| dc.description.abstract | Sustainable buildings have been accepted as one of the most effective solutions among stakeholders in the construction industry to achieve the goal of promoting environmentally friendly, economic responsible and social harmonious built environment. Throughout the approximately thirty-year-evolving period, the notion of sustainability in building design has shifted from simply focusing on dealing with environmental issues to not only handling with energy, resources, and materials insufficiency but also fostering people’s well-being by accomplishing net-zero energy goals and promoting human-building interaction. As a result, numerous sustainable building assessment standards and rating tools have been created in the United States. As various differences existed among those certification standards and tools, it is of great necessity to conduct research targeting at analyzing the evolving trends of these significant tools and establishing a decision-making support framework to ease the standard selection process for responsible stakeholders, which are the two main research goals for this thesis paper. Besides, predictions of several sustainable building assessment standards and tools are summarized in this thesis, served as the forecasting vision for futuristic development of sustainable built environment. | |
