靠电气化无法消除碳足迹。绿色建筑探索使用可再生能源的方案。
Projects can use on-site renewable energy (consumed where produced) and/or off-site renewable energy (purchased directly from local sources or indirectly via renewable energy certificates/RECs). 项目可以使用场内可再生能源和/或场外可再生能源(直接从本地来源购买或间接通过可再生能源证书购买)。
