Green rating systems development and trend worldwide for sustainable built environment: A comparative review2024 •
Sustainability has been increasing its popularity in construction development and evaluating the sustainability of a project has become a necessity. The construction industry has a serious impact on the environment. Sustainability rating systems have been established and deployed across the construction industry over the last decade to tackle and mitigate the environmental implications of construction projects. However, during the last few years, several organizations have begun to establish sustainable rating systems for construction projects. Various rating tools, on the other hand, use varied methodologies for measuring sustainability and place different emphases on different sustainability issues. As a result, a review of existing rating tools is required so that industry participants are aware of their functionalities as well as their sustainability initiatives. In this paper, a comparison of the 52 most prominent emerging sustainability green rating systems worldwide from 1990 to 2019 has been reviewed. The analysis indicates that all systems have a lot in common. Each rating system considers elements relating to the use and management of water, energy, and materials in particular. The procedure and execution requirements, as well as how weights are assigned among grading criteria, are the main differences. The comparison shows the benefits and drawbacks, as well as the aspects, applications, and goals of various approaches, and encourages further study into green rating systems for developing sustainable construction projects worldwide.

With the increasing awareness of sustainable development in the construction industry, implementation of a green rating procedure to assess buildings is becoming more important. The paper presents the comparative review of four prominent sustainable green building rating systems namely BREEAM, LEED, GREEN STAR and GRIHA. The main goal of this study to consider all aspect of the rating system in order to find out of best one(s). The study provides a deep insight into sustainable green building rating systems and can be recommendation and reference for users when choosing between rating systems.
The increasing attention to sustainability is pushing the construction sector to build more sustainable buildings. In this scenario, several sustainable development indicators have been proposed. The worldwide diffusion of sustainability rating systems and that of their structures are considered as proxy variables for the evaluation of sustainable constructions. Available rating systems span from energy consumption evaluation systems to life cycle analysis and total quality assessment systems. In these last systems, a multi-dimensional approach is proposed, as several building ratings are evaluated separately before being considered together. The description of assessment results from a sample of 490 buildings provides data to discuss construction characteristics that, currently, aim at being defined as sustainable. The paper shows that building energy performance is considered the most important criterion in sustainability rating systems, and the least achieved one in sustainability assessments. In contrast, other performance ratings of the building, such as water efficiency or indoor air quality, are achieved with a high rate of success in sustainability assessments.

Comparison of Indigenously developed Green Building Rating System -Outlining the Subtle Distinct Features2020 •
The main focus of this study is to outline the subtle distinct features in the "Energy" modules in green building grating systems i.e. Green Rating system for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) and Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). For which we will start up with the building model being simulated in an energy simulation software/tool that are certified by competent authorities. The results as obtained from the simulation of the proposed building model will be used. Since, there are different benchmarks for allotting credits for achieving minimum energy efficiency such as Energy Performance Index (EPI) in GRIHA and percentage savings in energy consumption cost in case of IGBC. Keyword: GRIHA, IGBC, eQuest, Green Building I. INTRODUCTION Buildings are key to a sustainable future because their design, construction, operation, and the activities in buildings contribute significantly to high energy consumption-reducing energy demand in buildings can play a pivotal role in reducing energy consumption and solving challenges that lies ahead. Energy services in buildings-HVAC systems for thermal comfort, refrigeration needs, lighting systems installed, communication and entertainment (such as Television's, Laptop's, other accessories), as well as other amenities are majorly responsible for a significant share of energy use worldwide. Several energy-related problems affecting human health and productivity take place in buildings, due to poor indoor air quality or inadequate indoor temperatures. Hence, this issue must also be addressed to improve occupant's health and increase efficiency of people working inside these buildings. Reports includes that India's National Development Council is centered around the building sector based on energy conservation, vowing to make its Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) stricter, featuring its local building rating system GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment), which is used for scaling the green building and energy efficient projects in the country. With rapid urbanization, as the quality of life improves, more and more people are being lifted above poverty line, and easy access to electricity. EIA projects that electricity's share in the total use of energy in buildings will nearly double in non-OCED countries, from 21% in 2018 to 38% in 2050 as compared to electricity's share of delivered energy consumption in OCED countries buildings will decrease from 24% to 21%. Kibert [1] through their research portrayed that Green buildings are built on the basis of ecological principles and the effective use of natural without compromising robust facilities. As per WGBC [2], Green building facilitates the preservation of precious natural resources and the improvement in the overall quality of life. The term Green Building can be easily understood in broader sense as the building or facility that consumes less amount of energy as compared to conventional buildings, reduces the dependency on energy supplied by grid, instead employs renewable energy sources, reduce their water demand through water harvesting and other techniques. The principle of "reduce, reuse and recycle" is relevant to green buildings. Zuo & Zhao [3] concluded that there is a need to evaluate the coverage of social and economic aspects of sustainability in green building rating and support the development of new ratings. Feng et al [4] Apart from short-term and long-term benefits that green building provides to its occupants, a green building needs to be economically rational. Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) is used to evaluate the relative significance among common components that contribute to sustainable buildings. Many rating systems that were studied were noticed to perform only a part of their originally intended objectives with energy efficiency taking the highest priority [5].
The sustainable building rating system is defined as tools that examine the performance or expected performance of a building and translate that examination into an overall assessment that allows for comparison against other buildings (Budds, 2019). For a rating system to add value to the sustainable design and or operation of a building it must offer a credible and consistent basis for comparison, evaluate relevant technical aspects of sustainable design and it should avoid complexities (Hedaoo, Sharad and Khese, 2016). All Green Rating systems provide guidelines on how to make a building “green” and some of them provide certification process, while other provides opportunities for voluntary compliance (Nguyen and Altan, 2011).

THE NEED FOR GREEN BUILDING RATING SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT FOR NIGERIA: THE PROCESS, PROGRESS AND PROSPECTThe literature on green building suggests the actuality and global concern of the phenomenon as a trend in sustainable building development. This paper is structured to review the process, progress and prospect of green building rating systems for stakeholders as a modern approach of building operation in the Nigerian building industry. For any nation to succeed in the implementation of sustainable built environment there is need to embrace the concept of green building which forms part of larger concept of “sustainable development”. Green or sustainable building design and construction are increasingly recognized as a clear answer to health, economic and environmental challenges, a large and growing number of government and private entities are requiring sustainable practices in their projects by incorporating green features into structures they are conceiving , designing, specifying, estimating, constructing planning or maintaining. This paper therefore aims to promote the development and establishment of a Green Building Rating System for Nigeria using the experience of the already established Green Building Councils world over as a case study. The paper also x-rays what the nation stands to benefit by developing a Nigeria based GBRS when it finally joins the rest of the world in developing workable strategies for sustainable built environment. This study concluded by making a strong case for a relevant GBRS framework as a tool to measure, monitor and manage the building processes to ensure success in sustainability. Keywords: Green building, Green building council, Green Building Rating System (GBRS), Sustainable development, Sustainable built environment.
