This comprehensive program unites three core components:
- EDGE Expert Training, which builds proficiency in the EDGE software and certification process for green buildings;
- Designing for Greater Efficiencies (DfGE), an online course that teaches how to optimize energy, water, and materials during early design stages;
- EDGE Municipal Toolkit, which guides public sector stakeholders in deploying fiscal and regulatory incentives to accelerate market transformation.
Participants will develop the technical capacity to design and certify resource-efficient buildings, alongside the policy acumen to implement enabling frameworks such as codes, incentives, and compliance mechanisms. Through case studies, interactive exercises, and practical tools, learners explore how to align public incentives with private sector uptake of sustainable construction. The program encourages collaboration across disciplines—architects, engineers, planners, and regulators—to scale low-carbon, resilient infrastructure. Graduates will be equipped to lead initiatives that mainstream green building practices at both project and municipal levels.
