About this Collection

Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) is the National Voluntary Green Building Rating System in the Philippines. BERDE was developed by the Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC), and is used to measure, verify, and monitor the environmental performance of buildings that exceed existing mandatory regulations and standards.

A BERDE green building rating scheme is consensus-driven, and achieved through a multi-stakeholder consultation and collaboration process before its final release and adoption.
