The necessity of the certification system for individual buildings, both at home and abroad, is spreading throughout the building industry, and the certification standards of each country are also becoming effective systems through trial and error. On the other hand, complex development, neighborhood design, further urban design and urban development stages have greater impact on the urban environment than individual buildings, and the necessity of an green building certification system is continuously raised. This study examines the LEED for Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) certification standards for neighborhood development projects, established and operated by the Green Building Council in the United States. By analyzing the detailed criteria of the items with high application rate, we derived the key elements that represent the ultimate purpose and direction of LEED-ND. Based on this, it is intended to provide the basic data necessary for the improvement and supplementation of the concept of green neighborhood in Korea to be extended to the urban environment level beyond the individual building-oriented standards.
