The DGNB Diamond award procedure<\/span><\/h2>\nThe DGNB Diamond stands for excellent design and building culture quality. The aim of the award is to make architectural quality visible as an essential component of sustainable construction and thus strengthen the long-term value and useful life of buildings. <\/p>\n
As part of an independent award procedure, the DGNB assesses the architectural quality of building projects independently of traditional sustainability certification. The assessment principles were developed together with the Federal Chamber of Architects (BAK) and the Association of German Architects (BDA). <\/p>\n
The DGNB Diamond is awarded to building projects that have already achieved at least one DGNB Gold or Platinum certification and are also characterized by exceptional design and building culture quality. In addition to the DGNB Diamond, DGNB recognition can also be awarded for particularly successful architectural quality. <\/p>\n
The assessment is carried out by an independent commission for design quality as part of an on-site inspection. This personal inspection ensures that not only planning concepts but also the actual implementation and effect of the building are assessed. <\/p>\n

All criteria are evaluated from the aspect of <\/span>Appropriateness, <\/span>quality and <\/span>timelessness evaluated. In particular, the following four topics are taken into account: <\/span><\/p>\n\n- \n
Appropriateness and sustainability of the design: Among other things, construction, choice of materials, scale and the fit between architectural task and implementation are assessed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
Context and integration: The focus here is on urban integration, interaction with the surroundings and the design and use of open spaces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
