Hotel interiors

Certify sustainable hotel interiors with the DGNB

In the sustainable development of hotels or hotel-like hostels, the focus is not only on economic and ecological aspects, but also on the well-being of guests and staff. The use of pollutant-free materials and the guarantee of high indoor air quality are just a few aspects that have a positive impact on the comfort and health of the people in the buildings. The scheme for hotel Interiors serves as a planning and optimisation tool to take these and many other aspects of sustainable construction and operation into account at an early stage when developing the premises and to have them independently certified.

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

The certificate is aimed at all organisations that want to plan, implement and set up the expansion of an accommodation area in a new or existing building. This can be tenants, investors or property owners. For example, anyone who stays overnight in a hotel and spends a lot of time in the interior, the DGNB Certificate serves as independently verified proof of the holistic sustainability quality of the interior.
