The project will receive the designation “EDGE Advanced” if you achieve an expected energy savings of at least 40%, together with an expected savings of at least 20% in water and energy incorporated in materials.
There is no additional cost associated with obtaining recognition as EDGE Advanced for a project.
Projects that obtain EDGE Advanced certification and meet all their real operational energy needs with renewable energy sources, either on site or off site, or that purchase carbon offsets to achieve a 100% carbon-free energy supply, have the option of seeking EDGE Zero Carbon certification.
SENATI's new Campus Independence Technology Center in Peru has obtained EDGE Advanced certification, being the first to do so in the country. This certification has resulted in significant savings, including 47% in energy consumption, 40% in water use and a 45.6% decrease in energy incorporated into building materials. In addition, during its operation, this building will stop emitting approximately 61 tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per year.
Our consultant, Leaf Latam, was part of the certification process for this project together with Binswanger Peru, responsible for Project Management and Construction Supervision. They announced on their website the ecological characteristics of the new Senati headquarters:

Projects that integrate energy efficiency, carbon reduction, well-being, and environmental certifications stand out in competitive markets and protect long-term asset value.
LEED certification in Latin America has become a key driver of value, efficiency and market differentiation in real estate projects. This article explains what LEED certification is, how the process works in LATAM, the main stages, real costs and timelines, and its impact on asset value and resale potential. A practical guide for developers, investors and project teams seeking sustainable construction under international standards.
EDGE certification is one of the fastest and most effective ways to create efficient buildings, reduce energy, water, and material consumption, and increase property resale value. Developed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, EDGE helps real estate projects lower their environmental impact, reduce operating costs, and support decarbonization efforts. With a streamlined and measurable process, EDGE has become a strategic certification for developers and investors seeking sustainability, profitability, and market differentiation.
