The construction industry has a significant contribution to energy consumption. Therefore, developed countries in this field have offered a strategic energy plan by voluntarily applying energy certificates approved by the Green Buildings Council. Since 2000, Iran has presented its energy audit program by voluntarily applying the building energy label. Unfortunately, this energy certificate has not been able to significantly contribute to maintaining energy in this industry. Therefore, the present study used a qualitative descriptive-analytical method to compare existing standards between the energy strategic plan of the Green Buildings Council and Iran's energy audit program. The three factors of saving based on human design, saving for all resources, and biogeochemical cycle were compared as the goals of both programs, and the reasons for the differences around them were analyzed. The results of these analyses showed shortcomings in the standardization of savings based on all resources and biogeochemical cycles in Iran's energy label certificate compared to the certificate approved by the Green Buildings Council. In such a way that in the rating of Iran's energy label, user education and saving of water resources and solutions for using alternative sources of energy such as geothermal energy and sun and wind and biogas fuel and the return of construction materials and materials to the material biogeochemical cycle are not considered, as well as supporting support. There has been no incentive such as tax exemptions in these sectors.
