EDGE Certification
What is EDGE Certification?
EDGE focuses on energy, water, and material efficiencies, adopted to local conditions using the EDGE App. To qualify, buildings must achieve at least 20% savings in these areas to reduce carbon emissions and lower operational costs. This process saves time by generating instant documents and is a globally recognized green building certification system aligned with international green finance standards such as GRESB, ICMA, CBI, and CDP.
Edge Certification Levels
