Backed by the rigorous DGNB Certification System and innovative technique to green buildings, districts and interiors, its vibrant cities – Berlin and Hamburg – offer a wealth of learning opportunities. 

Berlin, with its history of transformation, has embraced sustainable building design and practices, resulting in buildings with low energy consumption and wise use of resources. Hamburg, home to the exemplar HafenCity development, showcases a large-scale urban regeneration project that prioritises sustainable community living.
