Abstract

We visualize the green building categories in the Israeli Sustainable (Green Buildings) Standard as well as in LEED (Leading in Energy and Environmental Design) as six layers: Site, Structure, Skin, Services, Space and Stuff, each reflecting their different lifetime scales and subsequently, their different environmental damages. A comparison between the two standards shows that the Israeli standard puts the emphasis in most categories on the building design layers that has long lifetime scales, while LEED puts more emphasis on the system design that has a shorter lifetime scale than the building design one.
