LEED Certification and Registration Fees Increase

On December 1, 2016, GBCI adjusted the LEED registration and certification fees for the first time since 2010. LEED registration provides your team with access to LEED Online and now access to the fully integrated arc platform. LEED Online allows you to track LEED credits and strategies and facilitate LEED certification from start to finish.

In order to lock in current LEED certification rates, projects must complete certification or pre-pay certification fees before March 1, 2017. All new registrations are subject to the adjusted prices.

Key changes include:

  • $300 increase for project registration (for commercial projects)
  • New minimum thresholds introduced for fees
  • All currently registered and certified LEED projects will have automatic access to arc as of December 1, 2016
  • Optimized pricing considerations for large scale projects, portfolios, campus and volume program participants

Please see the new pricing chart on the USGBC website, here.  These updates apply to all Lorax projects scheduled to submit design or construction for review after March 1, 2017.  For questions regarding the price increase, please reach out to your Lorax Partnerships Project Manager.
