more information on each of the LEED Rating Systems.

Q: How much does LEED certification cost?
A: The cost for certification is calculated according to the building’s gross square footage as entered on the “Project Summary” tab in LEED Online. View the
certification guide for a detailed overview of both the registration and certification costs.
Q: How do I submit certification payment?
A: You will be prompted for payment when submitting your project for review in LEED Online. Please follow the instructions outlined on the screen—you will be given the option to pay by credit card or check. Credit card payments can be made at the time of submission by entering your card information into the payment form. For check payments, an invoice with payment instructions will be sent to you by email; please follow the instructions on this invoice. Do not send payment in advance. Checks received without an invoice number take longer to link to the correct project, and can actually delay the certification process.
Q: If I originally selected the “Pay by check” option when submitting my project for review, can I decide later to pay by credit card?
A: No. Our system is not set up to change the method of payment once a sales order has been submitted. It is better to wait until the method of payment can be verified before submitting the project for review.
Q: Has my payment been received and processed?
A: Check payments that have been properly submitted take approximately 7-10 business days to clear in our system. Once payment clears, payment confirmation will be sent to you by email.
Q: How do I change versions of the LEED rating system?
A: Contact GBCI.
