Local Government Units to ensure and promote the health and safety of the people, and enhance
their right to a balanced ecology;
WHEREAS, overwhelming scientific evidence shows that global warming is altering the
earths normal temperature and rainfall patterns, and that human activities such as burning of
fossil fuel and land use change due to rapid urbanization are considered as significant factors that
contribute to the Green House Gas (GHG) balance of the earth, which in turn leads to climate
change;
WHEREAS, the effects of climate change are now being felt throughout the world in
periods of long drought, abnormal deluges and floodsglobally known as
El Nio and La
Nia phenomena and more unpredictable weather conditions; and recent weatherrelated
environmental catastrophes demonstrate the harmful effects of climate change in the Philippines;
WHEREAS, these intertwined problems of climate change, social inequity, rising energy
prices, and degradation of the natural systems require an integrated response that goes far beyond
reducing carbon emissions;
WHEREAS, climate change adaptation must be inextricably linked with actions to create
and maintain jobs, improve community liveability and public health, address social inequity and
foster strong, resilient natural system;
WHEREAS, it is globally recognized that green building can significantly
improve
energy, water and resource efficiency, reduce waste and pollution generation, protect the
environment, and improve occupants health and productivity;
WHEREAS, it has become imperative for both public and private buildings
to
include green building and landscape requirements based on local climatic, geological, and
topographical conditions which, while stricter than current building standards, are shown to be
cost effective over the life of the building;
WHEREAS, in order to ensure environmental sustainability of buildings, reduce its
negative impact to health and environment and consequently drive market transformation, there is
a need for the Local Government as building regulator to formulate, adopt and implement green
building regulations;
WHEREAS, the City of Mandaluyong has a long standing commitment to leadership in
Green Building standards, sustainable design and construction practices, efficient water and other
resource conservation and management and the reduction of Green House Gas Emissions;

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.

(2) External Shading Correction factors: External Shading Correction Factor

must be applied only to the windows that are shaded. SGHC limits can be
adjusted by multiplying it with the correction factors summarized in the
Tables 5 and 6 below using the formula:
SHGCadj = f x SHGC
where:
SHGCadj is the adjusted solar heat gain coefficient limit for windows with
shading
SHGC is the solar heat gain coefficient from Table 3 (or Table 4 if the eight
main orientations are considered)
f is the SHGC correction factor for the external shading as per Table 5 or Table 6.

(a) For intermediate values of D/H or D/W the lower figure of Correction
Factor should be used.
(b) If different shading is specified for different facades and the eight main
orientations are used for the determination of the SHGCs the correction
factors will apply only to the corresponding orientation.
(c) D is the depth of the shading device as projected from the building
exterior wall; and H or W is the height or distance of the bottom sill of
the window from the bottom of the shading device. See Figure 2 below.
(d) Shading which is not attached to windows or placed on a wall with no
window should not be counted.

Recycled water from sewage treatment plant shall be used for makeup water
for cooling towers. The recycled water produced on site should be used with
required treatment for cooling towers in the retail and hospital buildings. The
collected rain water can be used to dilute the recycled water to make it more
suitable for cooling towers.
