Turkey's recently introduced Green Certification program impacts new constructions, requiring energy-efficient designs and sustainable materials. While increasing initial costs by 5-8%, these standards may reduce long-term maintenance expenses and improve resale value. The regulations currently apply mainly to large-scale developments in metropolitan areas, with gradual implementation expected nationwide.

For buyers, this means carefully reviewing a property's energy class and potential utility savings. More details on certified projects and their valuation differences can be found in the sustainability section of Turk.Estate's research portal.
