The Effectiveness of the Green Building Evaluation and Labelling System
Environmental protection is becoming an important element in the construction industry. The Taiwan Architecture and Building Research Institute developed a Green Building Evaluation and Labelling System (GBELS) to transform its built environment. Nine indicators in GBELS are used for assessment including biodiversity, greenery, soil water content, daily energy saving, carbon dioxide emission reduction, waste reduction, indoor environment, water resource, and sewage and garbage improvement. GBELS mostly focuses on social-environmental benefits and neglects the demand of clients, designers and contractors. This paper evaluates the implementation and effectiveness of GBELS. Comparisons were made between GBELS and other assessment tools. Questionnaires and structured interviews were conducted. From the survey results, the nine indicators for GBELS are found to be insufficient to provide guidelines for the construction industry. Others are needed, including management, aesthetic, economic and innovative design, and traffic and transport. A level system for each indicator and total scoring system are added for GBELS to achieve better green building quality. Recommendations are given to improve GBELS and its possible applications in other countries.
