After incoming the notion of eco-friendly building, many organizations developed green building assessment programs and in the late of 2001, those programs were unified to one program, 'Green Building Certification(GBC)'. Many problems, however, arose after unification of programs and now the study to solve those problems is impending. The purpose of this study is to make suggestions to solve problems of GBC through analyzing characteristics of several abroad and well developed programs. The key points of the analysis were 1) characteristics of assessment organizations, 2) structures of programs, and 3) characteristics of assessment methods and systems. The results of the study showed that GBC didn't have any positive connections with the academia, the developer and the consumer, and did have lack of assessment efficiency and accuracy.

Architecture has a large influence in the environment and human health. Therefore eco-friendly concept and sustainable development are important in Architectural field. This study aims to analyze impact of green building rating system on an apartment housing CO₂ emission using multiple regression analysis. But in this result, green building rating system has no effect on CO₂ emission. So, future study is required to analyze factors of green building rating system on the CO₂ emission.

This study has certified green school facility into a target of 10 cases, and obtain a certificate of our own sector application, and scoring rate of Green Building Certification Analyze problems is derived. The study in Green Building Certification by School Facilities through the plan is aimed at providing basic data for designers and associated personnel. This study of Eco-friendly School Buildings and subsequent certification review and evaluation based on the study improved through active to expect.

This study aims to understand the environmental impact reduction of green buildings that are certified by Green standard for energy and environmental design(G-SEED). To ensure this end, this study assessed and compared the environmental impacts(global warning, ozone layer depletion, acidification, and eutrophication) of a G-SEED-certified elementary school building(green building) and an uncertified elementary school building(traditional building) using the life cycle assessment methodology. This study considered the environmental impacts from the material manufacturing, material transportation, on-site construction, and operation during 40 years. The comparison of the environmental impact intensity of two buildings showed that the green building generated much more environmental impacts than the traditional building. For example, the global warming potential of the green building was approximately 12.5% higher than of the traditional building since the global warming potential of the green building was 3.751 $t-CO_2eq./m^2$ while that of the traditional building was 3.282 $t-CO_2eq./m^2$. It signifies that the G-SEED doesn't guarantee the reduction of the environmental impacts in terms of four impact categories. Therefore, the G-SEED should be complemented and improved to achieve the environmental impact reduction.

Recently, as the concern over environmental problem has been serious all over the world, carbon has become a key issue to mitigate the problem. In the field of Architecture, various sustainable assessment systems and LCCO2 assessment strategies have been developed, guiding low carbon building while planning. However, assessment system for low carbon neighborhood, which can be more efficient strategy, is still in the stage of research. In this paper, as a research for low carbon assessment system and planning guideline for neighborhood, scope meeting domestic condition has been set and sustainable assessment system for neighborhood, which is similar to low carbon concept, have been compared. LEED-Neighborhood Development, BREEAM-Communities, CASBEE-Urban Development, and GBCC-Apartment Houses were used for comparison. As a result, it is found that those systems has many differences in judging system, aggregating method, scope of evaluation, and relations with a building assessment system. The concern about carbon is not insufficient yet. Finally, assessment system for low carbon neighborhood, which is not only for establishing the plan, but also for giving guideline at the very first state of the plan, should be developed as fast as passible. With the result of this paper, establishment of assessment criteria and the way to measure quantitative $CO_2$ should be studied forward.

As environmental issues are rising recently efforts to reduce environmental stress are emerging in all industry segments. Especially environmental impact of buildings occupy a critical portion, so each country is operating green building rating system for life cycle of buildings. Accordingly green building rating system for every facility is operating in Korea. And acquisition of grade I for building energy efficiency is mandatory for every new public buildings since 2010. To design green building efficiently and systematically eco-friendly elements should be considered and checked from the schematic design phase. But in many cases eco-friendly elements are checked at the end of constructed design phase. So applying eco-friendly elements at the value engineering process, which is performing through schematic and constructed design phase, could make a efficient and systematic green building design. Value engineering process is divided into pre workshop, workshop and post workshop stages. And subject selection in pre workshop stage is the step that finds out the subjects which has the great possibility to be improved to perform efficient value engineering workshop. So this study present the Green VE subject selection model to select the most considerable eco-friendly subjects in projects.

Green is an important keyword in the almost modern development. Green building is an alternative idea for the sustainable growth. Maximizing the green technological effect, this study provide you analyses of certified cases of LEED and green building strategies in accordance with use of building. And each changes on grades will show that development about green building technology with usage of building. We can get the accurate viewpoint through detailed studies about green buildings in USA.

Many countries have made their best to protect the earth from global warming and to find solutions for the reduction of carbon dioxide emittion and energy consumption. Especially, buildings have emitted over 40% of carbon dioxide against whole quantities emitted to the earth. Therefore, the reduction of carbon dioxide emitted from buildings require to save the earth environment. Energy consumption of buildings in Korea has reached 24% of total energy quantities, and energy consumption of collective housing has been continuously increasing. So, Korea government has also executed the Green Building Certification Criteria(GBCC). The GBCC evaluates the 8 types of buildings - collective housing, office, school, etc - to certificate the green building. In this paper, the evaluation items of collective housing in GBCC were reviewed to be used as the reference data for future revisions by the case studies. According to the results of this study, current version of GBCC requires additional revisions about the evaluations of energy consumption monitoring, commissioning and existing building.
