Committee for Harmful and Hazardous Substances

The Committee actively advises the DGNB on requirements for products that minimise harmful substances for sustainable buildings, interiors and urban districts. The focus of the committee's activities is on the avoidance or reduction of risks in connection with the building products used. This includes the aspects of indoor air quality, negative impacts on climate and the immediate environment, risks of incidents as well as hazardous substances for the current and future circular economy within the DGNB Certification System. The committee is thus committed to pollutant-free construction and long-term high-quality use of buildings.
