What is EDGE Zero Carbon Certification?

EDGE Zero Carbon certification is a great way for clients to demonstrate their commitment to reducing carbon emissions and mitigating the impacts of climate change. The certification requires projects to achieve a net zero carbon footprint, which means that the building must generate as much renewable energy as it consumes over the course of a year.

EDGE Zero Carbon certification is part of a global initiative to achieve zero carbon emissions from buildings by 2050, and it helps building owners and developers take meaningful steps toward this goal. The EDGE certification system was developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and is used to assess the environmental and financial performance of buildings.

What are the requirements?

There are three requirements for projects to be eligible for EDGE Zero Carbon certification:

  1. The building type must be among those that are included in the EDGE App.

  2. A building must have been in operation for at least one year at 75 percent of normal occupancy.

  3. A building must be certified as EDGE Advanced, which requires a minimum of 20 percent savings in water and embodied energy in materials and 40 percent savings in energy:

    1. For projects previously certified with EDGE, this can be shown with the achievement of EDGE Advanced. (EDGE Advanced is a one-time award that does not need to be renewed. Recognition is issued at the time of the awarding of a preliminary EDGE certificate and/or final EDGE certification and does not require additional fees).

    2. For projects not previously certified with EDGE, EDGE Advanced must first be achieved before EDGE Zero Carbon certification can be pursued.
