Abstract: The need to respect environmental considerations in terms of resource consumption and harmful production has led to formulate regulations for green building. While some countries have started developing green building rating systems, some others are following the existing systems. Iran does not comply with any of the existing systems due to political reasons and does not utilize such a system officially. The purpose of this study is to add environmental water attitudes to Madad's Green Building Model, which was developed solely on the basis of environmental climatic factors. The model of each city is a function of its climatic and demographic conditions and is implemented on the basis of expert advice and AHP methodology. The results of the monetary valuation studies were used to improve the selection of indicators and to accurately define their weighting in the model. The indicators in the current study are to reduce runoff volume, water consumption, and the reuse of grey-water. The assessment results of the study area showed that only 11% of these green building capabilities had been used.
