Building Certification for Sustainable Construction

Ecological requirements for buildings are tough: Maximum energy savings must be achieved to enhance a building's overall energy balance. A number of certification systems can attest that your building has met these goals. However, the energy savings potential that can be achieved with these systems are not properly accounted for. The “eu.bac” system now closes this gap.

Benefits of a Certified Building:

Securing and increasing the market value of your building
Gaining a competitive edge on the real estate market through meaningful certification and a detailed eco-efficiency balance
Ecological sustainability and long-term profitability thanks to life cycle approaches
Protection against potential consequential costs using CO₂-neutral Green Building concepts
Specialty controls for achieving the target building quality and results in operation
Optimization of building operation and reduction of operating costs
Portfolio optimization through lean approaches for energy and sustainability

Wide Range of Different Evaluation Systems for Building Certification

Tools and aids which map the entire life cycle of a building and make corresponding information available in the planning process are required for sustainable planning. They are also necessary for describing and evaluating buildings in terms of ecological, economic and social aspects. A number of such tools for evaluating the sustainability of buildings and construction products have been developed internationally during the last few years. Most of the seals of approval which exist today were specifically developed to reflect the needs of specific countries and are based on these countries' climatic, cultural and legal norms.

Why certify?
The goal of sustainable construction is to minimize the use of energy and raw materials. The focus here is on the entire life cycle of a building. As an important tool to promote sustainable construction, certification systems have been developed to evaluate the sustainability of buildings. In addition to a comprehensive overview, investors and architects also receive a tool to simplify planning and implementation. Buildings are also comparable to one another through certifications, providing builders with benchmarks.
