DGNB

Nemački savet za održivo građevinarstvo (DGNB – Deutsche Gesellschaft für Nachhaltiges Bauen) je 2008. pokrenulo sistem ocenjivanja nazvan Nemački sistem kvaliteta za održivu izgradnju

Energo, član DGNB od 2010. do 2013, je bio prvi i jedini DGNB revizor u Italiji i Srbiji.

Nemački sertifikat za održivu izgradnju sadrži mnoge teme koje su slične najpoznatijim LEED, BREEAM standardima, ali on koristi evropske standarde i stavlja veći akcenat na analizu životnog ciklusa materijala i troškova.

The DGNB promotes the achievement of a balanced compendium between the ecological, economic and socio-cultural aspects of the “building” project.

Within this system, appropriate points are awarded in six specific areas:

• Ecological quality
• Economical quality
• Socio-cultural and functional quality
• Technical quality
• Quality of the process
• Location (it is considered separately, but it does not contribute to the overall classification of the building)

The total score for each category is properly weighted and finally calculated in percentages The DGNB system is based on current European norms and standards.

Calculations, LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) and LCC (Life Cycle Costing) have also been developed on the basis of EU guidelines and are gradually being implemented into European building regulations.
