I am in the final stages of negotiating a scope of work with an architect, and the subject of "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design" (LEED) certification for the project came up. The architect wants me to add this to my scope of work for the structural engineering. Does anyone have experience with LEED certification as it relates to the structural portion of a project? I'm looking for estimates of the additional effort required.
Based on my initial review of the LEED certification handbook ( I would guess about 10% additional effort, but I'm looking for some opinions based on experience.
Thanks,
