10 Years of Energy Performance Improvement
Year-on-year Building Efficiency Index (kWh/m2/year)
Despite the growth in property
volume, our overall efficiency
index continue to improve year-
on-year.
Comparing it with the ASEAN
(ASEAN Center for Energy) and
the CBECS (US Commercial
Building Energy Consumption
Survey) building industry
benchmarks, our program is
successfully in keeping our
properties within the bounds of
efficiency.
6. Our Support to the Philippine Power Sector
33 of our biggest properties in terms of peak demand are
enrolled in the Interruptible Load Program (ILP) - a voluntary,
demand side management program that allows customers to
operate their generating sets & collectively reduce electricity
drawn from the grid during Red Alert status.
e.g., An excerpt of an announcement due to
“Red Alert” in energy supply last June 2021

& Results
Our program developed key initiatives
that contribute to the improvement of
our properties’ energy performance
through a 5-point strategy targeting
consumption reduction on a short,
medium, and long-term plan.
The programs involve the review and
implementation of strategic operations
adjustments, use of commercial energy
conservation technologies and research
on next-generation innovations.
8. Top-Down Approach
The Management is actively involved in the direction towards sustainable energy management and conservation.
This commitment form the Top management drills down to the organization ensuring a unified and consistent
effort in achieving energy performance improvement and minimizing the impact of our operation on the
environment.

ensure technologies/products are worthy for investing
• OFI: Government having a “seal of approval” for novel
technologies and an inventor-to-end user matching
mechanism is highly encouraged, to further promote
innovation and lessen skepticisms in exploring new
technologies

21. How Institutions Can Help End-Users
• Before CREATE Act and EE&C Act, tax incentives for EE&C projects
are not well-known if not non-existent.
• DOE’s incentivization initiatives under DC 2021-05-11 and EE
Strategic Investments will greatly help end-users to avail BOI ITH –
enticing more establishments to invest in EE&C projects
• OFI: Specialized scheme for projects with lower investment cost
and/or lower energy savings yield

22. How Institutions Can Help End-Users
• Small to medium CapEx projects have difficulty in obtaining private
financing. Larger financial institutions will be unwilling to consider
small projects (global commercial banks are generally not
interested in projects below USD 10M)
• OFI: Localized financing models for regional/local financing
institutions are highly encouraged

23. How Institutions Can Help End-Users
• The onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic brought economic uncertainty and
dissuaded most principals to undergo in long-term financial engagements.
• OFI: An active role of government and financial institutions in advisory role to
help end-users in assessing risks involved in long-term engagement.
• As long-term deals are vulnerable to regulatory risks, government Is
encouraged to provide a supportive regulatory framework to bolster
confidence of financiers

24. How Institutions Can Help End-Users
• OFI: Establishing a carbon trading mechanism, and along this a carbon pricing
instrument, will help the industries achieve emissions targets
• This can be further improved by harmonizing with the Renewable Energy
Market, as well as integrating RE generated by end-users
• The government is also recommended to provide grace period on the proposed
imposition of carbon tax

• OFI: The government as the lead advocate in the national drive to
achieve national energy & sustainability targets, is highly encouraged
to provide a stringent state-initiated certification process to
acknowledge those who achieved carbon neutrality
