Past research has portrayed these costs as a percentage increase, essentially creating an overall contingency for green buildings, but no work has been done to quantify the incremental cost on a building's actual design program that can be assigned directly to the project budget. is research sought to provide an objective approach to estimating sustainable design and proposes a framework for estimating the initial capital costs of sustainable building design and construction as measured by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certication program. e framework allows tracking of costs during design and can be utilized for estimating future projects. e framework is developed using case study analysis of green building projects in OK City, Oklahoma. e paper concludes that the cost of " going green " can be estimated as a unit price basis as a cost per LEED credit. e proposed framework can be used by any public agency to determine the additional cost of LEED certication and for budgeting future projects.
