Certification

The DGNB certificate was created in 2009 in Germany at the initiative of the non-profit organization Deutsche Gesellscaft fuer Nachhaltiges Bauen – DGNB, in cooperation with experts from the German Ministry of Transport, Construction and Urban Development and professors from the Technical Faculty in Stuttgart.

Except in DGNB, the certificate is applied for the certification of sustainable buildings and spaces throughout the world and especially in countries – system partners – Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain and Croatia.

The DGNB certificate is the only education in the European Union, and accordingly it is harmonized with the EU taxonomy, and with European standards in norms.

According to the DGNB international construction standard, it is possible to certify several types of projects:

  • Urban zones/quarters
  • Buildings – new construction
  • Buildings – reconstruction
  • Buildings – in use
  • Interiors of buildings
  • Architectural design of buildings

Tips & Tricks

The dgnb.hr team always advises existing and new clients:

  • The certification procedure is best started at the stage of creating a conceptual solution
  • It is important to assemble a multidisciplinary team that will work on the sustainability of the project during its entire life cycle
  • Inform the neighborhood of the future building or construction site that the works are carried out according to the standards of the DGNB certification system
  • In the process of selecting construction companies for the execution of all works, set the rules for their behavior already when creating project tasks for the main architectural office that accompanies you, and certainly also in the tender documentation for the selection of contractors
  • Consider DGNB consultants and auditors with experience as your partners who work together with you on the excellence of your project!
