Department II

Department II – Health and Environmental Protection

Department II focuses on environmental and health protection, energy performance and sustainability.

Regulatory concerns addressed in this field include the protection of soil and groundwater, preventing emissions of dangerous substances from construction products into the indoor air and ensuring that suitable construction products and techniques are used where substances hazardous to water are handled.

The registration of energy performance certificates also falls within the remit of Department II, and so does the field of activity 'Protection against radiation from construction products'. In this area, DIBt has been designated by several federal states as the 'competent authority' pursuant to Sections 134 and 135 of the Radiation Protection Act (StrlSchG).
