Rekaz Developments says it has signed a cooperation agreement with Sintali Limited and Ecothentic Consultancy to apply green-building standards at its Lazuli project in Hurghada and to seek international EDGE certification for it.
The current stage covers the hotel and the clubhouse inside the project, according to chief executive Tamer Bakeer, while the project team reviews the design and construction of the residential buildings already finished to assess how far they meet green-building requirements. EDGE is a certification scheme developed by the International Finance Corporation, part of the World Bank Group, that rates buildings on how efficiently they use energy, water and materials.
Construction is complete on the phases already sold and finishing work is under way, the company says, and it is preparing to start the third and fourth phases along with the social club and the hotel. Lazuli covers about 40,000 square metres in Hurghada with apartments and studios alongside a social club, a health club, a business centre and swimming pools; the company says buildings take up no more than 20 percent of the site, with about 80 percent given to green space and lagoons.
The announcement sets no date for the certification and no cost for the work.
