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 GL 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. DNV GL can also advise you on renewable energy, storage, and micro-grid options. Our integrated approach reduces overall lifecycle costs and supports you throughout the building certification process.
