Designed along innovative circular principles, EDGE buildings are ultra-sustainable, user-focused and aimed to solve two major challenges: improving global sustainability and unleashing human potential.
We do this by following strict sustainability strategies and, thus, minimizing our environmental impact, while at the same time creating inspiring office spaces that drive productivity and creativity.
Our headquarters EDGE Olympic in Amsterdam is a ‘flagship’ EDGE building and demonstrates a comprehensive combination of key components that make up a state-of-the-art smart building.
EDGE Olympic is based on a digital infrastructure that connects everything and everyone within its walls to a single cloud platform. This flexible digital infrastructure allows us to plug and play with extra services, regularly update the system, and bring value for building residents and management.
Following a powerful sustainability strategy, EDGE Olympic has been designed to save energy costs, thus minimizing its environmental impact. As a result, it consumes 72 kWh/m2, as compared to typical non-residential buildings that use 223 kWh/m2. The building is energy neutral on city level and is saving thousands of euros and kilowatt hours.
From the ground up EDGE Olympic incorporated sustainable practices and implemented VOC-free materials. To further support the physical wellbeing of our residents, we measure key indoor climate parameters, such as temperature, humidity, light intensity, noise levels, then analyse these and make improvements.
EDGE Olympic is an extraordinary example of fine user centered design practices. The building keeps its residents healthy by nudging them to move and is further aimed to create an inspiring environment where real human interactions take place.
