American LEED-ND Green Community Certification Self-assessment Software Research And Development

Since the industrial revolution, the rapid economic development has broughtunprecedented prosperity to human material civilization, but also accelerated theconsumption of energy resources. In recent years, conventional energy sources becomemore shortage, the uncontrolled development of whole society, making the environmentpollution more serious. The seriousness of energy resource and environmental issuespromote sustainable development, which is the global strategy for the harmoniousdevelopment of man and nature. Construction is a high energy consumption industrieswhich have an enormous impact on the environment, the global strategy of sustainabledevelopment promoted the development of green buildings. If the construction industrywants to promote the global energy conservation, green building is bound to become thedevelopment trend, so the Green Building Rating System will come into being.This paper first introduces the definition and development of green buildingevaluation system, elaborated the development status of the major green building ratingsystem domestic and international, including the BREEAM of UK, the GBC ofMultinational, the LEED in the United States, China’s "Green Olympics EvaluationSystem" and "Green Building Evaluation Criteria" and so on. And focus on U.S. GreenCommunity certification system LEED-ND, including its organization, the version ofthe development, structuring, evaluation content and scores, analysis of China’s firstawarded the LEED-ND certified Community-Modern MOMA energy-saving measures.Take advantage of the Visual Basic programming language and based on the U.S.Green Community certification system LEED-ND, in order to develop a self-assessmentsoftware, including software development ideas, chapters divided control introductionand development software program code and with software interface drawing andprocedure coding detail explanation of the software development process.This paper also pointed out the inadequacies of the software. But today’s awarenessof the increasing emphasis energy conservation environmental protection, and carbonemission reduction, along with the trend of the development of green buildingconstruction industry, this green building certification self-assessment softwareoperation is simple operation, easy to use, it will promote awareness of green building, accelerate the popularization of green building, accelerate research Green BuildingRating System, and also have some theoretical and practical significances for resourceconservation, environmental protection, rapid and healthy development of greenbuilding.
