What are the additional costs to construct a green building as compared to a conventional building?
Depending on the level of greenness attempted, the building could have an additional cost of 0% to 40%. 0% would be for integration of passive architectural systems and design level interventions that do not rely on non-conventional technologies. 40% would be for the other end of the spectrum, where the building deploys all renewable energy systems, waste management technologies, energy efficiency features such as lighting and HVAC technologies, insulation, etc.
