EDGE Buildings Training and Toolkits

This integrated training suite equips professionals from both the private and public sector with the skills and tools to advance sustainable building practices and adoption. Participants gain hands-on experience with EDGE green building certification through EDGE Expert Training, learn to embed resource efficiency in early-stage design via the Designing for Greater Efficiency (DfGE) course, and explore public policy instruments in the EDGE Municipal Toolkit that incentivize sustainable construction. The program fosters strategic, technical, and regulatory alignment for impactful climate action in the built environment.

Overview

This comprehensive program unites three core components:

  1. EDGE Expert Training, which builds proficiency in the EDGE software and certification process for green buildings;
  2. Designing for Greater Efficiencies (DfGE), an online course that teaches how to optimize energy, water, and materials during early design stages;
  3. 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.
