High-performance buildings

High-performance buildings blend energy efficiency, durability, life-cycle performance and occupant productivity, helping the world to do more with its precious natural resources. DNV offers a comprehensive portfolio of services for owners, developers and architects who lack the technical know-how and risk management capabilities to design and / or gain certification of high-performance buildings.

Working as part of your design team, our experts perform conceptual design, advisory and commissioning activities. They help you set and meet sustainability objectives and manage associated risk.
