EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is a green building certification system that enables design teams and project owners to assess ways to incorporate energy and water-saving options into their buildings. An innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE combines speed with market intelligence, bringing an investment focus to green building certification in more than 140 countries.
