In order to document compliance, you’ll need to enter all required data into the LEED Online credit form. The credit form will then generate the following valuable information.
You’ll get an itemized comparison of costs tracked during the LEED process with documented expenses for five years prior to LEED certification in terms of:
- gross costs,
- costs per square foot,
- and percentage of each spending category relative to the total operating expenses.
You’ll get an analysis of sustainability measures implemented in terms of:
- simple payback period for each measure;
- and the sum of all sustainability investments in terms of operations and maintenance costs, savings, and simple payback.
You’ll get a summary of overall costs, benefits, and payback in terms of:
- total incremental costs of implementation,
- total LEED certification process costs, total LEED incremental operating costs,
- total annual net savings,
- simple payback of total LEED incremental operating costs (in years),
- total incremental operating costs per square foot, total annual net savings per square foot,
- life-cycle net present value,
- and life cycle net present value per square foot.
