Continuous recognition of pioneering approaches
The German Sustainable Building Council focuses on forward-looking developments in the construction and real estate industry. Since 2016, the organisation has been honouring outstanding ideas and practical innovations as part of the DGNB Sustainability Challenge format. The objective is to promote solutions that meet the requirements of resource-conserving and sustainable construction.
The DGNB innovation competition sees itself as a platform for increasing the visibility of concepts that further develop existing standards in the sustainable planning and construction of buildings. In view of the transformation within the property sector, identifying viable approaches is taking on growing importance. Models that combine ecological quality with future-proof applicability are in demand.
Significance of the competition for sustainable standards
The award initiated by the DGNB specifically targets innovations that make tangible contributions to sustainability. Since its introduction in 2016, the format has established itself as an enduring institution highlighting new paths for the building sector. The focus is on advancing traditional construction methods towards forward-looking approaches and concepts.
By awarding pioneering solutions, the German Sustainable Building Council addresses key questions facing the industry. The ongoing hosting of the event since 2016 underlines the ambition to deepen professional discourse on promising construction approaches and provide the necessary platform for direction-setting developments.
