The EMFIS® certification fee is covered by building owners and developers pay a fee to have their projects certified. The fee varies depending on the size and type of project, and covers the cost of the certification process, which includes an application review, on-site inspections, and ongoing technical support. Once a project is certified, the building owner or developer can use the EMFIS® certification as a marketing tool to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, which can help attract tenants, buyers and increase the value of the building.

The EMFIS® certification fees vary depending on the type of project, the level of certification sought, and the size of the project. Here is an overview of the general fee structure for an EMFIS® certification:

1. Registration fee: The registration fee is a one-time fee that is paid when a project is first registered with EMFIS®. The registration fee varies depending on the type of project and the level of certification sought.

2. Certification fee: The certification fee is a recurring fee that is paid annually to maintain the certification. The certification fee varies depending on the type of project and the level of certification sought.

3. Additional Fees: There are additional fees for additional services offered by the EMFIS such as, but not limited to, Appeals, Recertification, and Re-submittals.

It's important to note that the fees may vary depending on the country where the project is located, and also the version of EMFIS used, as there are different versions of the rating system.
