Question by MrsCurious: Has anyone gone through the LEED process on a commerical building?
We are looking to try building our new commerical building to LEED standards. I am just asking to see if anyone out there has been through the actual process with their own commerical building/business.
Thank you!

I have worked on the construction of a LEED certified building before. We attained a silver level of certification.
It takes a lot more time and money to complete the certification process. Although it is slowly becoming more economical. It depends what you want it for. LEED also does not necessarily mean it is very environmentally friendly, just better than nothing. It is probably the most credible green building certification in heavy use at the moment. Although you may also want to consider some life-cycle analysis system. ( These will cost lots of money, but actually mean something in the long run and that you have truly put above an beyond considerations into your building.)
What do you think? Answer below!
