Although many certification works have been carried out since Green Building Certification was enforced in 2002, analyses of the effects and efforts to improve this system are still poor. In the certification system, the energy performance was usually assessed by Energy Performance Index(EPI) of the Energy Saving Design Standards for Buildings. However, due to the inadequacy of analyses on current situation of the Index, there are difficulties to reform it. In this research of green-certified apartments, the author examined correlations between energy performance indexes and aimed to improve the Index by analyzing the scores based on point distribution of respective fields. The average EPI score of green-certified apartments was 74.68, and there was wide variations in min 63.4 and max 90. Furthermore, the average score of energy consumption, which was allotted the most points, was 7.04 out of 12. Therefore, betterments in the Index such as reinforcement in grade ranges and adjustment of the calculation method are necessary.

Green Building Certification Program, which was first introduced to residential buildings in Korea in 2002, has been put on track. This program is expected to bring about the effect in the economic viewpoint that was based on a life-cycle-cost analysis, not to mention the environmental viewpoint. However, given the fact that the existing model for feasibility analysis focusing on early investment cost can hardly be applicable to the green buildings because of lacking the life-cycle-cost reduction factor, it remains still difficult to conduct an objective evaluation. The study thus was intended to identify the factors that should be additionally considered in conducting the feasibility study to be implemented through the analysis of the certification items of green buildings as a preliminary study in structuring the evaluation model for feasibility analysis of green buildings.

Green Building Certification System currently going into effect is a static evaluation model. Therefore, as far as the sustainable development of certification system is concerned, further long-term evaluation is required. The main purpose of this study is to offer a model in a way of developing and verifying a dynamic model in Green Building Certification. A dynamic model development has been given System Dynamics based on the causal structure. Thus, this study focused on searching the causal structure of certification criteria and verifying the reality of the model through simulation processing after developing a model. In conclusion, the development of dynamic evaluation method can be attributed to systematic evaluation for the criteria of Certification System.

이제 하나의 건축물을 짓는다는 것은 단순히 건물을 짓는다는 개념을 넘어 지구환경을 생각한다는 것을 의미하는 일이 되고 있다. 이러한 시대에 발맞춰 미국에서 시작된 녹색건물인증제도인 LEED가 국내에도 서서히 그 이름을 알리고 있다. 자연과 공존할 수 있는 생활환경에 대한 사람들의 관심이 커지는 시점에서 한국 LEED 연구소 브래드 박 소장은 친환경 건축에 대한 자신의 소신을 들려주었다. 앞으로 변화될 국내 친환경 건축 시장과 LEED의 상관관계에 대해서 브래드 박 소장의 얘기를 들어보기로 한다.

In the United States, the implementation of the LEED green building rating system has dramatically changed the construction industry to motivate construction participants to employ green building approaches into projects. The objectives of green building rating systems are to achieve the triple bottom line benefits including economic, social and environmental benefits that are able to not only provide an excellent amenity to building users, but also to reduce environmental problems associated with buildings and accomplish financial benefits. Since the implementation of green building features has many benefits, the purpose of this study is to identify occupants' satisfaction of green building and the transformation of occupants'' attitude toward sustainability by conduct an in-depth case study of the cutting-edge green building project located in Atlanta, GA, USA. Based on this case study, it is possible to suggest construction participants in Korea to identify how green building can improve occupants'' satisfaction of the building and change their attitude toward sustainability.

This study aims to suggest a direction to develop Korea's certification system by comparing the evaluation items between Korea's G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design) and Germany's sustainable building certification. A number of eco-friendly building certification systems are being implemented globally. On the other hand, mutually comparable evaluation items have not been suggested up until now. Therefore, international standards have been trying to establish evaluation criteria for eco-friendly buildings, and Germany's sustainable building certification is the first certification standard that has accepted those evaluation criteria. According to the result of comparing Korea's green building certification with Germany's sustainable certification, the green building certification has evaluation items not only on environmentality (62.6%), but also on social aspects (25.4%) and economic aspects (3.0%). This suggests a crucial direction to the development of evaluation items regarding the social and economic aspects of green building certification.

As more serious environmental problems of buildings, many researchers have recognized the importance of preserving the environment where we live as well as a necessity of developing architecture with eco-environmentally. As a result, our country and some advanced countries have tried to solve these problems in that developed green building assessment tools for estimating environmental performance of buildings. Among many kinds of buildings, hospital which have been relation with human beings has been laking in basic raw materials of researching hospital's environment. Especially, there are few materials about indoor environment of hospital. So, the facilities of patients not only have to depend on the quality of natural environment but be also taken into account of patients. The purpose of this study is to prepare the basic data to develop the items of indoor environmental assessment for hospital to improve the quality of hospital's indoor environment. To come to a conclusion, we used a method of comparing domestic green building certification criteria, LEED v.2.2 and GBTool 2005. Then, we analyzed them for the case studies. Consequently, we could grasp basic data to assist in effecting domestic green building certification criteria for hopital. Furthermore, we have made a progressive research about setting grades of it.

This paper is to draw basic data for the revitalization of the sustainable buildings and the improvement of sustainable building design technology in Korea by analysing the design techniques of sustainable building and the application of the techniques applied to the large volume buildings through the study of foreign cases. This study introduces the design elements of sustainable building applied to the two winter sports stadia and one convention centre which have recently completed for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Canada and analyses the design techniques of sustainable building by the lists of LEED Green Building Rating System as well.
