Özet:

The LEED system, developed and still in use by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) in the United States, is a green building certification system that is widely used in construction projects worldwide. This system, which is often preferred in Turkey, encourages the use of sustainable applications in construction projects on various issues, including energy efficiency, and scores over different credit categories. According to the score gained, buildings are entitled to obtain certificates at different levels. The highest rating in the version that LEED has developed for new buildings is the credit category, energy and atmosphere category. The objectives of these loans are to improve energy efficiency, monitor the target efficiency occurring during the use of the building, encourage the use of renewable energy and the use of carbon emissions reducing technologies. In this study, the performance in the energy and atmospheric credit category of buildings with the green building certification using the LEED system in Turkey was analyzed using the points they earned. The level of implementation of the system, which was largely developed according to the conditions of the U.S. construction sector, in Turkish construction projects has been studied. Furthermore, successful sustainable construction applications are aimed at bringing light to subsequent work by addressing the difficulties, obstacles and difficulties encountered in green building projects.
