EDGE Certification

Efficiency and Sustainability for Your Buildings

Lead the Way to Sustainable Construction With EDGE Certification

At Sustain Quality, we offer specialized services so that companies and developers can obtain EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification. In short, this is a global standard that promotes efficiency in energy, water, and materials in construction. Furthermore, with our consulting services, your company can stand out in the market as a leader in sustainable construction, saving resources and reducing operational costs at the same time.

What is EDGE Certification and Why Is It Important?

EDGE Certification is an initiative that the IFC (International Finance Corporation) develops. Indeed, it encourages the construction of more efficient buildings. Specifically, the IFC designs it for new and existing buildings, as it allows owners and developers to build and manage properties that use fewer natural resources. Therefore, the certification guarantees that the building meets a minimum savings of 20% in energy, water, and materials.

In addition, EDGE Certification is important because it gives companies a competitive advantage. Not only does it reduce operational costs, but it also helps attract investors and tenants who prioritize sustainability. Moreover, it helps organizations comply with international environmental standards and demonstrate their commitment to a greener future.

Benefits of EDGE Certification

Resource Efficiency

First and foremost, EDGE Certification significantly reduces energy and water consumption, generating long-term savings throughout the building's lifecycle. As a result, property owners can cut operational expenses while contributing to a more sustainable environment.

Attracting Investors and Occupants

Furthermore, buildings with EDGE Certification are more attractive to conscious investors and occupants who value environmental responsibility. Consequently, this certification adds measurable value to your asset and opens doors to a broader market of sustainability-focused stakeholders.

Competitive Differentiation

Finally, standing out in the sustainable construction sector is now within reach. Since EDGE Certification distinguishes your project from competitors, it increases the perceived and actual value of your property. Thus, your project gains recognition as a forward-thinking, responsible development.

How does our EDGE certification process work?

To ensure your building achieves EDGE Certification, we follow a detailed and structured process. Because we want to cover all the necessary steps for success, we divide the process into six clear stages.

01

Initial Assessment and Goal Setting
We conducted an initial project assessment and, in short, defined savings goals for energy, water, and materials, according to EDGE criteria.

02

Simulation and Planning with the EDGE Tool

We use the official EDGE tool to simulate the impact of sustainable strategies on building performance, helping to plan for the efficient use of resources.

03

Developing Efficiency Strategies

We identify best practices and solutions to improve energy, water, and material efficiency in your project, ultimately ensuring that EDGE requirements are met.

04

Data Collection and Documentation

We gather and organize all the necessary documentation to prove the improvements and performance of the building.

05

Submission and Verification Process

After implementing the strategies, we submit the project for certification to the EDGE certification body and monitor the process, as we guarantee its success.

06

Continuous Optimization and Support

We continue to monitor the building's performance and offer support for future improvements and re-certifications.
