The Current Landscape of Green Consulting in Vietnam

What Is Green Consulting and Why Is It Becoming Increasingly Important?

Green consulting is the process of providing comprehensive solutions to help construction projects meet sustainability standards — including energy efficiency, emissions reduction, resource optimization, and the protection of occupant health.

In Vietnam, rapid urbanization combined with the country’s commitment to Net Zero 2050 has made the adoption of green buildings an inevitable trend.

In this context, green consulting in Vietnam plays a crucial role as the bridge between investors, architects, and international certification bodies — helping projects to:

Achieve global sustainability standards such as LEED and EDGE;

Reduce long-term operational costs;

Enhance corporate image and property value.

As a result, demand for professional and reputable green consulting firms in Vietnam has grown rapidly over the past five years.

Market Overview and Challenges of Green Consulting in Vietnam

Despite positive growth, the green consulting market in Vietnam still faces several challenges:

Lack of qualified professionals: The number of experts holding international accreditations such as LEED AP or EDGE Expert remains limited.

Low awareness among developers: Many investors have yet to fully understand the long-term benefits of green buildings, resulting in slow adoption or ineffective implementation.

Lack of standardized consulting processes: Some consulting firms still operate in a fragmented, unsystematic way that prevents projects from achieving optimal certification results.

Therefore, companies with internationally certified experts, standardized processes, and proven project experience — such as ISD Engineering — have become the top choice for major developments across Vietnam.
