2.6 Green Building Rating Systems

2.6 绿色建筑评级体系

English（英文原文）	中文（中文翻译）
In order for green building strategies to be widely adopted, there needs to be a way for stakeholders (e.g., developers, owners, building practitioners, occupants, and community members) to distinguish them from conventional building practices.	为使绿色建筑策略被广泛采用，需要有一种方式让利益相关方（如开发商、业主、建筑从业者、使用者和社区成员）将其与传统建筑实践区分开来。
To address this need, many organizations have responded by creating systems that define green building and rate buildings' performance. This allows the market to recognize and promote buildings that uphold the pillars of sustainability (environmental stewardship, human health and well-being, and economic prosperity). This also allows the people who design, construct, and operate buildings to have a recognized framework and guidance.	为满足这一需求，许多组织已通过创建定义绿色建筑并评定建筑性能的系统来回应。这使得市场能够认可和推广坚持可持续性支柱（环境管理、人类健康与福祉、经济繁荣）的建筑。这也使设计、建造和运营建筑的人员拥有公认的框架和指导。
The most widely used green building system in the world is the LEED® green building rating system™. LEED certification provides a playbook for healthy, efficient, and cost-saving green buildings. It is a globally recognized symbol of sustainability achievement and supports green design, construction, and operation.	全球使用最广泛的绿色建筑体系是 LEED® 绿色建筑评级体系™。LEED 认证为健康、高效和节约成本的绿色建筑提供了操作手册。它是全球公认的可持续发展成就象征，支持绿色设计、建造和运营。
LEED will be discussed in more detail in Chapter 3: Introduction to LEED.	LEED 将在第 3 章：LEED 简介中详细讨论。
