What is CASA Certification?

CASA (Centro de Actividad de Sustentabilidad Ambiental) is a certification system based on EDGE and developed by IFC (World Bank Group) specifically for Latin American social housing and affordable residential projects. It requires minimum energy, water, and materials efficiency improvements of 20% compared to conventional construction.
