In the standards and criterions of many countries, the evaluating index of energy efficient buildings mostly comprises of two types, prescriptive index and performance index. Firstly , the concepts of each type were explained respectively in this paper , and several existed typical evaluating performance indexes and methods of energy2efficient buildings were introduced , also the characteristics of each index were presented. Furthermore , the evaluating indexes and methods used by existing design standards for energy efficiency buildings in China were briefly discussed and some elementary suggestions on the foundation of evaluating index system were analyzed. At last , based on the discussion , a suitable evaluating index system of energy efficient buildings for China could be established , as a result , the energy resources could be saved and the environment could be protected.
