Push for more green buildings in PH sought

As the Philippines remains a fertile ground for green industry, foreign and local construction experts say there is a need to renew and strengthen the country’s efforts in paving the way for the smooth adoption of best practices in putting up green buildings in the country.

At the recent roundtable session of International Built Environment Week (IBEW) in Makati City, experts said venturing into construction of more green buildings in the country would require enhanced collaboration between the government and the private sector to ensure sustainability, construction productivity, digitalization and smart facilities management, among others.
