DGNB Certification

What is DGNB?

DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) is a German building rating scheme committed to promoting sustainability by looking at the environment, people’s well-being, and cost-effectiveness.

DGNB has created an internationally recognised certification methodology that can be applied in different countries and specific regional conditions.

DGNB Certification

What does it mean if a building is DGNB certified?

The DGNB Certification System offers a wide range of benefits to its users, building owners and investors, planners, architects and consultants. A high quality of life and well-being is a central tenet in the DGNB System, as is the lifecycle of a building and its operational costs.

DGNB’s strong methodology has real benefits for investors. Having your building DGNB certified has been shown to improve a property’s value, reduce building vacancies, and help secure loans.
