Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Coronel Inclán is a residential project located in Peru, with over 2,085 m² built, conceived as a compact boutique building that applies energy and water efficiency criteria from the design stage. Its size allows for an agile implementation of sustainability strategies without sacrificing architectural quality.

Coronel Inclán 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 Coronel Inclán is in demonstrating that EDGE certification is equally viable in small-scale residential buildings, a segment where environmental certification is often perceived as harder to implement due to its smaller footprint.

The project stands out for:

• Using low-consumption LED lighting in apartments and common areas.
• Incorporating low-flow fixtures and sanitary fittings to reduce water consumption.
• Selecting construction materials with a lower environmental impact across their life cycle.
• Backing its savings through the modeling and technical audit process required by EDGE.

Project impact

Coronel Inclán was designed to meet the minimum thresholds required by EDGE in the energy, water, and materials categories, demonstrating that certified sustainable construction is also viable in smaller-scale residential projects.
