Green Buildings Facilitation

Navigate complex green building rating requirements smoothly with TÜV SÜD

Whenever you are building a new structure or refurbishing an existing building, the challenge is to minimise the damage to the environment while providing a healthy workplace. The task of designing a sustainable and energy efficient building demands a comprehensive understanding of multiple aspects including local norms, existing green standards, quality standards, environmental regulations, safety standards, building codes as well as carbon tax.

TÜV SÜD provides you with the guidance necessary to navigate the requirements of national and international green building rating systems such as LEED, BREEAM and DGNB. Furthermore, TÜV SÜD plays a key facilitation role between you and the relevant Green Building Council or Certification Body and ensures that your commitment to sustainability is well documented according to the requirements.
