Abstract The purpose of this study is to provide insight into green retail spaces for fashion brands. Particularly, in this study, we analyzed Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)–certified retail stores of fashion brands. The LEED program, which is one of the most widely used green building certification programs in the world, is administered by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Using publicly available data from the USGBC, we analyzed patterns and characteristics of fashion stores that achieved LEED certification under the LEED 2009 for Retail: Commercial Interiors rating system (CI). A total of 199 fashion stores that completed their LEED certification were used for the data analysis. A credit achievement pattern of each fashion store project was analyzed in six LEED CI assessment categories. A pattern emerged from the data analysis suggesting that for fashion stores, aesthetic considerations more often than not trump sustainability concerns. This has been highlighted in the low achievement in credit categories where surface materials are most visible or in categories where achievement would greatly alter space design.

绿色商店：LEED 认证时尚商店的分析

摘要 本研究的目的是深入了解时尚品牌的绿色零售空间。特别是，在本研究中，我们分析了获得能源与环境设计 (LEED) 认证的时尚品牌零售店的领先地位。LEED 计划是世界上使用最广泛的绿色建筑认证计划之一，由美国绿色建筑委员会 (USGBC) 管理。我们使用来自 USGBC 的公开数据，分析了根据 LEED 2009 零售：商业室内设计评级系统 (CI) 获得 LEED 认证的时装店的模式和特征。共有 199 家完成 LEED 认证的时装店被用于数据分析。每个时装店项目的信用成就模式在六个 LEED CI 评估类别中进行了分析。数据分析中出现了一种模式，表明对于时装店而言，美学考虑往往胜过可持续性问题。这在表面材料最明显的信用类别中的低成就或在成就将极大地改变空间设计的类别中突出显示。
