According to World
Meteorological Organization
(WMO), there was a 32%
warming of the world’s
climate mainly due to carbon
dioxide.

Carbon dioxide emission,


which is 80% cause of the
warming, is largely due to
fossil fuel emissions.

RA 7279 – CLIMATE CHANGE ACT OF 2009

An act mainstreaming climate change into


government policy formulations,
establishing the framework strategy and
program on climate change creating for this
purpose the Climate Change Commission,
and for other purposes.
As a party to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, the State
adopts the ultimate objective of the
Convention which is the stabilization of
greenhouse gas concentrations…

Sec 2, RA 9729
….the State has adopted the Philippine
Agenda 21 framework which espouses
sustainable development to fulfill human
needs while maintaining the quality of the
natural environment for current and future
generations.

Green Building

Practice of increasing efficiency


with which buildings use resources
such as energy, water and
materials while also reducing the
building’ impact on human health
and the environment.
Green Building

Green buildings are the product of


sustainable design.

A green/sustainable design is a
design that minimizes the negative
human impacts on the natural
surroundings, materials, resources
and processes that prevail in
nature.

Ashrae Greenguide
The idea of green building is to limit the
impact on the environment without
compromising human comfort.
Economic benefits from an energy-efficient building:
•Reduced operating costs: It is possible to reduce building
energy consumption by 20-30% within the constraints of most
building budgets. This increased energy efficiency can reduce
energy costs over the life of a building.

•Reduced construction waste: Custom engineered steel-framed


buildings are designed and manufactured to reduce overall
construction waste to retain design flexibility even in facilities
that undergo frequent remodelling.

•Enhanced employee productivity: Green buildings have


shown significant improvements in productivity, because
workers were breathing better quality air, had a connection to
the outdoors and worked in spaces with natural daylight.

•Streamlined regulatory approvals: Sustainable site design


strategies often can build public trust and streamline regulatory
approvals.
Promote resource management
efficiency and site sustainability while
minimizing negative impact of buildings
on health and environment

Solution:
Reduce demand + lower carbon dioxide emission
