In 2012, the Zuellig Building in Makati City became the first high-rise office development in the Philippines to be awarded a Gold Level Certification from the LEED-CS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design-Core & Shell) by complying with the LEED-CS rating system of the US Green Building Council (USGBC). The building design provides water and energy savings, lower operating costs and superior indoor air quality.
Solar Initiative Beyond Certification: While the installation of solar panels is not a requirement to attain LEED-CS certification, the developers, Bridgebury Realty Corp., decided to bring their eco-responsibility to the next level and commissioned One Renewable to install and maintain a 28.3 kwp on-solar to supplement power from the grid. Today, the building stands as a testament that the real gold is investing in sustainable power solutions with the right partners who adhere to the values of sustainability and resilience.
