FEU Alabang, one of the premier Business, Engineering, and Information Technology higher education institutions in the Philippines, has now been recognized as the first EDGE-certified academic building in the country.
EDGE, which stands for Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies, is a certification system for green buildings that focuses on cost-effective strategies to reduce energy use, water use, and embodied energy in materials. To qualify for this certification, a building needs to present at least a 20% reduction in these specific areas.
In the awarding ceremony held on May 9, 2023, Far Eastern University Chairman Aurelio R. Montinola III formally and proudly received the award from Philippine Green Building Initiative’s (PGBI) EDGE Project Director Engr. Ramon Aguilo.
