FOREWORD
The Mandaluyong City Green Building Project commenced with a Cooperation Agreement
signed between the City of Mandaluyong and the International Finance Corporation on
October 2012 that has effectivity until June 30, 2017. The project is focused on developing
and implementing green building regulations in the city of Mandaluyong that will result in
increased efficiency of buildings in the use of resources such as energy, water and materials
thus minimizing the impacts of buildings on human health and the environment. With the
creation of a City Green Building Team through Executive Order No. 04, series of 2012 and
under the technical assistance of the International Finance Corporation, Ordinance No. 535,
s-2014 otherwise known as the 2014 Green Building Regulation of Mandaluyong City was
adopted on January 27, 2014 during the second and final reading by the Sangguniang
Panlungsod ng Mandaluyong.
Ordinance No. 535, s-2014 is the output of several fora conducted at the national level,
consultation with local government units, massive stakeholders consultation at the city
level, ocular inspection of actual buildings certified by established Green Building Rating
Systems, and a market study of at least 60 buildings in Metro Manila, Metro Cebu and Metro
Davao to establish the baseline for determining green measures appropriate for local
investment climate.
The Ordinance is designed for application to new buildings of specific categories but with
provisions for revision and gradual expansion to cover other categories of buildings in the
future. The Ordinance also provides for the preparation of an Implementing Rules and
Regulations to simplify interpretation of its various provisions.
This IRR details technical descriptions, guidelines and approaches for easier compliance to
mandatory measures for energy and water efficiencies. Other building performance areas
mentioned in the Ordinance such as Materials and Waste Management, Site Sustainability,
and Indoor Environmental Quality require simple measures, hence, do not warrant further
detailing and discussion.
The realization of this IRR is made possible through the combined efforts of the
Mandaluyong City Officials and the City Green Building Team, the International Finance
Corporation Team of consultants including the Philippine Green Building Initiative, with
the participation of various stakeholders on building design, construction and operation.
