28. Evaluate each targeted point or green element: Studies suggest an initial up front investment of 2% extra will yield over ten times the initial investment over the life cycle of the building • COSTS: • Not all green elements are affordable for every project • Evaluate first costs • Long-term maintenance / replacement costs • Energy costs • Design and documentation costs • Documentation costs • BENEFITS: • Environmental benefits • Long term cost savings – energy, operations, replacement • Payback period • Credit and Recognition • “Good will” benefits – demonstrated commitment • Increased Productivity

29. LEED Costs:

30. Other costs associated with LEED: DESIGN PROFESSIONAL Costs – This involves collecting of the pertinent information during the design process, plus minutes of milestone meetings and needed computations. This is true with both sections of the effort including submission information pertaining to points. Design Phase Range dependent on the project ($20-40,000) Construction Phase again dependent on the project ($20-60,000) If a firm elects to hire a service to take on this duty the only cost we can identify that the design firm will then be responsible for will be the development of computations. Otherwise the fees should not be duplicated.

31. Other costs associated with LEED: COMMISSIONING – The work is defined in our contract documents, this party will be involved in the entire design and Construction process, additionally they will participate in the Post Occupancy Evaluation of the performance of the project. The cost is directly related to the size and complexity of the project and added fees if the project is phased. Design Phase Range dependent on the project ($20-40,000) Construction Phase Range “ ($20-200,000) POE usually a one time effort ($5-12,000) CONSTRUCTION – Different levels create different costs Certification (Bronze) Little if any increase Silver usually 0 to 1.5% Gold (dependent on the innovations used) 3-6% of Construction

32. Example of possible costs for a project: • Higher Ed Client - 80,000sf 4 story classroom building - $20,000,000 Construction cost • Application Fee $ 600 • Certification for NC • Design Rev. 80k x .035 = $2,800 + 4 Challenges $2,000 $ 4,800 • Const Rev. 80k x .015 = $1,200 + 2 challenges $1,000 $ 2,200 Total USGBC Costs= $ 7,600 • A/E Costs Design Fee for Processing and design of LEED Issues including the recording of the various important meetings and decisions, DOE 2 software, collection of various materials and meetings $ 40,000 • Construction fees for processing of LEED Issues $ 60,000 Total added Cost for LEED $100,000 • Added Construction costs • Innovation cost of use of PV for water heating • PV costs of $100,000 CCEF rebate of $50,000 Added cost $ 50,000 • All other costs for higher performance equipment off-set by • Efficiency in operation and smaller motors and Elec. needs. $ 0 • Total Added cost for Construction $ 50,000 • Grand total of project for sustainable design in range of $ 157,600 LESS THAN 1%

33. DPW / State of ConnecticutSustainable Design Implementation Approach Provide minimum language in A/E contract identifying requirement for design, documentation, and submission for certification. Include enhanced commissioning in the Construction Administration contract, and requirements for LEED oversight. All parties must be engaged at the earliest definitions and scoping of the project. Do not duplicate efforts for commissioning (i.e. within the MEP scope of services) nor the implementation of the LEED requirements.

34. DPW / State of ConnecticutSustainable Design Implementation A/E Contract Language (base services) The Architect shall take all necessary measures and shall meet professional standards of care to provide design and other services for the project, including those elements necessary to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Silver Certification, to file application documents to obtain LEED™ Silver Certification, and to take other measures necessary to obtain LEED™ Silver Certification. The silver level of certification is the minimum required. As identified and established with the Agency and the Owner, a higher level of certification may be achieved.

35. DPW / State of ConnecticutSustainable Design Implementation A/E Contract Language (as a special service) LEED® & Sustainable Design Services • The Architect shall provide the following LEED® & Sustainable Design services to have the new construction receive a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) silver certification. The Architect is authorized to engage the services of ___ for the services set forth in this subsection. • Prepare strategic planning workshops with key stakeholders to establish project goals, strategies and establish LEED targets. Develop a matrix report that reconfirms the targeted LEED credits and level of certification. • Prepare LEED calculations during the planning phase to demonstrate potential LEED compliance for various credits. • Do energy modeling during the planning phase. Analyze & calculate the building’s energy use through the design process. Investigate LEED point eligibility and recommend energy efficiency &/or documentation strategy compliant with United States Green Building Council (USGBC) LEED requirements. Develop U.S. Department of Energy models reflecting the project design. Compare the models to display the project’s energy savings. Investigate the life cycle cost of Energy Efficiency measures.

36. DPW / State of ConnecticutSustainable Design Implementation A/E Contract Language (as a special service) continued…. • Provide specification language for environmentally preferable products, suitable for inclusion in the Architect’s construction specifications during the planning phase. Include LEED Process specifications during early construction documentation. Assist design team in developing specification language for the green process items related to the LEED program. • Provide final documentation and submissions for the LEED-eligible credits. Assemble the documentation and upload to the LEED Online webpage which will be accessible at the time of registration. Submit the LEED application on DPW and the Owner’s behalf to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for approval. Respond to feedback from USGBC. Coordinate the application process through the final review by the USGBC. Fees payable to USGBC for the application are to be provided by the Owner. • During the construction phase, review the contractor submittals for materials &/or other green products to confirm compliance with the material-related requirements of the LEED New Construction (NC) program. Provide comments to the Architect, DPW and Owner. Provide all final documentation and submissions based on information from the design team. Assemble documentation and submit the LEED application on DPW and the Owner’s behalf to the USGBC for approval. Respond to USGBC comments to gain final approval.

37. DPW / State of ConnecticutSustainable Design Implementation (samples of) CA Contract Language 2. Design review: Review the 50% and 90% design submittals provided by the design build contractor and provide written comments to DPW as a report. Each report will address site work …….. commissioning, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Each report will also address the design provisions for LEED construction and its effect on the operations of the facility. 5. Supervision and Inspection d. The Construction Administrator shall monitor all tests, equipment/systems start-ups, LEED certification, systems commissioning and operating/maintenance training.
