Abstract
Over the past decade, advancements in the built environment have led to the development of numerous building rating systems focused on various aspects of sustainability. The Brundtland Report defines sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," which emphasizes the importance of social, economic, technical, cultural, and environmental considerations in the building sector. This paper presents an extensive literature review of seven popular building rating systems—LEED (US), BREEAM (UK), CASBEE (Japan), GRIHA, LEED India, and IGBC—analyzing their macro areas and sustainability segments. It highlights the need for a comprehensive framework to assess buildings in terms of overall sustainability and identifies gaps and opportunities for improvement.
