Low carbon buildings criteria: Peru region

The criteria for low carbon buildings in Peru prohibit the use of fossil fuels for HVAC, hot water, and cooking, with exceptions for emergency backup generators. Social housing certified under the Mivivienda Verde Certificate is eligible if it proves equivalence to EDGE Certification and aligns with Climate Bonds requirements for buildings constructed after January 1, 2024. Residential property upgrades are eligible if they achieve operating energy emission reductions of 30% for 5-year bonds or 50% for 30-year bonds.

• Buildings must be delivered without inbuilt redundancy and cannot use fossil fuels for cooking, hot water, or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, although backup generators for emergency power during natural calamities are permitted.
• Social residential buildings in Peru are eligible for certification if they hold a Mivivienda Verde Certificate (11th Version Rating Scheme), prove equivalence to EDGE Certification, and comply with additional requirements for new buildings constructed after January 1, 2024.
• Residential property upgrades qualify for eligibility based on minimum operating energy emissions reductions: 30% for a 5-year bond and 50% for a 30-year bond.
