The Philippines faces a critical housing shortage, with millions of Filipinos unable to access affordable and sustainable housing. As the government and private sector work to address this gap, it’s essential that every new housing development in the Philippines not only meets the basic needs of shelter but also embraces sustainability and energy efficiency. That’s where the concept of net-zero housing becomes relevant. A net-zero home is a home that produces as much energy as it consumes, making it completely energy self-sufficient. Here’s why net-zero housing is the future for housing development in the Philippines, and why it’s essential to incorporate renewable energy and sustainability in every new project. 1. Tackling rising energy costs In the Philippines, electricity costs are among the highest in Southeast Asia. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), the average household in the country pays a significant amount for electricity, with energy costs rising annually

The 2012 seminal book, Why Nations Fail by Nobel Laureates Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, concludes that the success or failure of nations hinges primarily on their institutions—not geography, culture, or other factors. It’s an insightful theory, but my experiences on the ground suggest there’s a layer of complexity that their research doesn’t fully address. Last month, heavy rains washed away a bridge leading to our construction site, cutting off our community and many residents from the city and its essential facilities. In response, the residents ingeniously constructed a makeshift bridge each day—knowing it would be swept away by the end of the day, only to rebuild it again the next morning. This repeated effort wasn’t a testament to resilience; it was a glaring example of institutional failure. First, for not building a safe, permanent bridge, and second, for being unable to repair it promptly once it failed. Ironically, while this
