AUTHOR: Davis Langdon

| Davis Langdon 2004 Costing Green Comprehensive Cost Database.pdf

This paper uses extensive data on building costs to compare the cost of green buildings with comparable programs that do not have sustainable goals.

The foundations are also laid to analyze incremental costs over starting budgets, and to compare the costs for different specific measures and technologies. Additionally, we present a budgeting methodology that provides guidelines for developing appropriate budgets to meet the building program goals, including sustainability goals.
