1. What is the EDGE Green Building Certification?

As climate change becomes an increasingly urgent issue, the construction industry plays a crucial role in mitigating environmental impacts. Developing green buildings not only optimizes operational costs but also contributes to global emission reduction goals. One of the world’s leading green building certifications is EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group.

EDGE is a certification system designed to promote cost-effective sustainable building solutions. The certification aims to help commercial buildings, residential properties, and other structures optimize three key factors:

• Energy savings: EDGE-certified buildings must reduce energy consumption by at least 20% compared to conventional buildings. This helps lower electricity costs, improve operational efficiency, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

•  

• Water conservation: Buildings must cut water usage by at least 20% through solutions such as water recycling systems and low-flow faucets and showers. This not only preserves natural resources but also reduces long-term water expenses.

•  

• Efficient building materials: EDGE requires buildings to reduce embodied carbon in construction materials by at least 20%. This means using materials with lower carbon emissions or high recyclability.

•  

The EDGE certification is not just a technical standard—it also provides economic benefits for investors, operators, and tenants. EDGE-certified buildings save on operational costs, enhance workplace quality, and increase property value in the long term.
