Everyone wins financially by building green.

Through bringing together those who design, develop, finance, incentivize, and live and work in green buildings, EDGE unlocks collaboration and provides a new paradigm for the future.

EDGE is a quick, easy and inexpensive way for builders to optimize their designs, leading to a more investment-worthy and marketable product.

EDGE certificates can be provided directly to Banks' buyers as proof of delivery on the developer’s promise to build green.

In addition to incentivizing the market, governments can endorse a green building certification system such as EDGE.
