DGNB, BREEAM, and LEED certification in Europe's largest construction market. ISG delivers sustainability consultancy aligned with Germany's regulatory framework.
Germany operates one of the most demanding regulatory environments for building sustainability in the world. The Gebaudeenergiegesetz (GEG) — the Building Energy Act — sets minimum energy performance requirements that exceed most international benchmarks. The EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) adds further requirements, mandating nearly zero-energy buildings for all new construction.
The EU Taxonomy Regulation is reshaping investment decisions in German real estate. Buildings must demonstrate substantial contribution to climate change mitigation to qualify as sustainable investments under the taxonomy — directly impacting financing terms, insurance costs, and asset valuations. ISG helps developers and investors navigate these requirements, ensuring projects meet both regulatory compliance and market expectations.
