The established belief emphasizes that integrated design must permeate all areas of the industry. Key questions remain:
1.) How well do we understand the system boundaries and network effects throughout the lifecycle of a project? 2.) Since COP15 which new trends have emerged in the field of buildings standards? 3.) Does this dialogue warrant a specific Danish Standard? 4.) What can innovation teach us about scaling standards to incorporate communities?

Anders Lendager Over the last eight years, Anders Lendager, has sought to gain insight into what sustainability issues are, what the response can be and what it should be. Since his graduation project (a research station focusing on storage of CO2 in the ice at the North Pole), he has varied and diligently explored the concept of sustainability, to get the most comprehensive insight as possible. Through LEED certification, he has earned the ability to understand and analyze energy consumption, CO2 impact and the technical aspects of sustainability, and with his DGNB certification, he is one of only a few in Denmark, who has the stamp to be able to build sustainably – in accordance with the social, economic and environmental considerations.”
