Since 2009, the DGNB has been awarding certificates in the gold, silver and bronze categories. In 2015, the platinum certificate was presented as a new top award level. Based in Stuttgart, the non-profit organization distinguishes the sustainability of buildings and neighborhoods according to objective criteria. The quality is assessed throughout the entire building lifecycle. The DGNB system is now considered the "Global Benchmark for Sustainability." The gold pre-certificate for sustainable residential buildings was awarded to GLINT on 26 September 2017.

The Berlin-based project Urbane Mitte Am Gleisdreieck has achieved the DGNB platinum pre-certification on 01 October 2017 for sustainable commercial quarters. Ecological quality, economic quality, socio-cultural and functional quality, technical quality, process quality and location quality are the key topics here. For the platinum award, a high degree of fulfillment is required in the first five subject areas, as well as the achievement of the overall fulfillment level.

On 23 September 2015, Geisberg was the first project to receive the gold pre-certificate for new residential buildings from the DGNB. The DGNB distinguishes existing buildings, new buildings, interiors and quarters. COPRO has far exceeded the minimum degree of performance required for this award. The valuation basis is not exclusively based on ecological aspects - the entire lifecycle of a building or urban quarter is considered holistically.
