Ordinance 535, s-2014 is enacted for the purpose of improving the efficiency of buildings
in the use of natural resources, contributing to the global efforts in reducing Green House
Gas (GHG) emissions and minimizing impact of buildings on health and environment
through Green Building Regulations.
Applicable to new buildings in selected categories, the five areas of building performances
targeted are as follows: Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Materials and Waste
Management, Site Sustainability, Indoor Environmental Quality.
Both the Ordinance and its IRR were done in a consultative, participatory and inclusive
manner involving major stakeholders such as developers, property owners, professional
organizations, suppliers, community organizations and home-owners’ associations to
ensure public acceptance.
City of Mandaluyong
WHEREAS, the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines recognizes the right
of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of
nature;
WHEREAS, Republic Act 7160, or the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates all
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
earth’s 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 floods–globally known as El Niño and La
Niña phenomena and more unpredictable weather conditions; and recent weather–related
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 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;

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.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
To our leaders, representatives of professional organizations, national government agencies,
developers, building contractors, designers, suppliers, owners and operators, community
organizations and other non-government organizations who, in one way or another, have shared
their expertise and opinions to make this IRR as simple, realistic and implementable as possible,
and jumpstart a new beginning of a sustainable, liveable and a model community.
