# Summary

Points are awarded when another form of renewable energy (not solar) provides 5% of the annual energy consumption of the building class it supplies.

This credit relates to a renewable energy system other than solar PV. If there is no other renewable system, this credit will be automatically scoped out.

Note there is no built-in calculator for other renewable energy systems. You will need to supply your own calculations and enter results directly into the credit.
