Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Accra, Nov. 17- IFC and Rehoboth Properties have announced the first affordable housing project in Ghana to achieve IFC\u2019s Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies (EDGE) green building certification.<\/p>\n

This is to help Accra reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while conserving energy and water usage, an official release copied to the Ghana News Agency, said in Accra.<\/p>\n

Rehoboth\u2019s 1,700-unit Knightsbridge community in the suburb of Kwabenya, in the Ga East District features efficient lighting, natural ventilation, low-flow faucets, and dual-flush toilets, among other energy efficient technologies, reducing electricity and water use by a third for residents.<\/p>\n

Adding to its green credentials, it said, the Knightsbridge community was built from materials that required 50 percent less energy to manufacture, transport, and install compared to materials used in other buildings in Accra. A second IFC EDGE-certified development, the 1,400-unit Palms community in Accra, is expected to open in late 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cRehoboth is proud to offer Ghanaians, for the first time, a triple-edged chance to save: save on purchase price, save on utilities, and save the Earth, leading to a significantly lower total cost of ownership over a lifetime and beyond,\u201d said Gideon Akrofi, Rehoboth\u2019s CEO, according to the release.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first EDGE certification of an affordable housing project in Ghana demonstrates IFC\u2019s commitment to supporting a greener, more inclusive post-pandemic economic recovery.<\/p>\n

“Green buildings w help Ghana transition to a lower-carbon future as specified in the country\u2019s commitments under the Paris climate change agreement,\u201d said Ronke Ogunsulire, IFC Country Manager for Ghana, it .<\/p>\n

IFC\u2019s EDGE programme was launched in 2014 to support the construction of green buildings and help fight climate change. The programme is active in 170 countries.<\/p>\n

In Ghana, EDGE has certified 12 large buildings since 2017 in the health, hospitality, retail, and financial sectors, and is encouraging developers to adopt green building techniques. GNA<\/p>\n
