Abstract

Green building has received a great deal of attention at the beginning of the 21st century due to growing concerns about the ecological state of the environment. The growing demand for green buildings has led to the need for some evaluation, namely, the certification of these buildings according to a set of defined criteria. This has led to the emergence of numerous systems for evaluating green building. This article compares the 3 most common green building evaluation systems to determine their similarities and differences for future use. Currently, there are 6 evaluation criteria as a basis for comparison in each of the studied evaluation systems. This article shows that the most common evaluation criteria are energy efficiency, water efficiency, waste management, environmental impact, safety and comfort. This review contributes to both theoretical and practical assessment of green building.
