Abstract
Construction activities consume natural resources and produce pollution. It is important to decrease construction's negative impact on natural resources and the environment. Green building is an environmentally sustainable building to decrease the environmental impacts and increase environmental conservation. The present study aimed to compare green building criteria. The study was conducted by adopting 3 dimensions with 9 indicators and 79 parameters relevant to the green building criteria. For comparison of the green building criteria, a three-level hierarchical structure was constructed in which Level 1 was the green building criteria, Levels 2 and 3 as the 9 indicators, and 79 parameters, respectively. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for criteria comparison. The data were collected from the field experts via questionnaires and pairwise. The parameters' weights calculate using Expert Choice Software and the most important parameters are presented according to their weights. The results indicated priorities of the green building parameters from the environmental, economical, and social perspectives denoted as dimensions. The results can be useful to green building engineers.

Keywords green building technology;construction industry;analytical hierarchy process;criteria weightings.
