The EDGE standard is an international green building standard aimed at promoting and widely adopting simple and effective measures in construction to enhance energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, and minimize a building's carbon footprint.

Benefits of EDGE Certification

 

Owning and using real estate certified under the EDGE standard provides several benefits, including:

 

  • Green Incentives and Financing: The EDGE standard is included in the green project taxonomies of many countries, including Central Asian nations such as Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.
  • Reduced Utility Costs: EDGE focuses on reducing energy and water consumption, thereby lowering operational expenses.
  • Attracting Buyers and Tenants: Many international companies set ESG requirements for the properties they purchase or lease. Having an EDGE certificate can be a deciding factor for them.
  • Increased Market Value: A building certified by EDGE has a competitive advantage in the market, leading to a higher property value.
  • Marketing Opportunities: Attracting clients and investors by showcasing a commitment to ESG principles.
  • Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Protection against potential changes in carbon footprint regulations and maintaining a leading position in the market when stricter norms and standards are introduced.
