EDGE calculates the utility savings and reduced carbon footprint of a green building against a base case. For non-residential buildings, user can see how much extra it costs to build green - and how short a time it takes to earn back the money through operational savings.
The EDGE system makes energy and water efficient design accessible for almost any building project, of any budget, within minutes. The EDGE software provides cost-effective design options, calculates pay-backs from utility savings, forecasts GHG savings, and building efficiency can be certified at minimal cost.
