January 2009 – June 2012
In 2009, the discount retailer Lidl and energy design experts from Drees & Sommer developed the concept for a new, sustainable generation of stores. The first pilot store was opened in the same year and was awarded the German Sustainable Building Seal (DGNB) in Silver in 2010.
Based on experience with the pilot store, the building description template was modified with Lidl and subsequently certified as a master plan by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) as part of a collective certification. Where conditions allow, this will permit new store buildings to be built in accordance with the new concept and certified with a Green Building label using a streamlined process.
