Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

John Neper is a residential project located in Peru, with over 1,181 m2 built. Its small scale positions it as a boutique building, designed for a limited number of families seeking efficient housing in an exclusive format.

John Neper holds EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), which validates minimum savings of 20% in energy, water, and materials compared to an equivalent conventional building.

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of John Neper lies in proving that EDGE certification is equally achievable in small-scale residential buildings, a segment where certified sustainability is often perceived as less accessible.

The project stands out for:

• Incorporating efficient equipment and lighting that reduce common-area energy consumption.
• Optimizing water use through low-flow fixtures and systems.
• Using construction materials with a lower environmental impact across their life cycle.
• Offering a small number of families the benefits of living in a certified building.

Project impact

John Neper confirms that the benefits of EDGE certification —lower resource consumption and reduced operating costs— are also achievable in compact residential projects.
