There are currently no mandatory certifications required for buildings, except for the energy identity certification mentioned under the "Energy performance certificates and minimum energy standards" section. However, there is a voluntary certification system named Yes-TR. Additionally, well-known international certifications, such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM), and WELL Building Standard (WELL) are also widely recognized within the market.

YeS-TR is a local green building certification system developed by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Environment, Urbanization, and Climate Change ("Ministry of Environment"). It focuses on the certification of environmental sustainability levels in various types of buildings across different regions of Türkiye. YeS-TR evaluates and rates the sustainable features of buildings, considering factors like energy efficiency, resource conservation and overall environmental impact. This system offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating the sustainability of both new and existing structures, while also promoting eco-friendly practices within the Turkish construction sector.
