At Living Future last week a woman from Google asked about cost comparisons and I shared that the City of Santa Monica conducted a study analyzing the costs of a prototypical mixed-use project for a Living Building vs. LEED v4 Platinum vs. code compliant (Title 24, part 6). I thought this group might be interested as well so here is the link below. ENJOY!

Hi all, Google “SantaMonica_HighPerformanceStudy_Final.pdf” It’s the same link as what you see here, but that one works for some reason. Ghost in the machine? Mara MARA BAUM HOK mara.baum@hok.com t +1 415 356 8660 m+1 415 691 9782 From:

This is full of value, super helpful - thank you! Keep in mind that with LBC 3.0 + 3.1 the costs go up for Net Positive Energy and (more to the point) battery storage for resiliency. The cost of equipment, labor, and square footage add up fast.
