Abstract: This research briefly reviews the definition and the principles of green architecture, making a comparison between the global green building rating systems in respect to materials only. These systems are the [1, 2]Green Pyramid, BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environment Assessment Method), [3] LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and the [4] Green Star in the form of Credits %, importance and its Requirements. The research Aims to evaluate the green building material systems in Egypt and propose the suitable score and elements to the Egyptian society to evaluate materials that suit available technology in the Egyptian environment.
