A Research on Selecting the Green Building Certification System Suitable for Turkey

Abstract

Since the sustainable development is considered one of the most significant global concerns, its goals are legislated by several countries to guarantee the project compliance. Therefore, the important issue of development is to ensure the project compliance with the sustainability requirements. With this paper, a methodology is presented based on the strategy to find the most important standards and criteria which must be considered in the development of a green building certification system in Turkey. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique has been adopted at this paper by determining criteria and sub-criteria from the literature. Moreover, interviews have been implemented with experts whom are from different backgrounds, i) academicians, ii) professional consultants and iii) decision makers for the government.  By the use of criteria and sub-criteria which are considered significant in line with the green building and sustainability studies, the questionnaire has been developed by the AHP software (Expert choice 11.5 academic version) is completed by the experts. The results of the used techniques clarified that economy (cost) and effectiveness are considered the most significant standards for the green building certification system in Turkey. Whereas, the entire valuation achievement, registration and certification costs, and adaptableness and consistency are the most significant sub-criteria.
