How much do Sustainable Buildings cost?

It is reported that on average Sustainable Buildings can cost an extra 7% to 40% of the total construction costs, when compared to buildings built in line with the current Building Regulations and/or in line with the proposed Future Home Standards. However the upshot of Sustainable Buildings includes lower operational costs and higher sale and rental value, which is offsetting these additional costs.

The actual Cost of a Sustainable Building , will vary depending on the project type and constraints. Variables will firstly include the required level of sustainability specification and level of certification (i.e. varying levels of low energy to Net Zero). Other variables will include location, purpose, planning approvals, design, construction, technical and operational requirements. All of which will impact the actual Cost of a Sustainable Building.
