Because the green building industry is so new, there is a lack of industry experience and a general lack of understanding and agreement on the added costs to make a new building “green”.  Some sources have claimed that there is no additional cost, however various studies have targeted a typical premium for LEED projects at 2%–15% of the base building cost, with the high end including a lot of on-site renewable energy generation for LEED-NC EAc2. This report prepared at Y T Enterprises gives a project owner a simple breakdown of the kind of costs involved to get a project LEED certified. Please fill the form below to download the full report.
