Romania Green Building & Finance Awards 2026

10th Anniversary Edition

Romania Green Building Council invites you to the 10th edition of the Romania Green Building & Finance Awards – the country’s premier platform bridging sustainable building excellence with green finance opportunities.

This is the second edition organized in partnership with RoENEF (Association for Promoting Energy Efficiency in Buildings), building on our shared mission to bridge the gap between building performance and investment opportunity.

In the presence of Mr. Dragoș Pîslaru, Minister of Investments and European Projects, we will showcase projects that exemplify EU Taxonomy compliance and demonstrate the bankability of sustainable construction – proving that better buildings are not just environmentally superior, but financially strategic.

The 10th anniversary marks a pivotal shift in Romania’s sustainable construction landscape: from certification to capitalization.

As the EU Taxonomy establishes technical screening criteria for sustainable economic activities, and as financial institutions increasingly integrate ESG factors into lending decisions, this Gala demonstrates the concrete link between building performance and investment eligibility.

From compliance to competitive advantage

This is not just about environmental responsibility – it’s about financial opportunity.

Buildings recognized at this Gala represent proof points that:
✅ EU Taxonomy compliance is achievable in the Romanian market
✅ Energy-efficient buildings command premium valuations and lower financing costs
✅ Green certifications translate to investor confidence and access to sustainable finance instruments
✅ Circular economy approaches reduce lifecycle costs and increase asset resilience
✅ Data-driven performance verification enables portfolio-level green finance strategies

What we’re celebrating 🏆

✅ High Performance Buildings – Projects demonstrating EU Taxonomy alignment through superior energy performance (PED ≤ threshold values) and low operational carbon
✅ Circular Economy Champions – Solutions minimizing embodied carbon and maximizing resource efficiency across the building lifecycle – a growing focus for ESG-conscious investors
✅ Sustainable Cities Leadership – Municipal policies creating enabling environments for green finance deployment at scale
✅ ECO Builder Excellence – Construction companies whose systematic ESG practices make them preferred partners for sustainable finance-backed projects
✅ Market Transformation – Initiatives educating stakeholders on the financial benefits of sustainable buildings
✅ Special Awards: Emerging Green Leader, Women in Green Building Leadership, Innovation Award, People’s Choice

Join us in proving that sustainability is not just responsible – it’s profitable.
