Abstract :The green building rating systems have been used as a tool to evaluate the environmental impact of buildings since 1990. In Turkey, LEED is in the first place concerning the total number of certified green buildings and then followed by BREEAM and DBGN. This paper aims to give general information concerning the 287 certified green buildings, and further investigate an updated situation of credit success rates of 127 LEED new construction certified green buildings in Turkey. The results of the study show that the certified green buildings in Turkey have a lower average percentage of credit success rates in indoor environmental quality, energy efficiency and material and resources categories compared with the other groups.Keywords : LEED, Credit success, sustainable development, Turkey
