Abstract

Green building evaluation systems are of significant importance for the development and implementation of green buildings. This paper compares and analyzes China's ESGB "Assessment Standard for Green Building" GB/T50378-2019 (2024 Edition), the United States' LEED V4.1, and Republic of Korea's G-SEED "Green Building Certification Standards" through research. By comparing aspects such as indicator types, evaluation objects, evaluation methods, and grade classifications, this paper summarizes the deficiencies and areas requiring further optimization in China's green evaluation standard system, proposes solutions aligned with ESGB, and offers recommendations for the development of existing evaluation systems.
