This one-day training course will equip you with the knowledge needed to confidently apply the DGNB System Buildings In Use. You will learn about the key aspects of DGNB Certification for buildings in use.
Using examples, we will teach you the important characteristics of sustainable building operation and show you how to translate these into DGNB criteria.
