I am currently working on a project in conjunction with my MBA studies regarding LEED EB certification. It has been determined that if the company we are working with decides to move forward they would require a LEED AP consultant. I am curious how many hours on average are required to help an organization achieve LEED status? Also, does anyone know or have estimates of what the hourly rate would be or any other fees that the organization may incur? Some background information on the project. It will be a LEED EB, distribution center, 340,000 sq. ft. and currently only has 4 prerequisites, 4 credits and an ENERGY STAR score of 52. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Rodney, it's fine to ask, but I very much doubt you will get many quantitative answers to this post. The detail is helpful but there is a lot more needed to know what it would take to achieve EBOM. Every consultant has their own approach and fee structure, and it depends a lot on the organization and their approach, etc. Fees are easy—see the LEED certification fees on GBCI.org. There is a lot of information on this website on what it takes to approach each credit, and cost tips.

I have the fees from GBCI.org, but thanks. I figured I wouldn't get much of an answer. I have reached out to a number of consultants with no real answer. The only thing I have found is a White Paper by the Leonardo Academy of 13 surveyed LEED EB buildings.
