Highlighting Challenges Facing Evaluation Systems in Egypt

Abstract

The paper investigates sustainable trends and building evaluation systems with an emphasis on local implementation issues. It compares local and worldwide rating systems using an inductive-deductive-analytical-comparative methodology Previous studies have revealed that GPRS did not adhere to the Egyptian Building Code, highlighting the necessity for context-appropriate national categorization criteria.  The study draws attention to the shortcomings of environmental assessment techniques, such as the absence of thorough data, the complexity of the ecosystem, and the engagement of stakeholders. It also draws attention to the need for better strategies, taking into account things like pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, and variations in climate and nature as well as construction codes. It also draws attention to the difficulties in putting Green Pyramid Rating System (GPRS) into practice in Egypt because of cheap energy costs, and a lack of knowledge. A minimum GPRS certification score and incentives should be instituted by the government.
