"LEED v5: A New Era for Sustainable Design"

Excellent insights from Lauren Wallace and Carmen Evans, on what the shift to LEED v5 means for building owners and project teams.

Shaping a Sustainable Tomorrow 💚 ☀️ As part of our long-term commitment to deliver 100% green buildings by 2032, we continue our sustainability series with a closer look at #EDGE Certification, one of the world’s most accessible and practical systems for building performance and efficiency. 🌿What is EDGE Certification? #EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) Certification is a green building standard developed by the IFC - International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, to make sustainable construction measurable and accessible. EDGE certification focuses on improving energy efficiency, water conservation, and material optimization, helping projects reduce environmental impact and meet global ESG standards. 💧 Why is EDGE important? The EDGE certification is vital for green buildings as it provides a measurable standard for sustainable design, ensuring buildings minimize environmental impact while lowering operational costs. This certification helps developers and owners meet global sustainability goals and attract eco-conscious tenants or buyers. For the #construction industry, EDGE certification drives innovation by encouraging the adoption of sustainable materials, solutions and technologies. It also enhances market competitiveness, as certified projects appeal to environmentally aware investors and stakeholders. Additionally, EDGE supports regulatory compliance and aligns with global trends toward greener, more resilient urban development. 🚀 Below, we share essential insights on EDGE Certification, along with Archetype Group’s key projects that have embraced this global standard for resource-efficient and sustainable design.

Sustainability goes beyond design — it’s about purpose, performance, and people. What truly makes a building sustainable isn’t just its materials, but its lasting impact on the environment and community. 🌿  #Sustainability #Engineering #GreenBuilding #ThoughtLeadership 

“Architects graduating from university right now have a really impressive training in sustainable design, and they’re eager to use it and implement it.” Heather Holdridge is director of Design Performance at San Antonio, Texas-based Lake Flato Architects where she has worked for more than 15 years. She founded and developed Lake Flato’s sustainability team which now numbers five architects. She spoke to Hattie Hartman HonFRIBA for our recent Sustainability Report and Handbook.

Sustainability, Life Cycle Assessment and Whole Life Carbon This presentation will explore how architects can lead in decarbonising and strengthening the resilience of the built environment through smart and sustainable design. Attendees will gain insights into best practice benchmarks and standards that help drive sustainability forward in every project. Presented by: Matthew Napper — Born and raised in a farming community near rural Sydney, Matt’s early exposure to land management and the natural environment inspired his lifelong passion for sustainability. With experience across government and corporate real estate sectors, he has worked on diverse projects such as bushland restoration, Green Star developments, and corporate “Net Zero” strategies. 🗓 Date: November 25, 2025 ⏰ Time: 03:45 PM (AEST) By the end of this session, attendees will be able to: ✅ Understand the wide-ranging concerns of sustainability in the built environment ✅ Explain how operational and embodied carbon contribute to whole life carbon ✅ Identify strategies to achieve net zero carbon impact ✅ Recognize why good design must address sustainability at every level ✅ Apply practical steps to integrate life cycle assessment into design practice 🎟 Book your spot here: https://lnkd.in/gbaG7wCU #InHouseGroup3
