Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Acacias is a residential project located in Peru, with over 2,751 m² built, developed with a focus on efficiency and sustainability applied to the housing sector. The project incorporates strategies aimed at optimizing energy and water performance, aligning residential design with international sustainable construction standards.

Acacias features the EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), which validates compliance with minimum savings in energy, water, and materials compared to an equivalent conventional building.

What makes this project innovative?

Acacias' innovation lies in applying resource efficiency criteria to a mid-scale residential development, a segment where certified sustainability is still uncommon in the region.

The project stands out for:

• Optimizing energy consumption through efficient equipment and lighting.
• Reducing water consumption with low-flow fixtures and systems.
• Incorporating materials with a lower environmental impact throughout their lifecycle.
• Demonstrating the technical and economic viability of EDGE certification in residential projects.

Project Impact

Acacias' design was aimed at meeting the minimum thresholds required by EDGE in the energy, water, and materials categories, contributing to reducing the environmental footprint of residential development in the country.
