Abstract
One of the reasons causing these problems is ignoring sustainability
aspects when building in Egypt.
Therefore, building codes considering sustainability assessments can
help in solving or at least appeasing the effect of these problems as
well as controlling future problems.
Sustainability assessment through the use of specialised rating
systems is a model which is steadily gaining acclaim in the built
environment professions. These systems aim to associate techniques,
effects and design philosophies with the promotion of the (now
familiar) concept of sustainability.
This research aim is proposing guidelines for sustainability
assessment rating system for Egypt. This is performed by reviewing
existing international sustainability assessment rating systems,
analyzing them and concluding on their applicability in Egypt.
LEED, BREEAM, CASBEE the top three sustainability assessment
systems used worldwide are described in details in this research with
an application case study for each. Based on the analysis of the three
processes and comparing them, the research proposes a guideline
sustainability assessment rating system for Egypt. The proposed system is based mainly on LEED system due to its flexibility with
additions from BREEAM systems that are absent in LEED system.
CASBEE is disregarded because it is a very different approach, and
highly complex way.
