DGNB is an internationally recognised certification scheme for sustainable construction. If you choose to build with us, we can offer DGNB Renovation and New Build certification for your modular building. As the certification reviews, measures and is third-party verified against the most important sustainability parameters, it provides you with documentation of your construction project’s quality and performance.
When you choose to have your building DGNB-certified, you gain a strategic and structured tool that can be tailored to the sustainability ambitions you have for the specific project. DGNB helps you make choices that create better conditions for society, people and the environment—from concept to operation. Unlike many other certification schemes, DGNB emphasises the building’s life cycle and provides you with a balanced overall assessment by an independent third party.
The DGNB certification framework ensures that factors such as climate impact, economics, material choices, indoor climate and technical solutions are systematically considered and assessed as a whole, to avoid random or short-term decisions that have negative long-term consequences and adversely affect the building’s performance.
With a certification, your construction project is thoroughly assessed against various criteria, reducing the risk of technical construction defects, poor indoor climate, suboptimal use of the building, or weak life-cycle economics.
As part of a DGNB certification, the three qualities shown in the graphic below are reviewed and assessed. Environmental quality accounts for 40%, while economic and social quality each account for 30%.
When you choose to DGNB-certify your building, you improve your ability to realise the building’s full potential.
Among other things, the certification helps you focus on:
A DGNB certification helps you by documenting your building’s low environmental impact, efficient resource use and reduced CO₂ footprint throughout the building’s lifetime.
Our modules are built from materials with a documented low environmental impact, production takes place under controlled conditions with less waste and high material efficiency, and the modular design ensures easy reuse and disposal at end of life. Factors that make it easier to achieve high environmental performance while keeping finances in balance.
DGNB certification focuses on the project’s life-cycle economics rather than only the construction cost. It therefore helps you ensure your building’s financial robustness in operation and over time.
Our systematic construction process provides high budget certainty, short build time and fewer errors, reducing the risk of, among other things, unforeseen costs. This gives you a project with greater financial predictability and security and ensures stronger long-term value for the completed project.
DGNB helps ensure that your building provides good space for people and wellbeing: with a healthy indoor climate, high comfort and attractive settings for everyday life.
Our modular buildings contribute proven solutions, healthy building materials and high quality from dry, indoor production, resulting in stable indoor climate conditions and a high perceived quality for users. This increases the building’s attractiveness and makes it easier to lease or sell.
The certification itself is based on a range of measurement points that, taken together, assess your construction or renovation project against a number of social, environmental and economic parameters. The specific parameters and levels are tailored to the sustainability ambitions you have for your project.
In 2025, a new DGNB manual was released, placing greater emphasis on the building’s properties. We support this, as we agree that the building’s performance is more important than documentation of design and processes, which were given higher priority in the previous version.
Your construction project’s overall performance is assessed based on the average number of points. To achieve a DGNB Silver certificate, your project must attain an average performance index of 50%. In addition, the project must not score below 35% in one or more categories in order to achieve Silver.
Your construction project’s overall performance is assessed based on the average number of points. To achieve a DGNB Gold certificate, your project must attain an average performance index of 65%. In addition, the project must not score below Silver level (50%) in one or more categories in order to achieve Gold.
Your construction project’s overall performance is assessed based on the average number of points. To achieve a DGNB Platinum certificate, your project must attain an average performance index of 80%. In addition, the project must not score below Gold level (65%) in one or more categories in order to achieve Platinum.
