This paper briefly analyses the differentiation of the Green Building Assessment Scheme between America and China from the national environment angle to demonstrate the importance of government guidance in the development of green buildings. The establishment of LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) mainly complies with the regulation of market mechanisms. On the contrary, China’s Green Building Assessment Scheme “GB/T 50738” cannot entirely rely on the market mechanism due to the national environment. In order to improve the GB/T 50738 to meet Green Building development in China, several suggestions have been proposed in the paper to increase the efficiency and practicality of GB/T 50738 implementations.

Assessment Index System

Presently the sustainable development stratagem has made the green buildings to be a trend of building industry in China, and the assessment to the green buildings is becoming more and more important in developing the green buildings. In this paper the meaning of the green building assessment is explained, several main domestic and foreign green building assessment systems are analyzed and compared, and the common ground and limitations of these assessment methods are presented. Then a novel assessment index system which is more comprehensive, scientific and suitable for green buildings in China is developed by using the life cycle assessment method. This system contains six categories including land saving and outdoor environment, energy saving and utilization, material saving and utilization, water saving and utilization, indoor environment quality and economy. According to the decision-making stage, design stage, construction stage, operation and maintenance stage, each category is divided into more concrete indexes. At last the established assessment system is used to evaluate a typical building in Xi’an, China. The final novel assessment index system is of theoretical and practical significance for the assessment and development of green buildings in China.

ABSTRACT To accommodate its increasing population, the Myanmar government has planned to implement smart city projects in Yangon and Mandalay by 2021 and to build 1 million homes by 2030. However, such projected growth does not coincide with Myanmar’s current level of preparedness for sustainable development. Myanmar presently has no standards and specifications for green buildings; it solely relies on the adoption of those from overseas, which may not always be compatible with the unique context of Myanmar. Hence, this study was aimed to identify appropriate green building assessment indicators for Myanmar as an important first step for future rating system development. Nine categories and forty-eight criteria were initially identified by reviewing the widely adopted seven rating systems and investigating existing certified green buildings. The Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) was used to determine and rank the importance levels of the identified assessment indicators. Results showed that “energy efficiency” and “water efficiency” are the most crucial categories with weights of 17.48% and 13.95%, respectively. Compared to other rating system standards, “waste and pollution” was distinctively found as an important category for Myanmar. Energy-efficient architectural design was ranked as the highest priority among all criteria. These findings serve as a building block for the future development of a Myanmar green building rating system by revealing assessment categories and criteria that are most relevant to Myanmar’s built environment.

In response to international concern about climate change and environmental degradation, the Korean government recently began developing the new concept of the Green Building Index (GBI), which represents the overall quality of green buildings. As the initial stage of the developmental process, this research contrastively analyzed two green building comprehensive assessment methods: the Weighted Total Comprehensive Method (GBCC method) and Relative Efficiency Comprehensive Method (CASBEE method), by reconstituting GBCC with the concept of CASBEE and performing calculations in order to understand the characteristics of these methods. The analysis results demonstrated that there were big differences between the two methods. Even though the two buildings received the same total, they are not the same with respect to environmental efficiency, because the ratios of environmental quality (Q) and environmental load (L) in the total gain score were different. Therefore, when setting the grading standard, the characteristics of different comprehensive methods should be considered in order to make GBI a more rational and agreeable representative index.

Building Assessment

Sustainability is defined as it meets the needs of present without compromising the ability of future generation’s needs. Today the topic of sustainability has the urgent importance. Especially buildings consume large amount of energy and resources. Construction sector has great impact on environment. During construction process, occupancy, renovations and/or restorations and demolition, buildings consume energy, water and sources. They are also generating waste and emit harmful atmospheric emissions. Since 1990’s countries had issued a series green building assessment scheme. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) developed by United States of America, Building Research Establishment’s Assessment Method (BREEAM) developed by United Kingdom and German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) developed by Germany are the most commonly used. There is now a proliferation of standards, rating and certification systems to assistance in order to deliver sustainable building in the marketplace. It is estimated that there are nearly 600 green certifications around the world. Green building rating programs vary in their approach with some outlining prerequisites and optional credits. Turkey and Bulgaria have some historical partnerships. So it can be useful to compare current situation of two countries in terms of green building certification. The comparison includes certification systems used in two countries. Bulgaria mainly depends on DGNB which is originally German evaluation system. Besides this some projects took LEED and BREEAM, as in Turkey. But the important difference in two countries is that Turkey has been developing its local system that is called Turkish Green Building Council (BEST). Thus in this paper the comparison mainly depends on BEST and DGNB. And also the certified projects in two countries are compared quantitatively. The benchmarks of two systems are compared in terms of similarities and differences. The characteristics of either standard system were summarized and some suggestions for improving Turkey’s evaluation standard for green building were proposed

Green buildings are becoming an essential part of sustainable development. There have been several research trends for green buildings since 1995. The present study presents a roadmap for green/sustainable research trends and proposes a new green building rating system for existing buildings. A questionnaire was established and answered by experts, where answers were analyzed using the decision-making tool Analytical Hierarchy Process. Analytical Hierarchy Process is responsible for weighing and ranking the weights of alternatives. A novel checklist for existing buildings was structured and consisted of seven main categories, each comprised of different subcategories with different weights according to their importance and priority. The newly proposed rating system and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for maintenance and renovations were both used to evaluate a Nile University building in Egypt in order to identify how the environment affects the results of each rating system. The results showed that each rating system has its own criteria in evaluating the sustainability level of the building, which are each based on the country’s cultural and environmental conditions.

Adoptive Green Building is the practice of creating structures and using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout life cycle from the selection to its operation. The central goal of  paper  towards green buildings are to facility management and training in the operation issues and it extend to include efficient use of energy water and  save other resources as well as the reduction of waste, pollution and environmental degradation. Time management approach in the search of library required material identifies the critical importance of saving energy by the building occupants/user. In addition as air and lighting quality. LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a non- profit international organisation give points based green building certification. Buildings are a series of systems including the structure not just the structure or the form and shape of the building. Green must be sustainable to be successful. It is not an instantaneous thing. Green Design must be measurable interms of performance.

Hospitals are the major contributor to environmental corruption and the biggest drain onenergy in their life cycle because they are complex, multifunctional giant facilities. Several recent studieshave been carried out to find the most suitable solutions to reduce energy consumption provide it on-siteand contribute to supporting economic, environmental and social aspects. The reason for the slowmovement of green buildings for hospitals is to focus on a suitable design for the complex function thatdeals with the local climate, natural resources, economy and cultural values and avoid the one-size-fits alldesign. This made the solutions used multiple and varied, different for greening of the hospital and put theresearch in the absence of a clear perception of the mechanisms of the application of green architecture inhospitals and this identified the problem of research. Therefore, the study looked at an analytical study ofexisting project models designed according to the strategies and standards of green architecture todetermine the strategies adopted in each project, and by adopting the analytical method after determiningthe strategy used in each building to achieve the green architecture and then comparing them according tothe standards adopted using the global LEED system Green Building Council. The results that will bereached are the mechanisms of applying Green Architecture to Hospitals.
