Product information at the click of a button DGNB Navigator:
new online database for building productsStuttgart, June 29, 2011. Architects and planners are confronted with an overabundance of building products in their day-to-day work. The wide range of information issued by manufacturers, eco-labels and declarations make it difficult to make the right choice sometimes. Without an easily accessible, reliable overview of the sustainability aspects of different products, searching is often very time-consuming and laborious. The DGNB - German Sustainable Building Council - is now closing this gap by presenting its new online database - the DGNB Navigator.
