This first edition of RS Means Green Building Cost Data is designed to help construction professionals estimate, plan and budget the costs of green construction - both new commercial construction and renovation work. It reflects years of careful cultivation and expansion of the thousands of green line items in the RS Means cost database, presented in CSI MasterFormat 2010 for convenient reference.

The 2011 RS Means Green Cost Data book provides:

• A wide array of green building products and systems - from high efficiency heating, cooling, electrical and plumbing, to photovoltaic panels, green roofs, and wind power, to high performance glass and more.
• Easily identified cross references to LEED and Green Globes building rating systems criteria.
• On-site environmental remediation costs.
• City Cost Indexes and Location Factors covering over 930 three-digit zip codes in the U.S. and selected locations in Canada.
