How do construction affect the environment, the economy and social conditions?
The DGNB system is a holistic understanding of construction, ie. environment, economy and social conditions are given equal weight, eg when a company must have developed a garden, or when a municipality develops a new urban area. The project is developed on the basis of a large number of global criteria based on the UN's definition of sustainability, see also the list below.
