LET'S TALK

EDGE certification is a green building certification system focused on making buildings more resource-efficient and to attain Zero Carbon buildings of every type, everywhere.

EDGE enables developers and builders to quickly identify the most cost-effective strategies to reduce energy use, water use and embodied energy in materials. GPFI, as an EDGE Auditor, verifies the strategies integrated into the project design.
