What is LEED®?
LEED® is the green building standard of choice for Federal agencies and state and local governments nationwide. LEED® gives building owners and operators the tools they need to have an immediate and measurable impact on their buildings’ performance.
What are the benefits of LEED® for Existing Buildings?
LEED (Leadership in Energy and Efficiency Design) helps building owners and managers solve building problems, improve building performance, and maintain and improve this performance over time. LEED® reduces cost streams associated with building operations, reduces environmental impacts, and creates healthier and more productive employee workspaces
What is LEED® for Existing Buildings?LEED-EB is different from the other LEED® rating systems in that it focuses on the Operational rather than the Reconstruction of a building. It is the beginning of a continuing process for the life of an existing building.
What are the overall costs of LEED-EB Impementation and Certification?
The overall cost of LEED-EB implementation and certification ranges from $0.00 to $6.46 per square foot of floor space, with an average of $2.43 per square foot. These results are not correlated with the level of certification achieved. This is probably because the level of certification achieved is dependant on the pre-LEED-EB implementation performance of the building rather than on the LEED-EB implementation expenditures. (Leonardo Academy White paper, 2007)
How is Energy Star used in LEED-EB?
Minimum Energy Performance. Projects registered under LEED-EB v2.0 after June 2007 need to earn at least two energy points under EA Credit 1 which requires an Energy star score of at least 67. And going forward project certifying under LEED-EB OM will need to have an Energy Star Score of at least 69.
