In explaining I was hoping when you would have talked about the different levels platinum gold excetera..

They done matter really.

You phrase it as if cost savings would be the main priority of LEED and that emission savings are an extra benefit. This is literally the opposite of the truth.
The highest purpose if by far emissions reduction and environmental impact.

Leed certification is designed, without accounting for climate change, to make western countries appreciate the extreme conditions those in the southern hemisphere experience, and that is pretty much all it is. If you can crunch data at 88-90 degrees, and write detail analysis, good for you. Because the certifiers were a bit too uneducated to review climate data i used, in say, 2012, ill leave work tomorrow at 1200 hrs, because i dont have to work in those conditions. Desinging skyscrapers using "Radiant Cooling" with warm water is a leed go to, they love that, no A/C, big savings for bldg owners, no relief for workers. Idiots.
