Certified sustainability projects

Project Description

San Felipe is a residential project located in Peru, with more than 17,699 m² built, situated in one of Lima's most established residential areas. The development incorporates resource-efficiency criteria applied to the housing sector, aligning residential design with international sustainable construction standards.

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

What makes this project innovative?

The innovation of San Felipe lies in applying certified sustainability criteria to a large-scale residential development, in an area of the city with high housing density.

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 across their life cycle.
• Demonstrating the feasibility of EDGE certification in large-scale residential projects.

Project impact

San Felipe was designed to meet the minimum thresholds required by EDGE in the energy, water, and materials categories, helping to reduce the environmental footprint of multifamily housing in Lima.
