Barriers to Success Decision to go for LEED certification made too late in process Project team including Architect, Contractors and Suppliers lacked LEED knowledge and experience at onset of project Steep learning curve & sub education needed Additional coordination efforts needed General perception cost of construction would be considerably higher Industry executives recently estimated 13-18%* incremental cost Perception more difficult to build General belief LEED is cost prohibitive * As reported by Market Barometer, Turner Construction
Business Case for Sustainability Economic Benefits: Reduced utility cost 2-30 %* Improved employee productivity 2-16%* Reduce total lifecycle cost over 20 years** Sales & marketing benefits Tax deductions & energy credits Health & Community Benefits Easier community permitting & less red tape in some cases Environmental Benefits * As reported by US Green Building Council (USGBC) ** As reported “The Cost of Green Revisited” Davis Langdon, July 2007
