| Abstract | This project report provides an introduction to, and a practical evaluation of, green building development. For the past decade the concept has become well-known in the developed world, but still a challenge for developing and emerging economies, especially. The study focuses in the first place on the concept of green building as part of a practical approach to sustainable development, which is nowadays an emerging and even urgent issue for global development. It goes on to discuss and evaluate the same subject but in a more practical methodology in a case study where the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System™ is introduced as one of the desired measures. What is of special interest is that the practicality and applicability are evaluated and analysed for adoptability in Vietnam, a developing country facing serious developmental and environmental problems. The LEED concept and adoptability have been taken into special consideration not only by Government strategic decision-makers, but more significantly by designers in the construction industry. From this introduction, more will hopefully be detailed and reflected in future design works as a contribution to the built environment and construction innovations |
