to a great amount of energy consumption, adverse impact on the environment, and
ineffective use of resources in construction industry; the idea of sustainable
construction is recognized in all over the world. Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most widely used green building
certification systems. Energy and Atmosphere category contributes to the
maximum possible points in the LEED certification system at most. In this
research, LEED certified buildings in Europe, Russia, Turkey and the U.S. were
compared in terms of Energy and Atmosphere. For the overall understanding of
sustainable construction practices, buildings in Russia and Turkey were
compared according to all main categories. The findings suggest that buildings
in Russia have a significant lack of ensuring On-site Renewable Energy credit
category, compared to Europe, Turkey and the U.S. Apart from Turkey, which is
at worst in terms of Green Power credit category, all three region have
achieved less points in On-site Renewable Energy. In terms of all main credit
category comparison, the findings indicate that the need for Material and
Resource, and Energy and Atmosphere are of paramount significance in both
Russia and Turkey.
