DGNB Platinum Award
The Green Globe award for the RheinMain CongressCenter is a further milestone on the way to establishing Wiesbaden as a resource-conserving congress and conference location, which already scores highly in terms of sustainability thanks to its central location in the city, its short distances and its many green spaces.
DGNB Platinum
In 2015, three years before its opening, the RMCC was awarded the gold pre-certificate of the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB), an internationally recognized seal of quality, due to its above-average fulfillment of sustainability criteria.
When it opened in 2018, the RMCC was awarded the DGNB platinum certificate.
With this highest possible seal of quality, the association recognizes the RMCC as one of the most sustainable event centers in Germany. A quality feature that also scores points with event organizers.
DGNB Diamond
Since October 2018, the RMCC has also been delighted to receive the "DGNB Diamond" award for "outstanding design and building culture quality". For the DGNB, design and building culture are key aspects of holistic sustainability. Among other things, the society's Diamond recognition acknowledges the RheinMain CongressCenter's façade, which has a linearity typical of Wiesbaden in the form of colonnades that form an interface with the city. Projections help to make optimum use of daylight in the interior.
About the DGNB System
The DGNB describes certification as a "global benchmark for sustainability" among certification systems for sustainable buildings and districts. The DGNB has developed its own certification system to make sustainable building practicable, measurable and therefore comparable. Since then, the system has been continuously developed and is now not only considered the most advanced in the world, but is also internationally recognized as the Global Benchmark for Sustainability.
The independent certification process is used for transparent quality control. A DGNB certificate in platinum, gold or silver can be obtained as proof of this quality in construction. The assessment is based on the overall degree of fulfillment of the relevant criteria and usage profiles (opens in a new tab).
In addition, there are three special awards to complement the certificate: the DGNB Diamond for design and building culture quality, the DGNB "Climate Positive" award for climate-neutral buildings and the DGNB special eco-label award.
