Which organization is described as the national non-stock, non-profit organization promoting green building practices to the industry and continuously developing BERDE?

• A. Philippine Green Building Council
• B. Northern Engineering Association
• C. Local Government Unit
• D. International Green Building Council

Answer: (A)

The description points to a national, non-stock, non-profit organization that champions green building practices and leads the ongoing development of BERDE in the Philippines. That is the Philippine Green Building Council. It operates nationwide as a non-profit group dedicated to advancing sustainable building—bringing together professionals, developers, government, and academia to promote green design, construction, and operation. PHILGBC directly oversees and continually refines BERDE, the Philippine environmental rating system used to assess and certify green buildings. The other options don’t fit: a regional engineering association is not national and not focused on BERDE; a local government unit is a government body, not a national non-profit; and the International Green Building Council is a global organization, not the Philippine body responsible for BERDE’s development.
