Overview of Green Building Ratings

The document discusses green building rating systems, focusing on the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM). LEED, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council in 1998, aims to measure and compare green buildings and has various certification levels based on points earned. BREEAM, created in 1990, is widely used globally for environmental assessment and has certified over 116,000 buildings.

Design  (LEED)  
 
“Leadership  in  Energy  and  Environmental  Design”  (LEED)  was  developed  by  The  U.S.  Green  Building  Council  (USGBC)  in  
1998.    
 
The  aim  of  building  assessment  system  was  to  develop  a  method  to  measure  and  compare  “green  buildings”.  Meanwhile  
the  USGBC  has  over  20,000  members  and  more  than  125,000  LEED  Accredited  Professionals  (LEED  AP).  The  assessment  
system  has  been  published  in  1998  as  LEED  Version  1.0,  followed  by  Version  2.0  in  2000,  Version  2.1  in  2002,  Version  2.2  in  
2005  and  the  actually  valid  Version  3.0  in  2009.    ([Link],  2012  )

Assessment  Method  (BREEAM)  
 
BREEAM  is  the  [Link]  Building  Research  Establishment  (BRE)  Environmental  Assessment  Method  and  was  created  in  1990.  
In  that  .me  it  was  the  first  commercially  available  environmental  assessment  tool  for  buildings.  It  has  been  used  by  many  
other  [Link]  systems  as  their  development  basis.  BREEAM  is  a  widely  used  method  and  has  over  116,000  buildings  cer.fied  
and  nearly  714,000  registered  all  around  the  world.
