What is EDGE?

EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is an international green building certification system developed by the IFC (International Finance Corporation), part of the World Bank Group.

It promotes resource-efficient buildings by focusing on measurable reductions in energy, water, and embodied materials. Using a robust simulation platform and technical review process, EDGE empowers projects to reduce environmental impact and quantify sustainable ROI early in the design phase.
