Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung einfach gemacht

sustainability rating

Nachhaltigkeit beginnt mit der richtigen Materialwahl. Nutzen Sie unser interaktives Tool, um den Energie- und CO₂-Fußabdruck von hunderten Baustoffen zu vergleichen. Wählen Sie Ihre Materialien aus und generieren Sie kostenlos einen Bericht – ideal für nachhaltige Planung, Renovierung oder Verkauf.
Benötigen Sie Unterstützung bei der Auswahl oder Auswertung? Nutzen Sie einfach das Kontaktformular unten – wir beraten Sie gerne.

Warum ist das so wichtig?Indem Sie die Nachhaltigkeit Ihres Projekts verbessern, können Sie:

Langfristig niedrigere Energiekosten

Sustainable decisions reduces energy consumption, which is  cuts operational costs significantly over time.

Wohlbefinden
steigern

Nachhaltige Projekte verbessern die Luftqualität in Innenräumen, das natürliche Licht und den Komfort für die Bewohner.

Immobilienwert steigern

Nachhaltige Projekte sind für Käufer und Investoren attraktiver und erhöhen den Marktwert.

Einen positiven Einfluss haben

Ihr Projekt wird zur Erhaltung der Umwelt und zu einer nachhaltigeren Zukunft für alle beitragen.
