EDGE focuses on energy, water, and embodied energy in materials for a quantitative approach. In other words, EDGE allows us to evaluate and easily compare the “greenness” of buildings. As in the case of the Bwiza Riverside homes built by ADHI Rwanda, each individual building is individually assessed according to materials used, design and other engineering factors.
