Abstract

The countries around the world have developed and operated systems which assesses the environment-friendliness of buildings. The levels of certification systems differ to the circumstances by countries such as weather conditions and natural features. This study compared Korea’s certification system of Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design (G-SEED) to LOTUS, a Vietnamese certification system and checked the operating methods. Especially the certification criteria of non-residential buildings were comparatively analyzed. Certification criteria in G-SEED and LOTUS certification systems have similar categories and weights. Regarding certification items, there are similar items in terms of assessment methods. However, some items are assessed separately by each system. The results of this study would be available as fundamental data for developing an international certification system for G-SEED. This study could be available as a reference in the development of global certification system in the future.
