The IFC (World Bank Group) developed the EDGE green building certification system with the ambition of making sustainable construction both accessible and affordable for a wide range of building types. EDGE is widely used thanks to its cost-effectiveness and its straightforward methodology, which makes it particularly suitable for screening large portfolios of projects. It is commonly applied in the retail, residential, and hotel sectors.
It focuses on measurable resource efficiency in energy, water and embodied carbon in materials. With simple, data-driven tools, EDGE supports informed design decisions from early concept through construction phases.
Our EDGE experts and auditors are ready to help you assess both new, sustainable projects and existing portfolios.
