Green construction is a new fundamental environmental direction in the design, construction, operation and dismantling of buildings. Currently, there are two international systems for assessing the eco-efficiency of construction: BREEAM (British system) and LEED (American system). BREEM is a scientific standard focused on a large number of environmental issues. LEED is a commercial standard for energy consumption. The above assessment systems have different levels of minimum requirements; buildings that meet these requirements receive respectively a BREEM certificate or a LEED certificate. The article discusses buildings certified according to different systems for assessing eco-efficiency, located both in the Russian Federation and in the world. The leading place in the number of “green” buildings in Russia belongs to the city of Sochi, thanks to the 2014 Olympics. Then, there are the capital cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, on the territory of which are located not only shopping, entertainment and office “green” buildings, but also residential eco quarters. Sports arenas were built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in host cities. In particular, the Samara 45-thousandth sports arena became the first Russian facility for the 2018 football championship, which won international recognition, having received a certificate according to the standard of the BREEM system.
