EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is an internationally recognised green building certification system, which certifies buildings that achieve a minimum of a 20% reduction in energy and water usage and embodied energy of the building materials used compared to traditional construction.
Green Building Certification
The increasing demand for sustainability, in relation to products and processes, is leading to rapid changes in policies, laws, and regulations around the world, to encourage more sustainable projects.
A number of rating systems, therefore, exist to assess the environmental impacts of buildings, constructions, infrastructure, urban-scale projects, and community projects.
EDGE is a Green Building Certification that is designed to assist projects to be more sustainable by providing frameworks with a set of criteria that cover several aspects of a project’s environmental impact.
