Abstract
The construction sector causes bad environmental effects. Consequently, several worldwide Green Building Rating Systems (GBRSs) have been created delivering a standard Credit Criteria (CC) for evaluating Green Building functioning. On the other hand, there is an obvious absence of study on determining a baseline to build novel Green Building Rating System and to assess the current Systems. Therefore, this study determines main Credit Criteria using a general literature review, and aims to assess these Criteria based on International Green Building Systems and Egyptian Green Pyramid System. The analysis is built on a numerical quantity which is acquired throughout giving credit values of chosen systems to the recognized main Credit Criteria. The assessment of these Credit Criteria can be assumed as a reference to create novel Green Building Rating System and it supplies effective outcomes to improve the current system further. It is discovered that 'Energy' yardstick is the greatest commonly believed main criteria and then followed by 'Water' criteria. On the other hand, Credit Criteria such as 'Financial aspects', 'Sustainable designing', 'Stakeholder relationships' and 'waste reduction' are recognized as potential Credit Criteria which can be involved in upgrading the assessment system in the future.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
