The increasing consumption of energy and the
greenhouse-gas emissions are challenges in the transport and building sectors.
Compared to the other transportation types public railway transport systems are
the most energy efficient regarding carbon footprint. Modern urban railway
public transport systems have the significant advantages of large passenger
capacity, punctuality, safety, going green in the urban environment and
reducing carbon footprint, is a scientific consensus. However, the energy
demand for railways are increasing in proportion to passenger load, require
implementing innovative solutions for optimizing the energy consumption and
reducing carbon emission. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)
is a building rating system used worldwide. The credit categories of the LEED
consist of seven different topics from the Energy and Atmosphere to Materials
and Resources. In this study, the LEED certification application to railway
station and facilities will be discussed mainly energy efficiency criteria.
