Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Barrio Verde is a residential project located in Peru, with more than 6,991 m² built, developed under a resource-efficiency approach applied to multifamily development. Its name reflects the project's commitment to incorporating environmental criteria from the design stage, in line with the growing demand for certified housing in the country.

Barrio Verde holds EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), which validates minimum energy, water, and materials savings compared to an equivalent conventional building.

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of Barrio Verde lies in integrating certifiable sustainability criteria into a mid-scale residential development, giving future owners access to the financial benefits tied to sustainable housing in Peru.

The project stands out for:

• Optimizing energy consumption through LED lighting and efficient equipment in apartments and common areas.
• Reducing water consumption with low-flow fixtures and sanitary fittings.
• Incorporating construction materials with a lower environmental impact across their life cycle.
• Qualifying its units for the green bonus granted by Fondo Mivivienda to EDGE-certified homes.

Project impact

Barrio Verde was designed to meet the minimum thresholds required by EDGE in the energy, water, and materials categories, bringing the benefits of certified sustainable construction closer to more Peruvian families.
