This study presents a comparative analysis of the
sustainability performance of LEED certified multi family residential projects
implemented in Turkey. Two distinct groups of projects, holding Gold and Silver
certification levels respectively, were examined. The projects were evaluated
based on seven primary criteria established by the LEED certification system:
Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and
Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, Innovation, and Regional Priority
Credits. A total of over 35 projects were included in the analysis, with their
criterion specific scores and overall certification points reviewed. The data
were sourced from official LEED certification reports and analyzed using
quantitative methods. Mean scores and standard deviations were calculated to
identify performance differences between projects. Additionally, qualitative
data such as project type and ownership were incorporated into the evaluation. The
results indicate that Gold certified projects generally demonstrate higher
performance compared to Silver certified ones. Gold projects exhibited
significant advantages in critical criteria such as energy efficiency and
sustainable site utilization. Nevertheless, areas with potential for
improvement were identified across both groups. Notably, differences were
observed among projects in terms of material usage and innovative applications.
This study provides an important reference for assessing the quality and
efficiency of sustainable building practices. The findings offer guidance for
reducing environmental impacts and advancing sustainability objectives within
the residential sector.
There are no
commercial or institutional affiliations between the institutions and projects
included in this study.
