    The document discusses two case studies of sustainable buildings in the Philippines: 1) The Zuellig Building is a 33-story, LEED Platinum certified commercial tower in Makati that provides 65,000 sqm of office space. It has an environmentally conscious design with features like low-e glass and ceramic frit patterns that minimize heat gain. 2) The DLSU Henry Sy Sr. Centennial Hall is a 15-floor educational building at De La Salle University with sustainable design elements like a green roof, solar panels, and rainwater collection. It is the first academic building in the Philippines designed to achieve a BERDE sustainability rating.

    Case Studies

    Structure: Zuellig Building


    Architect: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill; W.V.
    Coscoluella & Associates
    Address: Makati Avenue corner Paseo de Roxas,
    Makati, 1225 Metro Manila
    Floors: 33
    Type: Commercial and Office

    The Zuellig Building is the first premium


    office tower in the Philippines to be erected since
    2000. Located at a prominent intersection in Manila’s
    Makati Central Business District, the 33-story, 160-
    meter-tall building is notable for its environmentally
    conscious design, distinctive façade, and superior
    finishes.

    The Zuellig Building provides approximately


    65,000m² of Class-A office space and approximately
    2,000m² of retail area, with parking facilities for 660 vehicles below grade. The form of the
    building was generated from the geometry of the site – the intersection of Makati Avenue and
    Paseo de Roxas – and to accommodate on-site vehicular access and potential future development.
    The building expands on its north side and contracts on its south, resulting in a fan-shaped floor
    plan. This allows the building’s facades to be set orthogonally to the east and west property lines
    while also directly engaging the fabric of the city in those directions.

    The tower offers between 1,870m² and 1,945m² of leasable office space per floor with a
    column-free layout that provides maximum efficiency and flexibility. A raised floor system at all
    levels allows modular office layout modifications and conduits to facilitate upgrades in computer
    and communications technologies. A double-height open-air terrace on the 30th floor provides
    outdoor gathering space for tenants and visitors. A low-rise pavilion attached to the tower houses
    two street-level retail lots, a food court, and an executive lounge containing a restaurant and
    meeting rooms.

    The building’s glass façade — its primary architectural expression — is enhanced by


    structural sealants, low-emissivity coatings and ceramic frit patterns that minimize heat gain while
    permitting the maximum penetration of light to the building’s interior and showcasing the city’s
    spectacular views. These features and other sustainable measures helped the building achieve a
    LEED Platinum certification from the United States Green Building Council.
    Structure: DLSU Henry Sy Sr. Centennial Hall
    Architect: Leandro Locsin Partners and interiors by
    Ascuncion-Berenguer
    Address: 2401 Taft Ave, Malate, Manila, 1004
    Metro Manila
    Floors: 15
    Type: Educational & Office

    Built on the concept of a habitable tree, the


    DLSU Henry Sy, Sr. Hall commemorates the
    University’s centenary and illustrates its growing
    role in Philippine education as well as its
    commitment to environmental responsibility.

    Designed by the renowned architectural firm


    Leandro V. Locsin Partners, Architects, the Henry
    Sy, Sr. Hall boasts of a green roof, solar panels, a
    rainwater collection system, and a water re-use
    system. It has pocket gardens and open areas that support creativity and engage learners to generate
    new ideas. 


    The Hall has 14 floors of eco-friendly learning spaces and function areas where the
    academic community can gather for relaxation, interaction with one another, and official university
    activities. Interior areas of the building are named after various parts of a life-giving and nurturing
    tree. Its façade has metal moldings or fins, that blocks solar radiation and maintain thermal
    comfort. It also has curtain walls installed with double glazed windows that also help control the
    heat.
    It will also be the first academic structure to be rated upon completion with the Philippines’
    own BERDE Standard, a measure of how “environment-friendly” a structure is.

    The DLSU Centennial Hall is named in honor of its first donor, Henry Sy, Sr., whose
    generosity jump-started its construction
