This article discusses the process of adapting international concepts of sustainable construction in Russia. A review of green standards and an ecological approach to design within the framework of the Russian construction industry has been made. A comparative analysis of Russian and foreign software was made using the example of Renga, ModelStudioCS and Revit in the context of solving problems of sustainable design. The initial experimental stage of adaptation of ecological construction in Russia was identified and the relationship between legal documents, regional conditions for the use of green solutions in construction and the capabilities of Russian software systems was given. A comparative analysis showed the low readiness of Russian computer-aided design programs to solve specific problems of analyzing the energy efficiency of buildings, lighting, acoustics and construction waste.
