I can not understand how all these commercial buildings are choosing LEED. I tried to do this with residential, but the ONLY Provider in town wants $2,800 per house minimum, plus uplifts for "additional performance testing credits", whatever that means. (They certainly refuse to explain it)

No homebuyer is going to pay $2,800 extra for LEED yet. What is going on with commercial?
