U.S. Green Building Council
The U.S. Green Building Council (http://www.usgbc.org/) has developed some definitions of what constitutes sustainable design of green buildings through its Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED [4] (http://www.usgbc.org/leed/) green building rating system.
The USGBC is just one of the organizations in the World attempting to define what green building design should entail. The Green Building Council of Australia has its own green buildings standard known as Green Star [5] (http://www.gbcaus.org).
