Abstract: Now a days building energy efficiency rating system have been developed worldwide to manage the energy consumption of existing buildings. There are various rating systems accepted in India like LEED, GRIHA and IGBC which have their various rating criteria and rating thresholds. These various certification programs are dedicated to the design sustainable buildings by incentivizing reductions in energy, water, and building materials consumption, while at the same time enhancing occupant health and overall community connectivity. The increasing population growth, demands for buildings, services and comfort, which results in an increasing energy demand. For this reason design of energy efficient buildings are the main objective of upcoming era. The rating systems mainly focuses on energy efficiency, the reduction of the use of resources, water and materials, as well as the reduction of impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle. In this research paper, various studies are discussed related to comparison of green ratings in various countries and the performance of green buildings. This shows that various rating systems emphasizes on different criteria according to their priorities whereas, criteria should be set according to the topographical and climatic conditions of particular place
