Energy efficiency

The efficiency of energy consumption and CO2 emissions is assessed, also taking into account the use of renewable energies.

Resource efficiency

The use of building materials and resources is designed efficiently in order to minimise waste and reduce the environmental impact.

Ecological construction methods

The selection of environmentally friendly materials and environmentally friendly construction practices are prioritised.

Water management

Technologies to reduce water and wastewater consumption are integrated to minimise the ecological footprint.

Life cycle costs

All costs incurred over the life of the building are fully taken into account.

Value retention

Measures to maintain the value of buildings and infrastructure are consistently implemented.

Economic responsibility

Economic risks and long-term economic effects of each measure are carefully analysed.

Cultural and functional diversity

Buildings and spaces are designed in such a way that they fulfil different cultural and functional requirements.

Barrier-free design

Accessibility and user-friendliness for all people are guaranteed in the buildings.

Social integration

Spaces are developed to promote social interaction and community building.

Health and well-being

Elements that promote health and well-being are an integral part of the living spaces.

Structural quality

The construction quality and safety of the buildings is guaranteed through regular inspections.

Flexibility and adaptability

Building structures are designed in such a way that they can be adapted to future requirements.

Planning process

The planning process is designed to maximise efficiency and sustainability.

Construction process

Compliance with environmental standards and the minimisation of construction disruption are paramount.

Choice of location

The choice of location takes into account optimal transport connections, proximity to services and integration into the existing infrastructure.

Reducing the ecological footprint

Environmentally friendly construction and efficient use of resources make a significant contribution to minimising the impact on the environment.

Energy efficiency

Thanks to optimised construction methods and technologies, energy consumption and operating costs are reduced in certified buildings.

Utilisation of renewable energies

The integration of renewable energies is increasingly promoted through certification and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Promotion of health

The consideration of health aspects in the certification process promotes a healthier living and working environment.

Accessibility

Certified projects attach great importance to the accessibility and usability of the premises for all people.

Lower operating costs

Certified buildings are characterised by lower running costs, which leads to considerable financial savings.

Increased value

Through higher efficiency and sustainable standards, certified buildings increase their market value and return on investment.

Better risk management

Certification processes help to identify and minimise environmental and social risks, leading to safer investments.

Social integration

Certification supports the development of community spaces that promote social contact and integration.

Community benefit

Certified projects contribute to the common good by supporting local social projects.

Incentives for innovation

The requirements of certification motivate the use and development of innovative, sustainable technologies.

Knowledge gain

The certification process promotes the dissemination and deepening of sector-specific knowledge and practices.
