Currently, Vietnam does not have a set of Green Building certificates issued by the Ministry of Construction, but only applies some basic and popular certificates of the world. GREEN WORK CERTIFICATION SYSTEMS Green Building Certification Systems (such as LOTUS, LEED, Green Mark, etc.) are standards that help evaluate green buildings. The Green Building Certification System is the basis for: - evaluate project performance - certification to meet environmental standards through a third party facilitate integrated design and construction processes - ensure the project complies with current regulations DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CERTIFICATE SYSTEMS LEED: A comprehensive green building certification system, developed in the US and suitable for projects towards international brand recognition. The requirements of the LEED are mainly relevant to the construction markets in developed countries rather than developing countries. LOTUS: A comprehensive green building certification system developed for the construction market in Vietnam. The requirements of LOTUS are adjusted to suit the construction industry practice, State regulations and climate conditions in Vietnam. EDGE: The certification system focuses on the Energy, Water and Contained Energy criteria of Materials, suitable for projects with the goal of minimizing resource consumption. Green Mark: Singapore's green building certification system. Green Mark's standards are mainly suitable for the construction market in developed countries.

Hello Hoang, this is your mentor Chelwoon.
Well written article about differences among various green building certification programs! As mentioned in this article, LEED is mainly used in developed countries. While some developing countries have their own certification systems, some others do not because they need to make preparations for basic environmental infrastructure first. I hope many Asian countries, including Korea, Vietnam and India, will set a good example for other developing countries which still do not have their own systems.
Thank you for the article!
Regards,
Chelwoon

Hello Hoang, this is your mentor Joon.
Different articles regarding Green Building Certification Programs were posted, but not many of them compared, and showed differences between each certification systems. In some regions, more than one certification programs are running with similar purposes. This sometimes give confusions to those not having sufficient knowledge and therefore, article like this is absolutely necessary so that people could easily find out the difference. Hope other people write more articles regarding differences of green certification programs being held on other field.
Well read your article, and let's keep up!
Best,
Joon
