Abstract

The study is about the compliance assessment of Unilab Corporate Center (ULCC) Phase 1 during construction based on LEED and BERDE rating systems. Assessment only covered the requirements for Construction Waste Management (CWM) and Erosion and Sedimentation Control (ESC). A number of criteria in the LEED rating system, and in the BERDE rating system, which include the waste and Land Use and Ecology categories, were used in the assessment. Based on these, compliance of ULCC Phase 1 was evaluated. It was assessed that the project conformed to the CVM and ESC measures during construction from April to June 2012. Moreover, the rating systems of LEED and BERDE were also compared based on pointing system and applicability to the project. It was found put that BERDE program has more specific requirements for compliance and was based on Philippine setting since relevant standards and Philippine laws were considered in every category. Yet, LEED entailed higher standards for compliance since the requirements demand for higher percentage of the required items to achieve LEED points. Additionally, LEED advantages to the project during construction were enumerated especially on health and safety status at the site. Data revealed that there were no records of accidents and serious health problems until June 2012. Further discussions on the importance and also possible on the importance and also possible disadvantages of being a LEED-registered building were also included.
