Little things go a long way when it comes to caring for the environment. It is a personal commitment to reuse, recycle and reduce. I find it really remarkable when developers commit to the environment by practicing and wholly adopting the Green building concept.
The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), is a world-renowned green building certification method that sets the barometer for renewable energy and future sustainability in development.
But what does it really mean to be green?
It has mostly to do with efficient use of water, electricity and sustainable source of power and equipment, garbage management and resources and materials used in the development.
In Bonifacio Global City, three buildings have maintained the Platinum status (the highest, the rest being Gold, Silver, and Certification levels). They are:
- Sun Life Center Head Office
5Th Ave., BGCOne of the first structures in the Philippines to achieve and maintain its Platinum status is Sun Life Center since 2013. - Wells Fargo Center Philippines Buildings A, B, and C
McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio, TaguigWells Fargo Center is part of the office components of Megaworld’s 50-hectare Taguig development — McKinley Hill. - Unilever Bayanihan Project
Stop Over Building, Bonifacio Global City, TaguigFor 89 years Unilever Philippines was a Manila based multinational company. Its new home in BGC scored big on temperature control, natural light maximization, trash segregation.
