Practical Applications
Because of GSA's overall requirement to achieve
LEED certification on all new construction and
major renovation projects, it expected that all
design teams contracted by GSA will have a
number of LEED accredited professionals on their
team.
Basis for Cost Assumption
In both the Courthouse and Office Building
models, it is assumed that one or more of the key
project team participants is LEED accredited. No
cost premium is assumed.
