🌍 #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. Congratulations to everyone involved in this remarkable achievement. 🔗Read more: https://lnkd.in/eZAeX-pe #TheGEMGoesGreen #Sustainability #GreenBuildings #edgebuildings #edgeiseverywhere #sustainableEgypt IFC Africa HBRC Housing and Building National Research Center Sintali CHEICK-OUMAR SYLLA Marwa Mahgoub Radwa Hammam Sarah Moussa Maysoon Al-Khuraissat Ommid Saberi Diep Nguyen-van Houtte Sarah Santucci Michelle M.

The EDGE Buildings team came together in Cape Town, South Africa last month for the 8th Annual Africa Property Investors Summit (API Events), where we both celebrated our continued commitment to the decarbonization of the built environment and mourned the noteworthy absence of our beloved late colleague Dennis Papa Odenyi Quansah. Dennis was honored at the event with the first annual API Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless commitment to promoting sustainable development and green buildings throughout Africa. The award will continue in his memory at future Summits, with honorees who share his vision and passion. The EDGE team accepted the award on Dennis's behalf, and our heartfelt condolences continue to go out to his family, friends, and all who knew him.
