Over the last decade, the green building movement has gained tremendous momentum largely due to the widely accepted environmental and social benefits attributed to sustainable building practices. However, to be truly sustainable one must also invest in strategies that are economically sustainable. In this session, two speakers from the Wisconsin Green Building Alliance will explore how the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Green Building Rating Systems framework can be leveraged to balance the Triple Bottom Line, with an emphasis on the economics associated with green building. After this session, participants will be able to answer: What is LEED and the Triple Bottom Line? What cost benefits can be attributed to green building? What costs are associated with LEED? Do "LEED equivalent" approaches to building save money? Why should LEED certification be important to an owner and project team?
