What if your next building project could use 20% less energy, 20% less water, and cost less, without compromising on quality?
EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a green building certification developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), designed especially for emerging markets like Armenia. It is an accessible and cost-effective solution for builders looking to go green.
Unlike other sustainability standards that can feel overwhelming or expensive, EDGE focuses on three core measurable areas:
1️⃣ Energy: High-performance windows, insulation, solar PV, etc.
2️⃣ Water: efficient faucets/toilets.
3️⃣ Materials: Hollow-core slabs, recycled content.
🔧 Why builders choose EDGE?
✔️ Fast, data-driven certification process
✔️ Simpler than other green certification processes
✔️ It is approximately 70% cheaper than other green certifications, without any risk to marketability.
In Armenia, where construction is rapidly evolving, EDGE can help align our urban development with global sustainability goals — without overburdening developers.
