DGNB Projects in Berlin – Behind the Scenes
During World Green Building Week we are inviting you to experience the advantages of the DGNB Certification System directly on site. We welcome you come and visit three buildings and urban quarters which have been awarded the DGNB Certificate for sustainable building, or which are in the pilot phase of certification. Here you will have the chance to learn not only about the distinctive features of a sustainable building or urban quarter up-close, but also about the details of the certificate and the certification process.
