This new book contains square foot prices for over 50 different types of green buildings, broken down by CSI division.
This Costbook also includes articles on the cost of LEED® certification, green roof design, and the goals of other LEED® certified builders throughout the U.S. All of the costs in the book have been carefully adjusted for 2010.
