CT Statute Requirements
Building construction standards for new construction of certain state facilities. (a) …. any new construction of a state facility, except salt sheds, parking garages, maintenance facilities or school construction, that is projected to cost five million dollars or more, and is approved and funded on or after January 1, 2007, shall comply with the regulations adopted pursuant to subsection (b) of this section. ……
(b) Not later than January 1, 2007, …….. adopt building construction standards that are consistent with or exceed the silver building rating of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design's rating system for new commercial construction and major renovation projects, as established by the United States Green Building Council, or an equivalent standard, including, but not limited to, a two-globe rating in the Green Globes USA design program, and thereafter update such regulations as the secretary deems necessary.

Green Globes™ Ratings and Assessment Tools
Buildings that have a predicted rating of 35% or more can pursue third-party assessment. Third-party assessment is required to publicize your building as a Green Globes rated/certified building.
One to four globes are possible and our recognition program includes a plaque and PR kit. Case study development is encouraged.

What is LEED?
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design In 1995 the USGBC (United States Green Building Council)
with cooperation from the U.S. Dept. of Energy, developed the LEED rating system to define the term ‘green building’ and to stimulate energy conservation design.
Green Building Rating System that provides a suite of standards for environmentally sustainable construction
encompasses more than 14,000 projects in US and 30 countries covering 1.062 billion sq ft of development area.
the USGBC has stated support for the 2030 Challenge, an effort that has set a goal of using no fossil fuel green house gas emitting energy to operate by 2030.

LEED Costs:
Other costs associated with LEED:
DESIGN PROFESSIONAL Costs – This involves collecting of the pertinent information during the design process, plus minutes of milestone meetings and needed computations. This is true with both sections of the effort including submission information pertaining to points. Design Phase Range dependent on the project ($20-40,000) Construction Phase again dependent on the project ($20-60,000)
If a firm elects to hire a service to take on this duty the only cost we can identify that the design firm will then be responsible for will be the development of computations. Otherwise the fees should not be duplicated.
Other costs associated with LEED:
COMMISSIONING – The work is defined in our contract documents, this party will be involved in the entire design and Construction process, additionally they will participate in the Post Occupancy Evaluation of the performance of the project. The cost is directly related to the size and complexity of the project and added fees if the project is phased.
Design Phase Range dependent on the project ($20-40,000)Construction Phase Range “ ($20-200,000)POE usually a one time effort ($5-12,000)

Example of possible costs for a project:
Approach
Provide minimum language in A/E contract identifying requirement for design, documentation, and submission for certification.
Include enhanced commissioning in the Construction Administration contract, and requirements for LEED oversight.
All parties must be engaged at the earliest definitions and scoping of the project.
Do not duplicate efforts for commissioning (i.e. within the MEP scope of services) nor the implementation of the LEED requirements.

A/E Contract Language (base services)
The Architect shall take all necessary measures and shall meet professional standards of care to provide design and other services for the project, including those elements necessary to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Silver Certification, to file application documents to obtain LEED™ Silver Certification, and to take other measures necessary to obtain LEED™ Silver Certification. The silver level of certification is the minimum required. As identified and established with the Agency and the Owner, a higher level of certification may be achieved.

2. Design review:Review the 50% and 90% design submittals provided by the design build contractor and provide written comments to DPW as a report. Each report will address site work …….. commissioning, electrical and plumbing (MEP) systems. Each report will also address the design provisions for LEED construction and its effect on the operations of the facility.
5. Supervision and Inspectiond. The Construction Administrator shall monitor all tests,
equipment/systems start-ups, LEED certification, systems commissioning and operating/maintenance training.
