Sustainable Building and Environmentally Friendly Construction

Green Building & Infrastructure

Decarbonization of buildings and sites

As sustainability and climate requirements increasingly shape the construction and real estate sector, sustainable building is no longer optional. Developers, planners and building owners are expected to improve energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact and ensure long-term building performance, while balancing cost, usability and asset value. Meeting these expectations requires resource-efficient design, healthy indoor environments and a systematic reduction of carbon emissions across the building lifecycle.

At DEKRA, we support organizations in implementing and verifying green building strategies aligned with internationally recognized standards such as LEED, BREEAM and DGNB.
