  4. Why Green/Sustainable Design? Green / Sustainable Buildings: • Use key resources more efficiently (energy, water, materials, and land) than buildings that are just built to code • Create healthier work, learning, and living environments • Use more natural light and have better air quality • Contribute to improved employee and student health, comfort, and productivity

  5. Why Green/Sustainable Design? Why Would an Owner want their project to be a GreenProject? • Sustainable Design: 10 to 1 payback • Results of the 2008 study of 40 Green Buildings: • The cost premium for a Green/LEED Building ranges from 0.6% to 6.8% (depending on Certification Level sought) • An average increase in cost of only 2% • Approximate $2 to $4 per square foot premium • Financial benefit: $50 and $70 per square foot over a 20-year life of the building

  6. Why Green/Sustainable Design? • Whole Building Design Guide, U.S. Naval Facilities Command: • “Many of the factors that influence environmental comfort, such as quality lighting and adequate ventilation rates, also have a direct impact on building energy use. But the relationship between productivity and building energy use should be put in perspective.” • For private sector offices: • Salaries average $200 - $600 / SF / year • Building leases average $20 - $30 / SF / year • Energy costs average $2 - $4 / SF / year • Thus, a "productivity" increase of just 1% [$200 x .01=$2]: • Completely offsets the building's entire energy bill!!!

  7. LEED Process – Soft (Design & Fees) Costs • Manage Credit Documentation Process • estimated between $45,000 and $90,000 • Directly dependent on building complexity and Project LEED Certification goal • Produce computer based building Models • Energy, Lighting & Day-lighting • GSA Energy Modeling cost: $0.15 - $0.30 /SF (Based on 200,000+ SF buildings)

  8. LEED Process – Soft (Design & Fees) Costs • Building Commissioning a mandatory Prerequisite • (typical cost: 2 - 4% of construction cost of Systems) • Experience and studies prove more than 25% Return On Investment (ROI) • USGBC Certification and Registration fees • Registration $450 • Certification: $1750 (buildings < 50,000 SF) ($0.035 / SF)

  9. LEED Process – Construction Costs • Experience and Studies show $ ZERO to as little as a 2% premium • Increased Site and Construction Management may add to costs • Recycling construction waste & IAQ requirements may add to costs

  10. LEED Certification Process • Commitment • Form a LEED team ( Involvement of “all” the stakeholders !) • Registration • Documentation • Credit Interpretation • Application Submittal • Within 25 days : Preliminary LEED Review, USGBC • Up to 6 prerequisites/ credits shall be selected for audit • Within 25 days: Supplementary submittals, Project Team • Within 15 days: Final LEED Review, USGBC (2nd audit round) • Within 25 days: Accept or Appeal, Project Team • Award

  11. Rating System with five sections • Sustainable Sites S.S • Water Efficiency W.E • Energy & Atmosphere E.A • Materials & Resources M.R • Environmental Quality E.Q • Innovation in Design I.D
