DGNB Certification #

The SURAP DGNB approach is adapted to the DGNB certification (Version 2018 and 2023). It uses Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and generic Data from ÖKOBAUDAT.

Life cycle phases #

The following life cycle modules, in accordance with EN 15978, are available in the SURAP DGNB database: A1-A3, B4, B6, C3, C4, D1, D2.

Environmental Impact Indicators, DNGB Version 2023 #

Abbrev.	Indicator	Unit
GWP	Global Warming Potential	kg CO2-eq.
ODP	Ozone Depletion Potential	kg CFC 11 eq.
POCP	Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential	kg C2H2 eq.

PENRT	Total use of non renewable primary energy resources	MJ
PERT	Total use of primary energy resources	MJ

In the new DGNB version (2023), credits can be obtained by calculating the GWP-fossil values of the manufacturing phase. To calculate the GWP-fossil according to EN15804+A2, please use the level(s) approach within SURAP.
