Abstract
Several green assessment systems, such as LEED in North America, BREEAM in UK, CASBEE in Japan, GBTool in Canada have been discussed in this paper, especially focus on the similarities and differences. These systems could be used to evaluate the environmental impact of various construction projects, to set up the standard for related assessment as well. They have similar sustainable concerns: sustainable site selection, energy efficiency, water efficiency, sustainable material and resource, and indoor environment quality. However, each one put different ratio on these categories.A review in the state-of-the-act of the green assessment system has been done in this paper, and some important findings have been highlighted in tables. Consequently, some hotspot issues, such as why LEED is preferred in China, how to use it in a proper way, and what can we do with the still existed challenges are discussed.
