Resource productivity as well as the evolution of patents increasing energy efficiency in the construction industry presents a favourable image of the greening of the Hungarian industrial and service sectors. Since 2008, Hungarian resource productivity has improved continuously and significantly. Compared to the base year 2000, resource productivity grew by 52,63 percentiles by the year 2011, a growth which significantly exceeded the improvement of the EU or the average of the Visegrad countries (19 and 31 percentiles respectively). Among Hungarian patents, there is a high proportion of construction industry patents designed to improve energy efficiency. The share of 6.83% as published for the year 2010 in the OECD Green Growth Indicators Database is quite high in an international comparison.
