Maarten Dansen is Project Manager at the Dutch Green Building Council for marketing and BREEAM-NL New Build. The Dutch Green Building Council (DGBC) was founded in 2008 in The Netherlands as a market initiative, Maarten has been with DGBC from the beginning. The aim was to make Sustainability measurable in the building industry by developing a sustainability label. Allowing for a uniform rating of buildings throughout the Netherlands. BREEAM-NL, the adapted English method, has now been widely accepted by the Dutch market, and DGBC is now supporting the development in other European countries. The aim is one standard for sustainability in Europe.
