With the help of the BREEAM framework, the project team developed an office building that's not only energy neutral, but energy positive. This is partly due to its efficiency measures; The Edge uses 70% less electricity than comparable office buildings. The Edge underwent BREEAM certification as a way of. . The building has sustainability features and energy-efficient systems that are exemplary and serve as inspiration to the whole architecture industry for generating more energy than it consumes. The greenest building in the world. It took a while to bring to fruition, but it was completed towards the end of 2014. Constructed in 2014, it was designed by PLP Architecture and created by EDGE Technologies (formerly OVG Real Estate) for its main tenant, professional services giant Deloitte.
