I'm not sure if we are going to pay for LEED certification but our projects target Energy Star standards.Another idea I have been tossing around is the idea of offering a 10% rebate (or fixed dollar payment, e.g. $20/month) to tenants who subscribe to a wind/solar/renewable resource energy supplier.
