DGNB German Sustainable Building Council
The DGNB German Sustainable Building Council was founded in 2007 and has more than 1300 member organizations, making it Europe’s biggest network for sustainable building. The aim of the non-profit organization is to promote sustainability in the construction and real estate industry and instil awareness of building sustainability among the broader population. DGNB’s certification system offers a planning and optimisation tool for evaluating sustainable buildings, interiors and districts. It was developed to help organisations enhance the tangible sustainability of construction projects. The DGNB Academy is an education and training platform that has already provided more than 5000 people from 40 countries with official qualifications in sustainable building.
