EDGE is a green building standard developed by International Finance Corporation (member of World Bank) that address national priorities with clear & achievable targets.

EDGE enables developers and builders to quickly identify the most cost-effective strategies to reduce energy use, water use and embodied carbon in materials.

The strategies that are integrated into the project design are verified by an EDGE Auditor and certified by GBCI.

EDGE can be applied in various types of building such as residential, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, retail, and office.

EDGE has three levels of certification, consisting: of EDGE Certified, EDGE Advance, and Zero Carbon.
