Sustainability

Certifications

Sustainability certifications of urban areas and buildings are an important contribution to the sustainable development of our cities and society as a whole. Certifications are valuable in that they make the sustainable qualities of a construction project measurable and documentable.

These are well-proven systems and methods that identify the sustainable potential of a construction project, and the certifications provide the framework for a constructive dialogue with the client. The various certification schemes set requirements for a project’s social, environmental, economic, technical and process qualities – often in a way that increases the economic value of a building or area.
