In the US a Davis Langdon study showsprojects of similar nature often cost atdifferent rates due to many drivers; butGreen is not one of them.

Why Rapid Growth?

- Provides metrics for ongoing delivery ofsustainability in buildings- Reduce building operation cost- Federal, state & local incentives available-Tool to measure the performance of LEEDcertified buildings under other LEED ratingsystems.- Tool to monitor the building performance- Communicate the need for good practices

As of November 2009

Where do you see Jordan GBC10 years from now?

Think About it.
