“Formulation of Sustainable Adaptive Building Design
(Sabd) Assessment Tool for Filipino Architects”
Sustainability is considered broad and multi-disciplinary, for which around 600+
measuring tools have been developed across the globe. Foremost of these are the
LEED Version 3.0 from the United States, and the local counterpart BERDE currently
being formulated by the Philippine Green Building Council. Attempts have been made by
policymakers and professionals to define the scope of sustainability, which is up to now
being contested. Recently, with countries regardless of economic standing, affected by
natural disasters, a new concept has emerged, termed as Sustainable Adaptive Building
Design (SABD). SABD does not only consider the building or site’s impact to its environment,
economics and society, but also its natural disaster-resilience component, with the last
not present in other sustainability measuring tools. Thus, this paper attempts to provide
a framework for a qualitative assessment tool that can serve as a g uide for both Filipino
architects and students.
