“…However, according to Zimmberman and Kibert, issues, such as scale of the assessment and bioregional applicability, have not been addressed [20]. In addition, according to [21], for developing countries, it is useful to assess the influence and development of green buildings in the developed countries for benchmarking purposes. However, many studies only provide qualitative analysis [21,22].…”

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most widely recognized green building rating systems. With more than 20% of the projects certified in non-United States (US) countries, LEED's global impact has been increasing and it is critically important for developers and regulatory authorities to understand LEED's performance at the country level to facilitate global implementation. This study therefore aims to investigate the credit achievement pattern of LEED 2009, which is one of the well-developed versions of LEED, by using 4021 certified projects in the US, China, Turkey, and Brazil. The results show that significant differences can be identified on most rating categories, including sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design. Using a post hoc analysis, country-specific credit allocation patterns are also identified to help developers to understand existing country-specific green building practices. In addition, it is also found that there is unbalanced achievement of regional priority credits. The study offers a useful reference and benchmark for international developers and contractors to understand the regional variations of LEED 2009 and for regulatory authorities, such as the U.S. Green Building Council, to improve the rating system, especially on designing regional priority credits.

“…Even though there are a growing number of sustainable building guidelines all over the world [15][16][17], this study focuses on guidelines developed in North America, Europe, and Oceania due to the limitation of language. The search for guidelines is focused especially on those developed by public sectors since the result of this study will be used to establish the developmental direction and strategies of sustainable building guidelines for the public sector.…”

Abstract:The issue of sustainability has become one of the major concerns among architectural professionals throughout the world. As a way of providing information, many countries have developed and distributed sustainable building guidelines. This paper aims to investigate architectural professionals' needs and preferences with regard to sustainable building guidelines in Korea, with a specific focus on various guideline attributes. We conducted a review of existing sustainable building guidelines in many countries and undertook a questionnaire survey among professionals in Korea to gain insight about their opinions. Forty guidelines were examined and characterized by their attributes, including main purpose, target building type, communication format, hierarchy of the information, and information type. As the main purposes of guidelines, professionals identified "to provide education on the significance of sustainable buildings and promote a better understanding of sustainable principles" and "to provide comprehensive and detailed information on sustainable building design strategies and technologies". Cost, financial information, as well as comprehensive implementation methods were found to be crucial information types for professionals.

Abstract. BREEAM is gaining popularity in the UK. Similar green building standards have gained popularity worldwide. However, it is important that we analyse the actual value added to a business by having a BREEAM rated facility. It is also important to analyze the impact on employee performance of such a facility. This paper presents a case study of a BREEAM excellent rated building with impact on the morale and performance of the employees. The data for the paper was collected using semistructured interviews of a group of employees who work at this facility located in Glasgow. The results suggest that it is important to highlight the tangible benefits and value added through the implementation of the BREEAM standard.
