MANILA, Philippines—Solar photovoltaic and renewable energy (RE) technologies are now required in new and existing buildings after the Department of Energy issued a policy on the adoption of the guidelines of energy conservation.
The DOE on Friday released Department Circular 2020-12-0026 that aims to promote the use of the energy-conserving design on buildings and their services.
This will also boost the demand for materials specifically designed for energy conservation.
“Covered buildings shall source, initially, a minimum of 1 percent of their projected annual energy requirements,”stated the DC.
Other technologies that can be used are wind power supply systems, solar weather hea…
