In the Romanian building market, the minimum standard for office buildings is currently BREEAM Excellent or LEED Gold. However, buildings that want to position themselves in the market as performing, target the maximum level of certification, which is BREEAM Outstanding or LEED Platinum. WELL is also a standard preferred by office building users, because it has a greater concern for comfort, health, aspects related to encouraging movement or healthy eating, or preparing buildings for situations similar to those during the pandemic, when things have to function almost the same while ensuring specific sanitary conditions.

How about other emerging markets in South-East Europe? Green building practices in SE Europe have evolved considerably over the years.
