The criteria for environmental standards in construction include requirements for organizing a sustainable territory, reducing the consumption of water and energy resources, using environmentally friendly materials, rational waste management, and creating a favorable microclimate for users. The main goal is to study architectural, technological and environmental aspects in international (LEED, BREEAM) and Russian (GOST R 70346-2022, GOST R 54964-2012, KLEVER, GREEN ZOOM) systems that influence the formation of the architectural environment in Russian cities. The research methodology used is complex with mathematical analysis of requirements and their comparison. The distribution of criteria is not balanced. Engineering and technological activities predominate. It is necessary to increase the criteria for environmentally friendly architectural and planning solutions. The role of the architect in the certification of the object should be increased.
