LEED Cost Study: Volume 1 - Final Report

This is Volume 1 of a 2 Volume set. Volume 1 contains the Final report, however the Appendices can be found in Volume 2

The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) commissioned this study to estimate the costs to develop ＂green＂ federal facilities using the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Building Rating System, Version 2.1. The report provides a detailed and structured review of both the hard cost and soft cost implications of achieving Certified, Silver, and Gold LEED ratings for two GSA building types, using GSA’s established design standards as the point of comparison.

Includes a list of applicable NIST, UFC, and MIL-HDBK cybersecurity publications for consideration.

Why buy a book you can download for free?

First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it’s all there - including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it’s just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it’s 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.

It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
