Global Green Building Construction Systems: Comparative Analysis and Adaptation for Uzbekistan

Abstract

This paper presents a detailed comparative study of leading global green building certification systems, including LEED, BREEAM, DGNB, and EDGE. These systems differ significantly in structure, methodology, climate adaptability, and sustainability assessment approaches. The study highlights the importance of adapting international frameworks to Uzbekistan’s unique climatic and socio-economic conditions. Uzbekistan experiences extreme seasonal temperature variations and rapid urban growth, necessitating localized performance indicators for sustainability evaluation. Based on comparative findings, the paper outlines a conceptual model for a hybrid national certification system tailored to Uzbekistan’s needs, integrating renewable energy use, thermal performance standards, water conservation, and life-cycle analysis. The study serves as a foundation for developing an automated building sustainability assessment tool that incorporates both global best practices and country-specific requirements
