EDGE, green buildings, energy efficiency, sustainabilityAbstract
Environmental certifications have been implemented in the construction sector because of the benefits of reduced environmental impact, improved energy efficiency, and water use, among others. In recent years, the EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) certification has been adopted in more than 140 countries. However, despite its popularity, the literature on its environmental impacts worldwide and in Latin America is scarce. Therefore, the following article will analyze the use of EDGE in housing projects in Peru and show the strategies employed in the case studies to reduce the environmental impact. The main average savings obtained were 27.6% in energy, 41.2% in water, and 51.81% in embodied carbon in materials. The following study aids professionals in the construction sector interested in implementing EDGE certification in their projects, as it will show the environmental impacts generated by this certification.
