친환경 고밀 주거단지 개발을 위한 기준 연구- LEED 평가지표들과 미국 배터리파크 시티 개발 가이드라인의 비교를 중심으로

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness and adaptability of LEED rating systems, when theyare applied to large-scale, high-density developments. Toward this goal, the elements ofLEED-NC and LEED-ND are systematically compared to those of the Battery Park CityDevelopment (BPCD) guidelines, which consist of a series of guidelines for high-rise residentialbuilding developments located in New York City. The comparative analysis of 97 elements inthe LEED rating systems and BPCD guidelines identifies both common and different elementsof the two design standards. The difference in the elements may be caused by BPCD’shigh-density development, site characteristics, different sustainable technologies, and most of all,perspectives towards sustainability. Analysis of the elements revealed that the LEED ratingsystems need to consider the incorporation of some crucial sustainability elements forhigh-density developments; and some elements that are included in the building design phaseneed to be considered earlier, in the urban planning & design phase.
