Results and Discussions
Visual Survey
In order to answer the statement of the problem and its
specific problems, the data gathering tool of visual survey has
been conducted. The following are the results of the analysis maps.
1. Sustainable, Resilient, and Responsive Building Systems
Design and Methods of Construction:
1.1 Readings
The study utilizes publications from laws, books,
articles, journals, and the world wide web related to
sustainable, resilient, and responsive building systems
design and construction methods as excerpted in the
related reading section of the thesis. Mainly, the
results for the process are:
1.1.1. The Building for Ecologically Responsive
Design Excellence for Educational Institutions
(BERDE 2013)
The BERDE Point System shall be used to gather data
on the criteria for sustainable, resilient, and
responsive building design systems in order to
evaluate and analyze the compliance of the site
location and to plan and design the Technological
Skills Institute as a green building. (see pages
27-71)

1.1.2. The National Ecolabelling Programme (NELP)
material specification for green buildings.
Material specification that are ecolabelled are
approved in the BERDE Point System Material section
and shall be used to specify construction
materials, equipment, and accessories to uplift
green architecture.

The National Ecolabelling Programme - Green
Choice Philippines (NELP-GCP) is one of the
country's initiatives to exercise the
fundamentals of sustainable development. It
aims to change the behavioral patterns in
consumption and production that tend to misuse,
abuse, and degrade our environment.
This voluntary third-party environmental declaration, which
is guided by principles and procedures of ISO 14024, gained its
legal footing when Republic Act 9003, "The Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000," was signed by Her Excellency President
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. RA 9003 states under Article 4, Section
27 that "the Department of Trade and Industry shall formulate and
implement a coding system for packaging materials and products to
facilitate waste recycling and reuse".
NELP-GCP envisions that environment friendly products or
services are being produced and distributed in the country.
Ecolabelling and green purchasing, as fundamental tools in
influencing the patterns of production and consumption, must be
sustained as these are among the key steps towards the path of
green business practices. (National Ecolabelling Programme - Green
Choice Philippines 2013)
1.2 Observation
Ocular site inspections and documentation are
translated into visual surveys known as analysis maps.
These are:
