In Germany the sustainable quality of buildings is increasingly verified in form of so called green building certifications. To successfully label a building, the participation of various stakeholders in the preparation of supporting documentation is required. Comprehension of the professionals involved for each green building requirements and their documentation requirements are an essential part of a successful certification process. The training concept includes the four currently particularly relevant green building certification systems in Germany: BNB, BREEAM, DGNB and LEED. The standard applies to trainings for the purpose of training specialists in architecture, civil engineering, facility management and building services as well as builders and project managers. The trainings contain the assessment of the sustainability of the built environment in the context of certification systems. This is related to new certifications (focus on office and administration buildings). The contents of the system-specific component certificates are not included in the standard. The mediated knowledge supports the protagonists in the processing of the required documentation in each building certificate.
