Sri Lanka Banks’ Association and IFC World Bank invite you to a Sustainable Banking Initiative Seminar to discover EDGE: a fast, easy, and more affordable way to build and brand green. The free EDGE Discovery Workshop is offered as an online event on Wednesday, 25 November at 3 p.m. local time.
The Sri Lanka Banks’ Association Sustainable Banking Initiative was created to provide a platform to advance understanding and action on responsible banking practices that can facilitate sustainable economic growth in Sri Lanka. The IFC World Bank EDGE program will outline the following incentives to motivate banks along with property developers to certify green: incentivised loan rates and technical assistance.
The workshop will explain investment criteria and demonstrate how to use the EDGE App to discover the most cost-effective solutions to cut back on the resource intensity of your building design.
They will also explain certification steps and technical assistance options, showing case studies of developers who have successfully utilised EDGE to outshine the
competition.
An innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, EDGE empowers builders to optimise their designs to use less resources. The EDGE App is a cloud-based platform that calculates the cost of going green, utility savings, and environmental impacts. The state-of-the-art engine has a sophisticated set of city-based climate and cost data, consumption patterns, and algorithms for predicting performance results. The streamlined certification process makes it fast and easy to certify a project green.
