# Summary
Points are awarded where the development is all electric. As the electricity grid transitions to renewable sources of generation, and more homes and buildings generate and store renewable energy on site, all-electric buildings are part of the transition to a zero carbon built environment.
Answer Yes to this credit if your development will use electricity only.
This is a project wide credit. The entire development must be all-electric.
For example, a mixed use development that includes all electric apartments but a restaurant using gas for cooking is not classed as an all electric development.,Buildings using wood for heating or hot water are not classed as all electric.
Outdoor equipment such as portable barbeques or heaters are out of the scope of this credit and not considered, as they are not specified at the planning stage.
