Abstract

This paper will present the development of a tool for the analysis and determination of the Green Potential (GP) of existing buildings. The tool, derived from the Israel Green Buildings Standard SI 5281, allows the quick evaluation of a single building or the comparison of different buildings in order to understand their potential, both by designers before their intervention or by planning authorities as ways of determining development plans. The development and logic of the tool will be explained and its use will be demonstrated through the analysis and comparisons of various iconic buildings in Israel, from the 1950-60's and contemporaries.
