Hungarian law does not currently regulate green certification for buildings and there is currently no official regulation or procedure for obtaining such certification.

However, it is possible to obtain green certification based on the green certification types already in use in other EU member states, such as the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEM), Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and WELL Building Standard (WELL). Although a large number of domestic projects have already obtained green certification based on the mentioned types, these systems are not based on Hungarian legislation, and therefore their application is not mandatory.

This means that in Hungary, green certification is not granted on the basis of a certification by a public authority, but is issued by an entity or company authorized to issue green certification.
