The State of
Construction Industry
Since 2007, more than half of the world’s population has
lived in cities; that figure is projected to rise to 60% by 2030.
To meet this surging human demand, global construction
output is projected to grow by a staggering 2.5 trillion square
feet by 2060. At the same time, concerns about climate change
25% and dwindling natural resources place increasing pressure on
construction firms.
By conservative estimates, the construction industry is
Construction generates a responsible for more than 30% of the world’s natural-resource
extraction and a quarter of the solid waste generated.

WHOLE BUILDING
DESIGN
Whole-building design is a process wherein the building's
structure, envelope, interior components, mechanical and
electrical systems, and even its site, orientation are viewed
holistically.
Benefits
Reducing energy costs
Reducing both capital and maintenance costs
Reducing the environmental impact of the building to the site
and environs
Increasing occupant comfort, health, and safety
Increasing employee productivity
LEAN
CONSTRUCTION
Lean construction is a collaborative
approach to project delivery in which
all stakeholders work together to
optimize the project, minimizing
waste wherever possible.
Prefab, Modular, and
Industrialized
Construction
The environmental benefits of
industrialized construction are
significant. Prefabrication processes:
Use fewer natural resources
Reduce pollution
Optimize material usage
Sustainable
Construction
Materials
Sustainable construction materials can be
thrilling to behold, from the warm, tactile
beauty of mass timber to the sculptural curves
of bamboo structures, to the striking use of
whole trees as structural columns, to shapely
sustainable concrete forms made stronger and
lighter through generative design.
Carbon-Reduction
Tools
Now is a critical time to address the ways
building materials contribute to carbon
emissions. Thanks to collaborative industry
efforts, open, free carbon-reduction and
carbon-calculator tools are beginning to make
that process more transparent.
Circular Construction
The circular construction economy
approaches design and building with the
intention to reduce, reuse, and recycle as
many resources as possible. While design is
central to the model, builders can divert
construction and demolition materials from
disposal by practicing source reduction,
salvaging, recycling and reusing existing
materials, and buying used and recycled
materials and products.
BIM and Sustainable
Construction
Although BIM (Building Information Modelling)
is mostly associated with design and
preconstruction, it benefits every phase of the
project lifecycle. BIM processes introduce so
many efficiencies that employing BIM almost
always reduces a construction project’s
environmental impact.
Philippine Green
Building Code
The GB Code, a Referral Code of the National
Building Code (PD No. 1096) was launched on
June 25, 2016 by the Department of Public
Works and Highways (DPWH), with the
assistance of the World Bank-IFC, and the
technical support of the Philippine Green
Building Initiative (PGBI).

Practices to cut down energy use:
air-conditioning systems will be required
to adopt efficient practices, designs,
methods and technologies to cut down
energy use.
The amount of glazing is ideally reduced
with respect to the wall size to bring down
heat gain inside the building.
The required wall-to-window ratio or
WWR needs to be balanced
The higher the WWR, the lower SHGC
required in glass windows.

PRACTICES
ENERGY EFFICIENT
DESIGNS
Energy-efficient design means creating
buildings, products, or systems that use
less energy while still performing well. It
involves strategies like using efficient
materials, renewable energy, and smart
technologies to reduce energy
consumption, lower costs, and minimize
environmental impact.
