Abstract :The green buildings increased in the 2000s are about designing and operating structures in the light of sustainable principles. Although the certification systems encourage the development of the green building industry, certificated buildings’ expected performance difference in the occupancy leads to some problems. In order to identify the problems affecting the energy performance of buildings, six green LEED-NC certified office buildings in America were examined and benchmarked. In this research, sampling analysis method was used. Consequently, obtained data from both the demands for reduction of energy use and the increased demand for comfort in buildings were analyzed.
