Abstract: Abstract Recent years have witnessed the wide application of green buildings in the world. Properly measuring the performance of green buildings and comparing green schemes has been the cornerstone of governmental policies on energy conservation and carbon reduction, and play a crucial role in the formulation of competitive business strategies. At present, the academic community has given many evaluation methods for green buildings, but there are still many limitations, such as unscientific and inaccurate. Based on the existing disciplinary theory, this study introduces the “Benefit-Output” theoretical framework for evaluating green buildings, then a “Benefit-Output” conceptual model composed of physical and currency indicators is established. Based on this model, this research presents the gray correlation analysis method of combined weights to measure and compare the performance of multiple green projects. Through the comparison of three different types of examples in China, it is found that: the green building evaluation is more effective under the “Benefit-Output” conceptual model, and it also reflects the multi-dimensional meaning of green buildings.
