Abstract
Sustainable building standards differ around the world due to differing development philosophies and local idiosyncrasies, hindering international comparative studies. In this study, the CASBEE standard used in Japan and the GBI used in Malaysia are compared. Using CASBEE as a baseline, items in each standard are matched, compared, and then filtered to only include those affecting end users. Differing levels in these items in both sustainable building standards are matched and are included in a survey of home buyer preferences. This allows for a single survey to be used to study sustainable housing preferences in both Japan and Malaysia.
