The existing evaluation standard for green buildings in China is an approach of post-assessment and partial-evaluation for a community. It is essential to formulate an assessment for rating the low carbon community coving its whole life process. This paper articulates the standard for rating a low carbon community through the whole process of its project feasibility, planning, construction, and operation. The aim of it is to promote the low carbon development by applying this standard to such projects of community construction.
