THE NEED FOR GREEN BUILDINGS
BACKGROUND: GLOBAL OUTLOOK FOR ENERGY AND WATER
Energy Outlook for 2035 Global water consumption has grown at more than
• Energy consumption will grow by 37% twice the rate of population increase in the last
century.
• 96% of growth will occur in developing countries
In developing countries this will increase by
another 50% by 2025.
There will be a 100% increase in the population of Water Outlook for 2025
developing countries by 2050. • 1.8 billion people will suffer absolute water scarcity
Emerging markets are in the midst of a construction • 2/3 of the population will have water stress

WHAT IS DRIVING THE GREEN BUILDINGS MARKET?
• National and regional policies to address climate change

• Increasing energy costs
• The rise of voluntary green building certification
• Incentives for energy efficiency and micro-renewable energy
• Ethical investment, environmental reporting and green bonds and ESG

A CERTIFIED GREEN BUILDING HAS GREATER EFFICIENCY
Green building certification typically focuses on multiple categories of sustainable buildings. E.g. Sustainable sites, water
efficiency, energy efficiency, waste management, indoor air quality, sustainable transport, etc. However, EDGE focuses on
resource efficiency and carbon emission reduction

WHY EDGE?
FINANCIAL CALCULATOR No other certification system has free software to calculate the cost of going
green.
QUANTITATIVE APPROACH EDGE uses projected performance for a uniquely measurable approach.
ONE-STOP SHOP Efficiency simulations are executed in EDGE and the entire certification process can be
conducted within the software.
PROJECT INTEGRATION Certification compliance can be achieved with invoices, photos and a few
architectural drawings.
LOCATION-SPECIFIC EDGE has climate and lifestyle data for the most accurate results.
GREEN BUILDINGS FOR ALL Fast and affordable, EDGE makes certification available for everyone.

2.1 EDGE METHODOLOGY & SOFTWARE

2.3 WORKSHOP 1 - PRACTICAL EXERCISE
60 MIN.

EDGE METHODOLOGY
BASE CASE VS. IMPROVED CASE BUILDING
The EDGE software compares an improved
(project-specific) case relative to a local base case:

❑ % reduction in energy consumption;
❑ % reduction in water consumption;
❑ % reduction in embodied energy in materials;
❑ utilities cost savings relative to base case.
Energy use for the base case in each city* is based on

current building practices or local building code if enforced.
*If the city does not exist in the EDGE App, select the closest city to the project location and edit the climate data if necessary.

GEOMETRY & BUILDING ORIENTATION

Energy and Water, and Energy and Materials measures are inter-related. For example,
reduction in hot water use will reduce the energy used to produce hot water. A change
in Materials can change the thermal performance of a wall or roof, unless the U-value
is specified by the user.
EDGE METHODOLOGY
THERMAL CALCULATIONS & VIRTUAL ENERGY
_____
An important concept in EDGE is that of virtual energy. It appears when a cooling or heating system is not installed in the building. Virtual
energy is the amount of energy that would be used to reach defined comfort conditions should air-conditioning and heating be installed in the
future. Virtual energy will be shown as energy savings, however it does not contribute savings to utility bill calculations in the EDGE software.

EDGE uses a monthly quasi-steady-state calculation method based on the European CEN and ISO 13790 standards to
assess annual energy use for the space heating and cooling of the building.

EDGE METHODOLOGY
BASE CASE WILL CHANGE OVER TIME
The EDGE base case is based on local standard practices and codes. Local_____
baselines are periodically updated to reflect changes in construction practices
relating to energy, water and materials. So, a building that passes the EDGE standard in 2020 may fail in 2025 if local construction improves.

REFLECTIVE PAINT FOR ROOF AND EXTERNAL WALLS
SURFACE REFLECTIVITY
If opaque building elements exposed to solar radiation are painted white or with a reflective finish, shaded or have green roofs, much of the incident radiation
can be reflected away from the surface.

U = measure of conductive heat flow
Sticker on a window glass indicating its U-value R = measure of thermal resistance
U = 1/R

EEM09*: EFFICIENCY OF GLASS
SOLAR CONTROL
▪ Glazing with spectrally selective coatings

allows in daylight but “reflects” heat.
▪ Low-E coating on glass changes the surface

property, making it less emissive (reducing
its ability to radiate). This can be used to
either keep heat inside or outside depending
on the location of the low-E coating.
Low-E coating reduces the Solar Heat Gain Coefficient

(SHGC) and thermal resistance (U-Value) of the glazing.

This measure can be claimed when two

conditions are met.
1. Room geometry conditions must be
met. These include the ‘room depth to

‘minimum area of opening.’
2. If the rooms are air-conditioned, the

air-conditioning system in the rooms
must be provided with an

EEM13*: COOLING SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
▪ EDGE uses the Coefficient of Performance (COP) to measure the efficiency of
air conditioning systems.

EXAMPLE: HOW TO FIND COP OF SYSTEM
BTU/h can be transformed into Q out:

12,000 * 0.293 = 3,517 W
Energy consumption correspond to Win

Win = 1,000 W

water in an enclosed tank
▪ Move heat rather than generate heat, heat pumps can provide efficiencies
greater than 100%
▪ Efficiency of a heat pump is indicated by the Coefficient of Performance
Boilers
▪ The most efficiency boilers have a max efficiency of around 98% because some
heat is lost via the flue gases and through the main body of the boiler
▪ Types of Hot Water Boilers include Condensing boilers, Combi Boiler, Low
Temperature Hot Water boilers, High Efficiency Boilers
▪ Efficiency of a boiler in % efficient

SOLAR HOT WATER COLLECTORS
Solar Hot Water

▪ A solar thermal collector collects heat by absorbing
solar radiation to heat carrier fluid (i.e., water).
▪ EDGE uses the percent of hot water demand met by
the solar system.
