LEED & EDGE

Green building certifications for energy efficiency and sustainability.

LEED CertificatE

A green building is designed and constructed to reduce or eliminate negative impacts on the environment and occupants. It focuses on efficient use of energy, water, and materials while improving indoor environmental quality. Green buildings help lower carbon emissions, reduce operational costs, and create healthier spaces for people. They also promote sustainability by incorporating renewable energy, waste reduction, and eco-friendly design strategies—benefiting both the environment and the economy.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is the world’s most widely used green building certification system, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It provides a framework for creating healthy, efficient, and sustainable buildings. Projects earn points across areas like energy use, water efficiency, materials, indoor air quality, and innovation. Based on total points, buildings are certified at one of four levels: Certified, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. LEED helps reduce environmental impact, cut costs, and improve building performance.

EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a green building certification developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group. It focuses on making buildings more resource-efficient by targeting at least 20% savings in energy, water, and materials compared to conventional buildings. EDGE is simple, affordable, and tailored for emerging markets, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial projects. It helps reduce environmental impact while delivering measurable cost savings.
