More and more, sustainable architecture has diverse foci based on what standards (such as LEED) architects choose. Looking at those standards, and how different architects approach them, it becomes essential to look for similarities and differences. In 2015 at the United Nations Climate Change Conference, the two largest polluters— America and China—committed themselves to cut CO2 emissions. In this study I am performing a comparative analysis of two recently designed major buildings in Pittsburgh and Beijing, two top cities in America and China which are developing sustainable architecture in response to similar climate issues: the New Tower in PNC Plaza and the Parkview Green Mall in Beijing.
