🌍 #EDGEBuildings Country Spotlight: Egypt 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that the Grand Egyptian Museum has been awarded #EDGEAdvanced Certification from IFC - International Finance Corporation. With the crucial support from SECO Economic Cooperation and Development and the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, this is the first museum to achieve EDGE Advanced Certification in Africa and Middle East. This recognition underscores Egypt’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, while maintaining the legacy of respect for natural resources that runs deep in the country’s rich history. The museum's innovative design and energy-efficient features have not only earned Advanced green certification from IFC, but also set a new standard for green development in Egypt. The Grand Egyptian Museum Campus is one-of-a-kind with a site area of 500,000 m², with the museum itself comprising a total built-up area of 76,658 m². The high-end sustainable design of the museum contributed to the project’s success in earning the EDGE Advanced Green Building Certification.

#PropertyReportArchives: In business, we often turn to the least risky option. However, new tools or processes often lead to improved productivity and greater savings if implemented correctly. This is the case with green buildings in real estate. With the dire impact of climate change manifesting all around us, the real estate industry can mitigate the adverse effects. But who are we to compel them to make a change when they are the ones staking all their resources? At the first virtual edition of the annual PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit, Prashant Kapoor, the chief industry specialist for green buildings and climate-smart cities at the IFC - International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank, answers the Whys and Hows of green building and green financing. (This article is based on IFC’s Finance Keynote at the PropertyGuru Asia Real Estate Summit originally presented on 3 December 2020, and first posted online on 09 November 2021) #PGPropertyReport #realestate #sustainability #ClimateAction #greenbuilding #GreenFInancing

Today we celebrated the successful accreditation of engineers as ‘EDGE Experts’ trained on how to design #greenbuildings in #Jordan. These engineers come from Jordan’s government and municipalities and join a pool of 'EDGE Experts' from the private sector, marking a more than twofold increase in the number of Jordanians who hold this accreditation over the past year and a half. This is key given that buildings are responsible for approximately 39% of global energy-related GHG emissions and are major consumers of both energy and water. This new initiative is expected to help increase the number of green buildings in Jordan and support the country’s sustainability goals by reducing GHG emissions and improving resource efficiency in the construction sector. It is implemented in collaboration with بنك تنمية المدن والقرى - الأردن CVDB - Jordan and in partnership with the government of the Netherlands (Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken). Globally, EDGE Buildings - Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies - is an IFC innovation designed to advance sustainable building practices and expand their impact. It is currently funded by UK’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, with original funding from Switzerland's SECO Economic Cooperation and Development . The ‘EDGE Expert’ is a recognized professional role within the EDGE green building system. We are proud to witness a growing number of ‘EDGE Experts’ in Jordan and remain committed to helping make the country’s buildings greener and more sustainable.

العمل نحو #البناء_المستدام يتطلب اكتساب المعرفة والمهارات اللازمة لذلك. بالتعاون مع بنك تنمية المدن والقرى - الأردن احتفلنا اليوم بحصول أول دفعة من المهندسين الأردنيين الذين يعملون في الجهات الحكومية والبلديات في جميع انحاء المملكة على اعتماد EDGE Expert ضمن نظام EDGE Buildings للأبنية الخضراء – والذي ابتكرته مؤسسة التمويل الدولية لتعزيز ممارسات #البناء_المستدام. من الجدير بالذكر ان هؤلاء المهندسين قد انضموا الى مجموعة من خبراء EDGE الأردنيين من القطاع الخاص مما أدى إلى زيادة عدد خبراء EDGE الأردنيين ليصبح أكثر من الضعف خلال العام ونصف العام الماضيين. إن تأهيل هؤلاء المهندسين كخبراء EDGE يعزز من قدرتهم على تصميم المباني الخضراء المستدامة ويسهم في نشر #البناء_الأخضر في #الأردن مما يساهم في تحقيق اهداف المملكة في مجال #الاستدامة من خلال تقليل انبعاثات الغاز الدفينة وتحسين كفاءة موارد الطاقة والمياه في قطاع البناء. يتم تنفيذ نظام EDGE بالتعاون مع بنك تنمية المدن والقرى - الأردن CVDB - Jordan وبالشراكة مع الحكومة الهولندية ويتم تمويله حاليًا من قبل دائرة أمن الطاقة بالمملكة المتحدة (DESNZ)، ومن قبل تمويل أصلي من هيئة التعاون الاقتصادي والتنمية السويسرية. للمزيد من المعلومات عن نظام EDGE قم بزيارة: edgebuildings.com Khawaja Aftab Ahmed; Osama M Al Azzam; Abeer Shalan; Hind Al Hadidi; SECO Economic Cooperation and Development ; Department for Energy Security and Net Zero; Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken; Maysoon Al-Khuraissat
