Register your project for certification

Congratulations on this important step toward achieving your green building goals!

The certification process can be a rewarding and enriching journey. To get the most out of the process, we encourage you to involve an Accredited Professional, EDGE Expert or EDGE Auditor as appropriate, as early as possible, and register your project as early as possible in the design process.
