Cost Tip

Conventional building assemblies are not likely to meet the credit requirements. Added costs are likely from adding insulation to wall assemblies, using thicker wall assemblies, and windows and doors with higher STC ratings.

Unexpected contamination can make this prerequisite expensive. For example, a Phase I ESA in Colorado can cost $1,000–$3,000, while a Phase II ESA in the same state can cost $10,000 and up. If the Phase II ESA finds that your site is contaminated, you are

Unexpected contamination can make this prerequisite expensive. For example, a Phase I ESA in Colorado can cost $1,000–$3,000, while a Phase II ESA in the same state can cost $10,000 and up. If the Phase II ESA finds that your site is contaminated, you are required to remediate the site to local, state or federal standards, whichever is most stringent. Though dependent on the extent and type of contamination, remediation has the potential to be very costly and time-consuming.

A low-cost way to achieve this prerequisite is to purchase a site that has already passed a Phase I ESA, or to have an ESA included in the due diligence before purchase.

Purchasing or renting compliant entryway mats should not be very expensive, but prices can vary so check with local vendors. Installing new grilles and grates could entail substantial cost and is less likely to be pursued.

Current technologies for generating small-scale renewable energy systems have two major barriers: low efficiency and high installation expense. The expenses consist of the actual generating technology (photovoltaic panels, wind turbine, or a hydro plant)

Conventional developer-driven projects do not allow room for long payback. It is helpful to run a long-term cost-benefit analysis to estimate the savings after the first ten years of the installation, presenting onsite renewable system as a cost-effective

Conventional developer-driven projects do not allow room for long payback. It is helpful to run a long-term cost-benefit analysis to estimate the savings after the first ten years of the installation, presenting onsite renewable system as a cost-effective investment to the future occupants. Spec projects can still pursue this credit and install
