Lower operating costs
Can you imagine paying at least 20% less on your utilities? One of the prerequisites of an EDGE building is to use low-flow faucets fixtures, insulated roofs, energy-saving lightings and sensors, dual flush cisterns and even solar powered geysers help ensure that carbon emission, energy and waters is reduced by 20%. This creates a low operating cost for the entire estate and each resident that lives in their own units.
Combating climate change
There is no denying that water and energy are in high demand in South Africa. The building of energy efficient and green homes is helping to fight against climate change and the challenges South Africans are facing regularly, such as power cuts and even drought in areas.
