参考答案: C

本题解释:
Notes:

Reference: Cost of Green Revisited
A:LEED teams are achieving LEED certification through similar, low cost approaches. Most times the strategies among projects are very similar for those projects that have similar goals. Widely diverse methods would indicate every project is doing something significantly different than other projects.
B:LEED building is still taking place despite increases in construction costs.
C:According to Cost of Green Revisited - The 2006 study shows essentially the same results as 2004: there is no significant difference in average costs for green buildings as compared to non-green buildings.
D: Green design should not be an add-on. Green design should be considered in the pre-design phase. When green design is considered later (construction) phase the costs go up significantly and the building usually doesn\'t perform as well.
