Research on green project certification in China based on LEED and GBES

Abstract

With the continuous development of China's economy, the energy-efficient building and green building initiative of China has increasingly become the concern of people at home and abroad, inside and outside the industry. Firstly, this paper analyses and compares the application background of two green certification systems, LEED in the United States and GBES in China. Then, we study the annual number, regional distribution, level distribution and regional distribution of professional certification personnel of GBES and LEED certification programs. The results show that the number of green certification projects in China is increasing rapidly yearly, but there are some regional differences. The overall certification level is 2 star (gold level), and there's no match for the green program for the less qualified professional. Based on the above situation, this paper puts forward corresponding development suggestions. Firstly, on the basis of policy and financial support, the comprehensive development of green certification programs will be gradually promoted from the developed regions to the developing regions and from the south to the north. Secondly, we should promote the development of two-star (gold) certification programs with moderate incremental costs and good ecological benefits. Finally, it is necessary to fully introduce and increase the number of professional certification personnel and consulting agencies of certification.
