Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

Lomas del Mirador is a residential development located in Pesquería, Nuevo León, Mexico, with over 48,602 m² built. The project, developed by Javer — one of Mexico's largest homebuilders — is made up of individual homes designed to maximize the functionality of each space and the comfort of the families who live there.

Lomas del Mirador holds EDGE certification (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies), a standard developed by the IFC (International Finance Corporation) that validates minimum savings of 20% in energy, water, and materials compared to an equivalent conventional home.

Under its certification, homes at Lomas del Mirador allow residents to save up to 30% on their water and electricity bills.

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of Lomas del Mirador lies in bringing EDGE certification to large-scale single-family housing, a segment where each individual saving is multiplied by the number of homes in the development.

The project stands out for:

• Applying EDGE specifications in a standardized way across hundreds of individual homes.
• Reducing water consumption through water-saving devices in each home.
• Optimizing the thermal design of homes to lower cooling and heating demand.
• Demonstrating the feasibility of certified social and middle-income housing in Mexico.

Project impact

By certifying each home under EDGE, Lomas del Mirador multiplies water and energy savings across the entire development, reducing residents' monthly expenses and the environmental footprint of the residential community.
