摘要

Although practitioners and researchers in the Architectural, Engineering, and Constructionindustry recognize economic benefits to implementing sustainable practices in construction projects, theirperception of the extent, type, and size of those benefits is very different. Unlike practitioners, researchersbelieve there are significant long-term cost savings to implementing sustainable practices in the industry:savings that not only stem from energy efficiency in green buildings, but most importantly from health andproductivity improvements to indoor environments. Their view is that many green buildings could be builtat little to no additional cost. This comes at a time when practitioners remain skeptical about those claimsbecause of sustainable practices’ high initial costs, and uncertain long-term financial benefits. TheLeadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, widely used in the industry tomeasure the sustainability of green buildings, attests to that difference in perceptions. 41% of LEEDpoints address energy efficiency (when energy savings only make up 11% of total whole life cost savingsaccording to researchers), and 24% address productivity and health efficiency (when healthy andproductivity savings represent up to 78% of total whole life cost savings). This paper is part of a study thatinvestigates practitioners’ perception of the theories, results, and conclusions advocated by researchersin an attempt to understand why many practitioners adopt the stance they do. This work in progressfocuses on presenting the survey that was conducted among LEED accredited professionals in Canadato analyze their views from a practical standpoint. The survey assesses more specifically practitioners’awareness and understanding of results advocated by the research community, and their confidence inthe accuracy of those results and their applicability to the industry. It also analyzes their confidence in thedesign, and layout of the current version of LEED used for New Construction in Canada.
