What is the primary purpose of sampling in project verification?

The primary purpose of sampling in project verification is to reduce time and costs associated with testing and verification. By selecting a representative subset of materials or components, rather than evaluating every single element in detail, project teams can efficiently assess the overall quality and compliance of the project. This approach allows for effective monitoring while minimizing extensive workload and expenses related to comprehensive testing.

Sampling is a strategic practice within LEED certification processes as it ensures that the verification efforts remain manageable and focused, reflecting the broader project quality without the need for exhaustive analysis. This also allows teams to allocate resources effectively and maintain compliance with standards without incurring unnecessary burdens.
