Inscape Leed Presentation

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Inscape Marketing Department

Overview • What is LEED? • Why is LEED important? • What are the fees? • How is LEED certification achieved? • How can we contribute towards LEED?

Why LEED? • Definitive standards for a “green building” • High performance buildings that are sustainable • Healthy workplace for incumbents • Resource efficient (Air, Water, Land) • Cost less to operate

LEED Categories

What is LEED? • First LEED pilot program was started in 1998 • Regulated by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) • Evaluates environmental performance from a whole buildings perspective over the building’s lifecycle • LEED certifications are awarded on A PROJECT basis

Primary Project Categories Commercial Interiors (CI) New Construction (NC) Existing Buildings (EB)

Certified Projects? NC CI EB Version 2.2 2.2 2.2 Registered 2046 348 197 Certified 7 93 20 Percentage Negligible 27% 11% * Certification information is based on 2007 projects in the United States

Identifying a project? LEED Rating System NC CI EB A Building Event Multiple Interior Projects A Process Design & Construction Design & Construction Life of the Building Capital Budget Capital Budget Operating Budget

What are the Fees? NC, CI, EB, < 50 000 sq ft 50 000 – 500 000 sq ft > 500 000 sq ft Core and Shell Fixed Rate Based on sq. ft. Fixed Rate & Schools Design Review Members* $ 1250 $ 0.025 / sq. ft $ 12 500 Non-Members* $ 1500 $ 0.03 / sq. ft $ 15 000 Construction Review Members* $ 500 $ 0.01 / sq. ft $ 5000 Non-Members* $ 750 $ 0.015 / sq. ft $ 7500 * USGBC/CaGBC members get a discount when applying for project certification
