Green Homes Certification  
Location : Webinar
From: Monday 26 October 2020, 09:30
To: Monday 26 October 2020, 17:00

The Romania Green Building Council has developed a low cost but comprehensive Green Homes certification to assess and recognize the top performing residential projects utilizing sustainable construction principles. Financial and technical modeling have proven that investing in sensible measures for energy efficiency and other green building attributes for homes will improve housing quality, reduce the total monthly cost of ownership for the homeowner, allow for higher sales prices for the project developer/investor, and substantially reduce the financial risk for the bank offering the mortgage on the home.

Over thirty-five residential projects representing over 7.700 residential units have been certified or in-process to obtain the certification across Romania. Download here the RoGBC Green Homes & Green Mortgages Toolkit for Residential Investors.
