1) determine the applicability of a prerequisite or
estimates also provide a basis for gauging the
credit to typical GSA project types;
potential cost implications of each prerequisite or
credit on other GSA projects, outside of the study.
2) establish how LEED requirements compare to
existing GSA design standards; and
A standard format has been used for each credit
evaluation, as defined in the following pages.
3) estimate the potential cost impact to achieve a
prerequisite or credit, using the Courthouse
and Office Building models as references.
