DGNB certification for sustainable building design
Technical assessment framework
DGNB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen – German Sustainable Building Council) establishes the technical benchmark for sustainable building certification. This comprehensive assessment system provides engineers and consultants with precise evaluation criteria for building sustainability performance.
Advanced assessment protocols deliver:
- Objective technical evaluation across six critical performance categories
- Standardized measurement protocols ensuring consistent methodology
- Quantitative scoring systems enabling precise impact calculations
Certification levels and compliance standards
DGNB maintains rigorous compliance standards while accommodating various building applications. Is this referring to DGNB technical specifications or our product technical specification?
Certification achievements based on performance thresholds:
- Silver certification - Baseline compliance achievement
- Gold certification - Enhanced performance demonstration
- Platinum certification - Exceptional technical excellence
Assessment methodology
Fixed-point scoring systems enable precise impact calculations throughout the design and construction phases. Life-cycle assessment protocols ensure comprehensive evaluation from initial design through operational performance, supporting evidence-based decision making for sustainable building systems.
Ventilation system contributions
Ramboll, a leading European engineering consultancy, has developed comprehensive technical documentation for DGNB assessment teams. These reports analyze how energy-efficient ventilation systems and axial flow fans contribute to the certification criteria.
NOVENCO ventilation solutions demonstrate measurable contributions through verified technical specifications.
Denmark assessment results
Independent assessment by Green Building Council Denmark confirms that the energy-saving ventilation systems contribute measurably to DGNB certification. Technical analysis demonstrates a potential positive impact of up to 39.1% of the total certification points.
The maximum potential contribution is based on all applicable criteria categories. Actual point allocation depends on project requirements and system integration specifications.
Germany assessment results
Technical documentation for the German Sustainable Building Council shows that energy-efficient ventilation systems support DGNB certification in up to 40.5% of the total certification points.
Performance benefits span multiple technical criteria categories. Individual project outcomes depend on system specifications and building integration requirements.
Engineering consultants can request detailed technical reports documenting the systems’ contributions to building certification. Ramboll provides comprehensive analysis reports detailing performance data and compliance verification.
