China's unit energy consumption of building area is two to three times higher than the developed countries with similar climatic conditions. The heavy energy burden of building industry has become a constraint to sustainable development of China's economy. Green building is the inevitable choice to change the severe situation in China. Green building is undoubtedly a great emerging market for the Chinese building industry in terms of environmental responsibilities and market benefits. LEED is operated successfully in the U.S and globally. This paper represents the comparison of US-China green building practice with respect to various aspects of the two green building rating systems and their practice in construction. The comparison was refined based on literature reviews, requests for information from certification system owners, and interviews with certification system users and members of the industry advisory group.
