ADHI Rwanda EDGE Certificates as displayed in the Bwiza Riverside model homes.

EDGE (“Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies”) is a green building standard and an international green building certification system.
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.
Below is a summary of the EDGE-Certified ENERGY SAVINGS of ADHI Rwanda buildings:
