    Foreword

    In recent years, countries in the Asia-Pacific region


    started to adopt measures that promote resource
    management efficiency and site sustainability while
    minimizing the effects of buildings on human health
    and environment by practicing Green Building.

    The time has come for the Philippines to champion


    the implementation of greener measures to address
    climate change. With the Department of Public
    Works and Highways’ partnership with International
    Finance Corporation of the World Bank group, the
    clamor for sustainable building regulations has been
    answered.

    The Philippine Green Building Code, a referral code to the National Building Code of the
    Philippines, rallies to lessen the impacts of buildings to health and environment through
    resource management efficiency.

    A gamut of minimum standards aimed to reduce greenhouse emissions and introduce


    electricity and cost savings for buildings is imposed to applicable building falling under
    certain gross floor area to deliver improved energy efficiency, water and wastewater
    management, materials sustainability, solid waste management, site sustainability and
    indoor environmental quality.

    With the implementation of this Code and the promise of reducing greenhouse gas
    emissions and energy and water consumption by at least 20%, DPWH will herald the
    achievement of the Philippine Government’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions
    by 70% in 2030.

    We took the first steps in engineering this Code with the help of professional
    associations and stakeholders to answer the call for a sustainable building regulation.
    We now call upon our stakeholders, end-users, customers and other relevant parties
    to lend your hands to us as, together, we achieve an environmentally sound Philippines.
