Abstract

 There is a lack of awareness about the added environmental value of the
integration between Lean and Green building design. This study is investigating
the relationship between Lean and Green building design represented in the
Egyptian rating system (Green pyramid).
The research clarifies Lean Construction concepts and principles which
reduce waste and increase the quality through enhance building performance.
Also, focuses on analyzing the Egyptian rating system (Green Pyramid) which
was established to ensure sustainability in Egypt, reduce the environmental
impact of construction and raising the awareness toward the importance of green
buildings to the Egyptian environment.
Based on analyzing previous concepts, studying literature review and
considering the principles of Lean Construction with the criteria of Green
Pyramid for certification of environmental performance of buildings for
understanding the results of their integrations and proposing recommendations to
be added at the Green pyramid Egyptian rating system as approach for green
building design in Egypt.
