This is a great idea!

Project NOAH, or the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards, helps citizens pinpoint areas susceptible to flooding using 30 years of rainfall data from the state weather bureau. https://tinyurl.com/bdezmta2

What if you could help prevent floods?
In some countries, harvesting rain is the law, because it works.

Let’s make it happen in the Philippines.
First stop: build community rainwater systems in Subic.

From waste to wonder 🌱
This community-made biochar is rich in carbon, great for the soil, and born from organic waste ♻️
Mix it in paint? You get cooler surfaces that fight the heat ☀️🖌️
Sustainable, smart, and proudly local.

The world will double the amount of cities it has by 2060 - and this has a huge implication on natural wonders like Palawan.

Last December we had the chance to share with local government and architects from ideas on low carbon construction, ways to use upcycled materials and designs that could protect from heat such as biochar, mineral fiber ceilings, and more!

Our country is so proud of island gems like Palawan - and so we must do all we can to protect it from the traditional form of development that does not take into account environmental costs.

Thank you for letting our team and friends from Knauf Philippines share the latest trends on low carbon construction and acoustics.

As the world tumbles into a challenging climate scenario of 2.0 degrees celsius above pre industrial levels, it is critical that professionals who build and use a lot of carbon resources are educated on how they can reduce waste and build stronger. Our stories of biochar creation, learned from Travel and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are helpful but there are so many more ideas that we can implement in the construction industry!

Thank you to this wonderful team of architects for hosting this fun event!

Some people wonder why we keep on presenting ideas for low carbon construction.

12 months ago our president, Raf, shared a lecture at a UP Diliman interior design class - talking about biochar of MAD Travel , ecobricks, recycle materials of Knauf Philippines and permaculture ideas. One of the students connected well with the message and idea of designing and building a world that took nature and culture into account.

Fast forward and that one student won the Ayda Awards of Nippon Paint AYDA PH for best design idea - and has the chance to compete in Japan! We are so happy that the research and information is helping young designers make decisions that include the environment, and the cultures of local people.

Congratulations Shane Nicole Rubio!

Very grateful to for letting me share our research and project results from and .

We've been on a quest to build regenerative and sustainable economies that take care of nature - and this 2024/2025 we are getting really close to making large changes in the business and construction landscape.

Thank you for the opportunity! If any school our construction chapter out there is looking for CPD points or a guest lecturer - I would be happy to share what I know to get us closer to saving our planet! 😃

Our vision at AVD Green Builds is to empower construction professionals to be part of the climate solution. By retrieving waste and turning them into high value construction materials, we can restore our land and sea while creating valuable opportunities for livelihood and building stronger.

Partner with us on your next sustainable build! Most importantly, let’s reduce our plastic waste wherever and whenever we can.

We are grateful to United Architects of the Philippines Sugbu chapter (Cebu) for allowing us to share stories of sustainability transition that architects can use in their own designs. The world will be doubling its urban areas by 2060 and it critical that mega cities like Cebu are able to make adjustments as they balance infrastructure and the environment. Our industry needs to find ways to be more sustainable, and regenerative if possible.

In his talk that offered CPD points, our president Raf Dionisio , shared different kinds of recycled materials that could be used in the process of building. He also touched noise pollution in a city becoming more vertical and crowded. One example was the design of classrooms which need re-thinking as these are spaces where teachers need to be heard. Unfortunately, not many classrooms excel at this function due to lack of design. These same rooms are victim to noise from all over.

We hope that sharing the latest acoustic data from Knauf Philippines can help architects come up with strategies to ensure that students can hear clearly, and that teachers don’t need to shout to be heard at the back.

Thank you for the invitation Arch Maegan Bugarin and University of San Carlos for hosting these forums on sustainability!

PS: We're looking for more groups to share what we know about sustainable construction, low carbon builds and acoustics! Our next stop: University of the Philippines, Diliman College of Interior Design 😃
