DGNB is the certification system of the German Sustainable Building Council. It assesses ecological, economic and sociocultural quality together across the building's life cycle, with lifecycle assessment and lifecycle costing at its core. An international version of the system is used in countries without a local DGNB partner.
The training is delivered by a DGNB trainer and leaves ample room to discuss DGNB and current approaches to sustainable development. It follows the content of the International DGNB Consultant qualification.

Admission requires a relevant degree with professional experience, or vocational training in construction or real estate with five years of experience. Passing brings the International DGNB Consultant title, a listing on the DGNB website, and qualification as an International DGNB Auditor after a first certified project.
