| Abstract |
The improvements of G-SEED standards was studies in this research by comparing the composition, rating scores, and standards, including categories, issues and criteria of BREEAM in the UK. In this research, it was found that both certification systems had very similar composition and rating system, however, there was slight difference in the points of emphasizing the standards due to the differences in social awareness of green buildings in each country. As a result of the detailed comparison of both standards, in addition, it was found that almost half of criteria had different evaluation approaches such as evaluation methods and scopes between both standards even though they had same evaluation objectives; some of the differences were due to the social or cultural differences between the countries, and the others were not. Through the research, we were able to derive some criteria that need for improvements of G-SEED considering the domestic conditions in Korea. |
