Gastronomy interiors

Certify gastronomy interiors with the DGNB

Anyone who runs a restaurant or café wants to offer their visitors an all-round good experience. This is not only influenced by the quality of the food and drinks and the friendliness of the staff. The premises also make a decisive contribution to the satisfaction of the guests. The many aspects of sustainability play an important role here. Properly applied, they contribute to people – guests and staff – feeling comfortable and at ease in the rooms and that the environment is not unnecessarily polluted. The fit-out also pays off economically if the criteria of DGNB Certification are taken into account at an early stage in the planning.

For gastronomy interiors, there is currently no DGNB System available in English or for international certification. Please contact us for further information and if interested.
