BERDE Certification is the formal assessment, rating, and certification process for projects of the BERDE Program. It is conducted in a third-party assessment process to ensure a credible, independent, impartial, and objective assessment, rating, and certification of projects under BERDE. BERDE Certification measures how a building excels above and beyond the existing local environmental regulations and standards.
The First LEED for Homes Certified Project in the Philippines and in Southeast Asia Region The U.S. Green Building Council has awarded YY House Mandaue City, Philippines as the outstanding single family project which use AAC LightStrong Block for their wall system.
The sample blocks were soaked in the water for a specific number of hours and the weight gained was recorded as moisture is absorbed. After conducting the absorption rate test, natural drying test was conducted. A sample was left at ambient condition of the laboratory and the change in weight was observed and recorded. The temperature ranged from 25+/-5 °C and relative humidity by 60+/-10%
Noise control is one of the ways to uphold the health and well-being of the occupants. It is very important to stay in an area that is restful and relaxing. The use of LightStrong AAC block provides good sound insulation due to its porous property making it ideal for buildings such as schools, hospitals, hotels, and offices. A Consultant for Acoustics and Audio Engineering evaluated the sound insulation property of LightStrong AAC Blocks showing a significant reduction of noise transmission.
Safety is everyone's top priority. The wise use of materials for building a home is of great significance to keep the well-being of the family. Fire accidents are unpredictable. Through the use of LightStrong AAC Block, it prevents the spread of fire. LightStrong AAC Wall withstands high temperatures even exposed to a minimum of 4 hours of fire. Furthermore, due to its good thermal property, it reduces the consumption of energy to cool or warm a building. This contributes to lower electrical bills.
Several Contractors express their desire to use LightStrong AAC for their Government projects as the construction timeline is critical and they see LightStrong can help them meet the schedule. Furthermore, the quality and benefits are better compared to conventional wall systems. DPWH Secretary Mark Villar issued Department Order No. 80, Amendment to DPWH Standard Specification for Item 1046 – Masonry Works, allowing the use of LightStrong AAC Blocks for any government projects.

We’ve addressed some of the frequently asked questions about LightStrong blocks to assist you in making informed decisions.
LSB can be widely used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings, such as hotels, retail, hospitals, residential, factory/warehouse, schools and even perimeter fences/firewall.
Although approximately 80% of the block is air, LSB’s bearing strength can go up to 1,160 PSI (half of that of normal concrete). Because it’s lightweight, it would put less load on the foundation. This then reduces the impact of an earthquake on the structure. Unlike the heterogeneous common hollow blocks which are made of a mixture of cement, sand, gravel, and water, LSBs are single-phase building materials so they are much more compact. Therefore, it resists cracks or breakage.
From its production up to the actual usage and disposal, LSBs produce around 30% less solid waste compared to your regular alternatives. Since these precisely-cut blocks fit so well together, you don’t need to do that much on-site cutting, therefore minimizing waste. Greenhouse gas emissions during production are also significantly lower. Aside from that, LSBs also utilize industrial wastes such as fly ash as a main raw material.
These advantages of the LSB may qualify for certain LEED points which can be considered for certification.
No. LSBs do not entail special care in handling. It can even withstand high stacking levels.
With its excellent fire rating, LSBs is ideal as firewalls.
With workability similar to that of wood, all these fasteners can be readily used on LSBs.
