Going by the motto Sustainability Beyond Buzzwords, the DGNB will be showcasing its know-how at Expo Real 2024 from 7 to 9 October. Designed from start to finish with sustainability in mind – and located this year in Hall C2, Stand 420 – the aim of the large stand is to provide a refreshing alternative to the empty marketing jargon often associated with sustainability and ESG, countering the growing number of clichés on display at the trade fair.
DGNB programme
The DGNB will be offering an extensive schedule of talks and discussions on all three days of the trade fair. A discussions that plays directly to our motto at the trade fair: No more whispering games: myths and preconceptions surrounding DGNB Certification (on Monday). Other key topics on the agenda include the sustainable transformation of urban districts, the connection between sustainable architecture and the EU taxonomy, and standardising the assessment of building sustainability in Germany.
In addition to numerous certification ceremonies and introductory presentations on the DGNB, there will also be various networking meetings on the second day - for DGNB certification experts, town council directors of planning and architects. In addition, all those interested are warmly invited to take advantage of Expo Real to talk face-to-face with the experts from our non-profit organisation and get advice on, for example, DGNB certification.
You would like to talk to us in more depth, please arrange an appointment in advance. Please send an email to service@dgnb.de, including the reason for your meeting and two or three suggested dates.
