Sustainability has increasingly established itself as a standard in the real estate industry. When investing in building or district developments, corresponding certificates such as that of the DGNB are therefore increasingly required. They serve as independent proof to make both the planned and the implemented sustainability quality of the respective projects transparent. In this context, sustainability certificates contribute to an increase in value and provide more investment security.
Sustainability certification is also becoming increasingly important for existing properties in use. By covering additional requirements such as those of the EU taxonomy, potential risks in regard to the future viability of real estate are minimised. The DGNB also offers a wide range of further training opportunities for real estate professionals, including the opportunity to qualify as an expert in sustainable construction and ESG.
