ABSTRACT

This paper addresses the emergence of green building rating systems. Industry-run non profits responsible for their development are still revising these systems while rival systems continue to emerge. The United Kingdom’s BREEAM standard has prompted other systems including the American LEED program. As federal and municipal level agencies adopt these rating systems for both public and privately-funded development projects, new legal issues will arise. Green building is a key element for future sustainable development that permits economic growth while preserving environmental standards. The new frontier in this area will be in legal challenges to these practices which go beyond the issues faced in traditional building projects. Korea can learn from these rating system and develop its system to match international standard for green building.
