Sustainability is on everyone's lips in the construction and real estate industry - and in many different ways. There are debates, research and new developments. The question is: what do we really need? What actually helps to steer and accelerate the necessary change in the right direction? This is precisely the subject of the DGNB Ideas Lab, which takes place once a year.
The date for the DGNB Idea Lab 2024 has been set: On 25 September 2024, we will focus on the topic of financing transformation. The event will take place in Frankfurt am Main from 9.30 am to around 4 pm. More information on the programme is available below.
Please note that the event will be held in German. If you wish to register, please switch to German language settings.
The format in a nutshell
With this format, which was launched in 2023, we are looking for the white spots on the map of sustainable construction. Together, we want to identify topics and issues that are relevant to the success of the transformation of the construction and real estate sector and that are not yet in the spotlight. We want to make knowledge visible and find solutions to open questions.
The format is based on the principles of swarm intelligence and creativity. Everyone is invited to contribute their own knowledge and perspective. It can be wild and controversial. Open, but constructive. Critical but focused.
- We get out of our comfort zone and are open to different perspectives.
- We identify the white spots on the map of sustainable construction - the issues that have not yet been addressed, but for which we urgently need solutions to help us move forward.
- We show where innovation is most needed - on the way to effective, rapidly implementable and scalable solutions.
- We do this by harnessing the creativity and knowledge of everyone involved.
- We are self-critical and question how good seemingly good ideas really are.
- We do not try to reinvent the wheel, because the goal is not simply to make existing solutions prettier or more accurate.
- We do not deal with marginal issues that have no transformational impact.
- We do not put our own particular interests first.
- Having a good time together is not the sole purpose of the event, but a positive side effect.

A look back: The DGNB Ideas Lab 2023
