Published by firstgreen on

LEED certification is a third-party verification program that recognizes buildings for their sustainable design, construction, and operation. The cost of LEED certification can vary depending on several factors, including the type and size of the building, the location, the certification level sought, and the scope of services required from the certification consultant. Here’s a price estimate for a LEED 2009 New Construction project in Haryana, India, with a 100,000 sq ft building.

Registration: The first step in the LEED certification process is to register the project with the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI). The registration fee for this project is estimated at INR 80,000 for both members and non-members.

Design and Construction Preliminary Review: The next step is to have the building’s design and construction plans reviewed by a LEED consultant to ensure that they meet the requirements for the desired certification level. For this project, the combined fee for the design and construction preliminary review is estimated at INR 3,76,000 for members and INR 4,51,400 for non-members.

Design Preliminary Review: If the project is still in the design phase, the design preliminary review fee is applicable. For this project, the design preliminary review fee is estimated at INR 3,07,000 for members and INR 3,63,300 for non-members.

Construction Preliminary Review: If the project is in the construction phase, the construction preliminary review fee is applicable. For this project, the construction preliminary review fee is estimated at INR 1,02,300 for members and INR 1,21,100 for non-members.

Total Cost: When we combine all the fees mentioned above, the total cost of LEED certification for this 100,000 sq ft building in Haryana, India, ranges from INR 4,56,000 to INR 5,51,400 for members and INR 4,89,300 to INR 5,84,400 for non-members, depending on the scope of services required.

Taxes: It’s important to note that taxes, such as the Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) of 18%, are applicable to the above-mentioned fees.

Grand Total: When we add the applicable taxes to the fees, the total cost of LEED certification for this 100,000 sq ft building in Haryana, India, ranges from INR 5,38,080 to INR 6,50,652 for members and INR 5,77,374 to INR 6,89,592 for non-members.

It’s important to note that the fees mentioned above are just an estimate, and the actual cost of LEED certification can vary based on several factors. Building owners and developers are encouraged to work with a LEED consultant to get an accurate estimate of the certification fees and to ensure that their building meets all the necessary requirements for certification.
