This research report compares the similarities and differences between different Green Building Rating Systems (GBRSs), with a particular focus on energy-related requirements. GBRSs assess the environmental impact and sustainability in facilitating decarbonisation in the building sector. The purpose of the report is to determine whether existing GBRSs sufficiently facilitate decarbonisation in the building sector. Eight GBRSs were chosen for this comparative study: CGBL, BEAM Plus, BREEAM, Green Mark, Green Star, LEED, EDGE, and NABERS Energy. They are categorised into two main types: scoring-based rating systems and performance-based rating systems, based on their certification methodologies.
