Green Building: Certified Green buildings
… binding for buildings Since buildings are responsible for a significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions, the GWP value of a building is another important indicator of its environmental compatibility. GWP stands for Global Warming Potential, and describes the greenhouse gas potential of a substance or a building. The GWP value of a building is calculated based on the construction materials used, the energy footprint and the building's useful life. The higher the GWP value, the more the building contributes to global warming. Starting in January 2027, calculation of the GWP binding will be required for new buildings over 2000 m², then for all new buildings starting in 2030. This means that building owners and architects will have to focus more specifically on the GWP values of buildings. EPD – Declaration of environmentally relevant product properties EPD certificate label Green Buildings use ecologically safe, low-emission materials. Information for the German market is provided by the construction material industry under the umbrella of the IBU (Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V.) using Environmental Product Declarations, or EPDs for short. An EPD provides quantified environmental information on the life cycle of a product to enable a comparison with products with the same functions. An EPD is based on independently checked data from ecological life cycle assessments, specialist assessments or information modules which comply with the ISO 14040 series of standards. The German Institute for Construction and the Environment (IBU) and the Institute for Window Technology in Rosenheim are publicly recognised facilitators of the programme in Germany, and create and publish EPDs for the construction sector. The procedure for the production of EPDs since 2005: Manufacturers create an ecological assessment for their product and present this data as an EPD in accordance with the European standard. The IBU has the information checked by independent experts and the EPD is then published. EPDs describe construction materials, products or components in relation to their effect on the environment based on the ecological assessment, and their functional and technical properties. This information relates to the whole life cycle of the construction product. The energy consumption needed for manufacture and the emissions this causes, the durability, and the capacity for dismantling and recycling are identified. EPDs form the foundation of data for the sustainability assessment of buildings, for example through the BREEAM and LEED international assessment systems, or the systems operated by the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council) or the Federal Ministry of Construction. The three biggest certifications for Green Buildings The certification systems examine and certify the sustainability of whole buildings. The German DGNB Seal and the American and Canadian LEED certificate are currently battling to be considered the most comprehensive certification system. For example, Deutsche Bank decided to have all its company buildings, and especially newer buildings, certified according to DGNB and LEED so that it can compare its international property portfolio. All three labels follow the same basic procedure. Buildings aiming for the award must meet a very complex catalogue of requirements. Various criteria are assessed using a points system and assigned to the building. An assessment is produced from all of the categories and sub-categories which indicates how sustainable the building is. The GWP value is taken into consideration in most Green Building certification procedures. Buildings with a lower GWP value have a better chance of receiving a Green Building certification and achieving a higher assessment. The most important Green Building assessment systems: BREEAM, LEED, DGNB Building sustainability has become increasingly important in recent years. Certification systems for sustainable buildings are gaining recognition, alongside the development of new criteria and assessment systems. A building certificate is awarded when the quality requirements specified and published by an organisation have been met. These certifications are primarily used for quality assurance and to publicly communicate that the respective label has been obtained. Investors, owners, tenants and users can assess the quality of a building based on its certification. The three selected seals are difficult to compare since factors are weighted very differently. BREEAM BREEAM stands for the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method. It is the oldest and most widespread certification system for sustainable construction. It was developed in the UK in 1990. BREEAM uses a simple points system to award a quality seal at four levels in eight assessment categories. The criteria take the effects at global, regional, local and interior design level into account. BREEAM originally assessed the phases from planning through to implementation and usage. The procedure was completely revised in 2008 and now takes the whole life cycle into account, including adjusted weighting of the environmental effects. Mandatory points have also been introduced. Assessment categories Management Energy Water Land consumption and ecology Health and wellbeing Transport Material Pollution Application area Renovation and new construction Wide range of building types such as offices, public buildings Industry Residential buildings and estates Assessment: excellent, very good, good or average LEED The US LEED system (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) was developed in 1998 on the basis of the British BREEAM certification system. Certification was introduced in Canada in 2002. The requirements of the American system were transferred, and individual details relating to the climatic conditions, standard construction methods and national legislation were amended. Buildings are assessed by awarding points for individual criteria. The sum of the points awarded determines how the construction is classified during certification. LEED relates to all phases of the life cycle. The United States Green Building Council (USGBC), headquartered in Washington, and the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) in Ottawa, are responsible for the system and its further development. Assessment categories Sustainable land and soil Water efficiency Energy and atmosphere Materials and resources Interior design quality Innovation and design process Application area New buildings Existing buildings Core and building envelope Interior equipment for general and office administration Retail industry Residential buildings Urban development Schools Health and care facilities Assessment: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Certified DGNB In 2009, the first buildings in Germany were awarded the German Sustainable Construction Quality Seal from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB, itself founded in 2007). The DGNB developed its own certificate for Germany to close gaps in the existing systems and to introduce additional quality criteria which take German standards and regulations into account. The system builds on the life cycle analysis (LCA) and takes the ecological as well as the economic and socio-cultural aspects into account - i.e. all three pillars of sustainability. Technology, process and site location also play a role in the planning and construction of the building. The certificate also takes regional characteristics and construction materials into account. To achieve even the lowest level of certification, buildings need to far exceed the legal standards. Assessment categories Ecology Economics Social and functional aspects Technology Processes Location According to the building type, up to 40 sustainability criteria - which are continuously developed by independent panels of experts - are included in the assessment. Application area: The certificate has been designed for all types of existing buildings and new buildings, from commercial skyscrapers, to family homes and infrastructure such as tunnels and bridges. Ratings: Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze, and the special Diamond award. Online databases for green construction products Construction products significantly contribute to the sustainability of buildings. If planners or owners wish to gain certification, they need to schedule products which meet the certification requirements. Online databases help with product research and verification of the certification body. Manufacturers can document their commitment in the area of sustainability. IBU.data A database provided by the Institute for Construction and the Environment (IBU) which provides the ecological data from the environment product declarations (EPDs) in XML format. The EPDs can thus be used to calculate a building’s ecological assessments. DGNB Navigator The DGNB Navigator also lists construction products which feature environmental product declarations (EPDs) as well as complete information. The DGNB navigator builds a bridge between construction products and the DGNB certification system for buildings by providing the required data for building certification. greenbuildingproducts.eu A database for products which have been assessed according to DGNB, LEED or BREEAM criteria. The product database provides construction professionals with the required information and verification documents for the individual products in a pre-prepared form. The advantages include: Time-saving when researching products and collating evidence, planning security for Green Building Projects, and provision of all relevant evidence documents. building-material-scout.com Service platform for green building projects. The BMS offers a comprehensive tool for the planning and implementation of Green Buildings - from the automated evaluation of products according to the common sustainability criteria DGNB, LEED or BREEAM, to the simple and fast search for products with all relevant supporting documents, to the project documentation.

Our quality management system is certified according to the DIN EN ISO 9001 standard. The longevity of GEZE products is evidence of their sustainability. With a high proportion of metal raw materials, GEZE products are highly recyclable and so Exceptionally environmentally friendly. They also make an important contribution to energy-saving buildings. GEZE automatic door systems close reliably, reducing the loss of warm or cold air through the door opening. The automated window systems are also part of the aeration and ventilation system, which uses fresh air and the effects of wind and thermal technology. This is also taken into account for the EU-valid lowest energy standards, which are stipulated by the Energy Saving Ordinance in Germany. Intelligent drives with the latest controls from GEZE ensure aeration at the push of a button. They can also be combined with sensors which automatically open and close windows when needed. Natural ventilation and cooling at night also help to naturally cool buildings and to reduce the use of air-conditioning units. GEZE supports sustainable energy concepts with networked system solutions and the integration of GEZE drives into building technology or building management systems (which coordinate and monitor the window systems). The myGEZE Control building automation system for smart door, window and safety technology plays an important role in saving energy and makes buildings smart and green. GEZE products satisfy LEED and DGNB criteria GEZE products provide evidence of compliance with DGNB and LEED criteria via the EPDs and are therefore listed in the DGNB Navigator and greenbuildingproducts.eu online databases with the respective certificates. The certificates provide evidence of the number of points which a GEZE product can contribute to successful DGNB or LEED certification of a building. GEZE thus supports its clients in achieving Green Building certification. Sustainability at GEZE Sustainability is more than just a strategy for us.

Energy efficiency of buildings
… binding targets were established for Germany under the Federal Climate Protection Act (Bundes-Klimaschutzgesetz (KSG)) of 24/06/2021: Greenhouse gas reduction of 65 percent compared to 1990 levels by 2030 Greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045 Total energy needs and heat loss Thermal image of a façade: A lot of energy is being lost here! © shutterstock Building policy plays a key role in the building area in Germany's modern energy policy. Over a third of total final energy consumption is currently used up by buildings – for hot water, heating and cooling, ventilation and illumination. Often, a majority of heat indoors escapes out through the walls, windows, roofs, doors, or floors. Therefore, in the future, passive efficient houses and nearly zero energy buildings (abbreviated “NZEB”) will be used as the standard reference buildings across the EU. This is stipulated in the amended EU guidelines on overall building energy efficiency (“Energy Performance of Buildings Directive”, abbreviated EPBD). It will initially apply only to new buildings, but all buildings, including existing buildings and non-residential buildings, are supposed to be climate-neutral by 2045. On the one hand, it will be necessary to significantly reduce the energy needed for heating and cooling these zero emission buildings (abbreviated ZEB) during their construction and renovation. On the other, the percentage of renewable energy used to cover remaining needs must be significantly increased. High energy stipulations under building laws and regulations In the past, EU guidelines on overall building energy efficiency have been implemented in Germany through the Energy Savings Act (Energieeinsparungsgesetz (EnEG)), the Energy Savings Regulation (Energieeinsparungsverordnung (EnEV)) and the Renewable Energy Heating Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Wärmegesetz (EEWärmeG)).
