EDGE Buildings’ Post

🌍 #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.
