Statements from experts in the field

How can we achieve a carbon neutral building stock? And what can we learn from buildings that are already operated in a carbon neutral manner?

Examples of climate positivity

At the Expo Real 2019, the first ever buildings were honoured with the DGNB "Climate Positive" award for their positive contribution to climate protection. What makes these buildings stand out? And can we achieve a carbon neutral building stock by 2050? We asked the people involved in the projects these and other questions.
