ÖGNI – Austrian Sustainable Building Council is an NGO (non-governmental organisation) and NPO (non-profit organisation) that has been working to establish sustainability in the construction and real estate industry since 2009.
By certifying buildings and neighbourhoods, ÖGNI emphasises the added value of sustainable real estate. The aim is to create resource-efficient, economically and socially efficient buildings that are flexible in use and promote human well-being.
As a system partner of the DGNB (German Sustainable Building Council), the largest network for sustainable building in Europe, ÖGNI uses an established certification system that has been adapted and further developed for Austria.
As the only Austrian council, ÖGNI is an ‘established member’ of the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC) and strives to strengthen the European quality certificate internationally.
Certification: The work of ÖGNI focuses on the certification of sustainable buildings and neighbourhoods according to the internationally recognised DGNB system.
