<P class=MsoNormal>I recall someone once asked about the time needed to be
spent on LEED certification. Well, I have just come across a report
prepared by Northbridge Environmental Management Consultants
<http://www.nbenvironmental.com> entitled <U>Analyzing the Cost of
obtaining LEED Certification</U>, which is available online at the following

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It indicates that the documentation takes 226 working hours
on average to prepare and costs between US$8,000 - US$70,000 per project: the
first project costing between US$30,000 - US$60,000.<o:p></o:p></P>
