How to do itHow to do it• Hire the design and construction

teams at the same time.• Have 2 separate agreements: One

for the design side and one for CM at RiskRisk.

• Hire the Commission agent early.• Use the Integrated design process• Use the Integrated design process• Hold a sustainability “High

Performance Building” Charrette gwith the entire project team beforestarting design.

How to do itHow to do it• Use the LEED for checklist for an

outline of at least part of the Charrette.

• Create a sustainability program (this is in addition to the facilities program/ educational specifications)

• CM does cost estimating during design phases

First Cost vs. Life Cycle Cost

a Davis Langdon study shows g yprojects of similar nature often cost at different rates due to many drivers; but Green is not one ofdrivers; but Green is not one of them.Cost and benefit of achieving green buildings, 2007, Davis LangdonDavis Langdon

Four key conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of construction costs for LEED‐the analysis of construction costs for LEEDseeking versus non‐LEED seeking projects:

1. There is a very large variation in costs of1. There is a very large variation in costs of buildings, even within the same building program category.

2. Cost differences between buildings are due primarily to program type.

3. There are low cost and high cost green buildings.

4.  There are low cost and high cost non‐green buildings.
