MANDALUYONG CITY
GREEN BUILDING REGULATIONS 2018
and its
IMPLEMENTING RULES & REGULATIONS
Republic of the Philippines
City of Mandaluyong
Office of the Mayor
MESSAGE
The City of Mandaluyong is at the forefront of another milestone in public service innovation. City
Ordinance No. 709, s-2018, better known as an Ordinance Adopting Version 2.0: The 2014
Green Building Regulations of Mandaluyong is set to change the facade of modern and timely
implementation of the very first whole building approach to the planning, design, construction,
operation and maintenance of buildings and their surrounding landscape that will mitigate the
environmental, economic and social impacts of structure in the city. This is indeed, a breakthrough at
its finest!
The inception of this innovative ordinance puts in consideration, a modern approach and a calculated
forecast of the city’s compliance with the latest National Building Code, including its implementing
Rules and Regulations and other relevant laws. I am truly elated to have been part of the local
governing body that will institutionalize mandatory measures that have been pre-determined through
detailed analysis to achieve savings in energy and water efficiency, materials sustainability, renewable
energy and environmental protection.
All of which are the essentials of what structures need to be that are substantially parallel to our quest
to address moral and global issues of climate change and global warming. This is our bold statement
that will have a remarkable impact when we talk about protection and preservation of our one and
only eco-system. We are talking about life and survival....and the significant move starts with a single
step.
I am sending my accolades and sincerest congratulations to the men and women behind the formulation
and inception of the Green Building Ordinance of Mandaluyong including the Implementing Rules and
Regulations being the first and the exponent in the fields of modern planning and engineering aspects.
We are calibrating our efforts and we are setting directions of what efficient and effective public
governance is all about. Indeed, with this innovation, we have raised the bar of excellence through our
collective mantra of “Gawa Hindi Salita” Mandaleno Disiplinado!
Another laurel in our quest excellence in public service!

MANDALUYONG CITY GREEN BUILDING REGULATIONS 2018 PAGE i

and its IMPLEMENTING RULES & REGULATIONS
FOREWORD
This manual contains both the Ordinance No. 709, Series of 2018, also known as “Version 2.0: The
2014 Green Building Regulations of Mandaluyong City” signed last 1st of October, 2018, and its
Implementing Rules and Regulations signed on 18th of December, 2018, by the City Mayor, Hon.
Carmelita A. Abalos.
This manual serves as a guide for stakeholders and for applicants on the guidelines of the said Ordi-
nance which aims (1) to improve building efficiency in its use of natural resources, (2) to contribute
to the global efforts in reducing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, and, (3) to minimize impact
of buildings on health of the citizens and the environment.
New to this Ordinance is the reduction of the coverage of applicable area by at least 50% to include
more compliant building proposals and expansion of scope from the 5 areas of Building Perfor-
mance (Energy Efficiency, Water Efficiency, Materials Sustainability and Solid Waste Management,
Site Sustainability, and Indoor Environmental Quality) to 7, adding measures for Renewable Ener-
gy and Environmental Protection.
Another innovation in this ordinance is the introduction of Point-Rating System and Two-Level
Certification in which the amount of incentives that will be received by compliant proponents cor-
responds to the level that the applicants have complied.
The Ordinance and its IRR were done in a consultative, participatory, and inclusive process which
are enjoined by various stakeholders such as developers, property owners, professional organiza-
tions, suppliers, community and home owners’ associations and related national agencies to ensure
public acceptance. It is important to highlight the approval given by the DPWH in accordance with
the Philippine Green Building Code.

THE CITY OF MANDALUYONG LOGO
The TWENTY SEVEN STARS around the logo represent the total number of barangays in the city;
The figure of the DOVE is exactly the design of the arch that adorns the southern entrance to the
City Hall Complex. The dove traditionally symbolizes freedom and peace. The people of Manda-
luyong like the rest of the Filipinos are freedom and peace-loving people;
The WAVE that runs across the logo refers to the legendary Pasig River in whose crystal blue waters
the Mandaluyong folk used to wash clothes, bathe and catch fish. The same blue lines also connote
the “many waves” that rolled over this settlement by the Pasig hundreds of years ago. From the word
MADALUYONG (which means many waves), the name MANDALUYONG had been coined;
The FIGURES OF FACTORIES AND TALL BUILDINGS signify industrial growth – the trans-
formation of Mandaluyong from a vast agricultural land of long ago to a highly industrial and
commercial estate. This element also symbolizes growth of this First-Class municipality into a still
developing city that it is today;
The SUN as an integral part of the logo symbolizes the main source of vigor and vitality of the city
residents;
The MULTITUDE UNDER THE GIANT DOVE signify the courage and bravery of the many
sons and daughters of Mandaluyong who participated in the bloody revolution of 1896 and the
bloodless people power revolution of 1986. Many soldier sons of Mandaluyong had also met gallant
deaths during the 2nd World War;
The LAUREL LEAVES represent the achievements and successes that the citizens of Mandaluyong
have always strived for the greater honor and glory of their city.

the efficiency of building performance through environmental design and building resiliency.
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 Greenhouse
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;
