Abstract
The green building rating systems have been used as a tool to evaluate the environmental impact of buildings since 1990. In Turkey, LEED is in the first place concerning the total number of certified green buildings and then followed by BREEAM and DBGN. This paper aims to give general information concerning the 287 certified green buildings, and further investigate an updated situation of credit success rates of 127 LEED new construction certified green buildings in Turkey. The results of the study show that the certified green buildings in Turkey have a lower average percentage of credit success rates in indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency and material and resources categories compared with the other groups.
期刊介绍:
The scope of Teknik Dergi is naturally confined with the subjects falling in the area of civil engineering. However, the area of civil engineering has recently been significantly enlarged, even the definition of civil engineering has somewhat changed.
Half a century ago, engineering was simply defined as “the art of using and converting the natural resources for the benefit of the mankind”. Today, the same objective is expected to be realised (i) by complying with the desire and expectations of the people concerned and (ii) without wasting the resources and within the sustainability principles. This change has required an interaction between engineering and social and administrative sciences. Some subjects at the borderline between civil engineering and social and administrative sciences have consequently been included in the area of civil engineering.
Teknik Dergi defines its scope in line with this understanding. However, it requires the papers falling in the borderline to have a significant component of civil engineering.
