The DGNB has defined target values for each criterion. Up to 10 assessment points are awarded for reaching the target specifications. Depending on the scheme, some criteria are weighted differently.
The concrete score for the six quality sections is calculated from the combination of the assessment points with the relevant weighting. The total score for the overall project is calculated from the five quality sections based on their weighting. Site quality is considered separately and this aspect is included in the marketability criterion. In the case of urban districts, site quality is incorporated in all criteria.
