INTRODUCTION
1. What are happening in the field where your topic belongs?

This proposal anchored with the green ergonomics and green building in
hospitality industry in Cebu. According to Dhaliwal (2012), ‘green building’ is a
structure, technology, or building process that is environmentally accountable and
resource efficient from the siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance,
renovation, and demolition of a building. Green ergonomics is defined as ergonomics
interventions that have a pro-nature focus; specifically ergonomics that focuses on our
affinity with the natural world. In essence, ‘green building’ is intended to promote and
enhance sustainability. However, historically green building has focused on the
environment as opposed to people. Green ergonomics acknowledges that the planet is a
closed system such that a disruption in one part of the system will inevitably have
repercussions for other parts of the system. The collaboration of the Green ergonomics
and Green Building will aide the problem of hospitality industry.
2. What is happening in the global context in your proposal topic?

In the global context particularly in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

(2010) defines green in the context of building as “the practice of creating structures and
using processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a
building’s life-cycle.” In 2008, the Green Building Council of South Africa (GBCSA)
launched its first building-rating tool, derived from an Australian rating system, called
GreenStar South Africa (GreenStar SA) Office. With the GreenStar SA rating system,
one looks at a range of design elements for reducing the impact of the building on the
environment, including energy, water, emissions, building materials, land use, integration
with transport systems, and building management practices. The rating system allows for
up to 100 points to be obtained in nine categories and uses a star rating system based on
the number of total points achieved; that is, 45 to 59 points (four stars), 60 to 74 points
(five stars), and 75 to 100 points (six stars). With the rating of green building we can use
this tool to enhance the hospitality industry in our country.

3. What is happening in the national context in your proposal topic?

 In national context, the Philippine Green Building Council (PHILGBC) will be
holding its Building Green Hospitality Forum (BG Hospitality) towards the
transformation of the industry, providing greener and sustainable environments for
everyone. Building Green is the flagship campaign for events of Philippine Green
Building Council and consists of year-round activities that encourage the participation in
the green building advocacy. Building Green brings together its wide stakeholder base
from the building construction industry to share relevant bleeding-edge technology, and
best practices on green building. Building green is also a venue for meaningful dialogue
among practitioners on existing and forthcoming programs and procurement of green
products and services. Experts from both private and the public sector will covered case
studies on green hotels, strategies, products and technologies that contribute to greening
the hospitality industry, as well as industry best practices on greening.
4. What is happening in the local context in your proposal topic?

In three years a new iconic structure will rise near the central business district in
Cebu City. Expected to be the largest green office building in the Philippines, Cebu
Exchange by boutique developer ArthaLand Corp. is expected to help cement Cebu’s
reputation as an epicenter of business and growth in the country as well as one of the
most prominent IT-BPM destinations in the world. The Cebu Exchange will have several
environmentally sustainable and resource-efficient design features. These include low-
voltage lighting, water-saving plumbing systems, water recycling system, a materials
recovery facility, energy saving airconditioning system, its own septage treatment plant,
optimized building envelope, and a terrace garden and sky park, among others.

According to Po, the project is the only one in the country that will have dual
certification on sustainability. The building is registered with both the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC) and pre-certified for the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED). At the same time, it is also registered with the Philippine
Green Building Council (PhilGBC) and is on track to getting the Building for
Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence (BERDE) certification. “This building is a
testament to sustainability. We are the only developer that embarks on dual
certification with the USGBC and PhilGBC. This shows that we think global but act
local. We are bringing a world-class building to this wonderful city,” Po said.

5. What is the historical background of the topic?

In the past, going green was seen as a fad within all industries, especially the
hospitality industry. However, some of these “fads” have proven the critics wrong
through the years. There are some green hotels that have been in existence for more than
three decades (Pizam, 2008). Choosing to be a green hotel is a very significant decision.
According to the Alliance to Save Energy, the lodging industry was the fourth largest.
Going Green 10 user of energy among businesses in the United States (Fedrizzi and
Rogers, 2002).

Fortunately, the lodging industry is making changes to facilitate environmental

upgrades. One such change, which began in 1996, is a program to allow for certification
in the travel and tourism industry. The organizations involved created a program called
“Agenda 21 for the Travel & Tourism Industry: Towards Environmentally Sustainable
Development” (Hospitality Going Green, 2008). This title pays homage to the Agenda 21
created at the Earth Summit in 1992. The program created a “Green Globe” certificate for
hotels that address the issues of greenhouse emissions, energy efficiency and water
management. This is just one of the many types of certification processes that are
available in the United States.

Another is to be LEED certified. For a building or hotel to be considered green, it

needs to be recognized by the U.S. Green Building Council, or USGBC, and certified for
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED. The USGBC was formed in
1993 to define what is eco-friendly within the building development community and what
needs to be done to help the initiative (Holtmann, 2008). LEED is the rules that builders
follow to have a certified green building. There are five areas that LEED certification
uses as criteria to judge a hotels sustainability: sustainable site development, water
savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality (Katz,
2008). The LEED standards were first used in 2000 and now there are at least 60 hotels
that are applying to be LEED certified (Butler, 2008).
6. Why are you interested in investigating the proposal topic?

I am very interested in this proposal because of sustainability in Hotels points out

that of all commercial buildings, hotels are among the highest per-square-foot energy and
water users, and that carbon emissions for full-service hotels exceed emissions for
limited-service hotels. However, it notes that opportunities are available across all hotel
types for improvements that go far beyond existing “sustainable choice” programs such
as those limiting linen changes or curbing water use by guests. Trends highlighted in the
report include: Modular construction the use of prefabricated and identical modules built
offsite and transported to the construction site to form the structure. Modular construction
reduces construction time, minimizes waste, requires far less energy use, and standardizes
quality across assets. Sustainable renovations incorporating sustainable fixtures and
furniture into hotel room renovations. This can help reduce the property’s carbon
footprint and help showcase the hotel’s commitment to sustainability. Smart guest room
technology the use of technology to conserve energy, from allowing guests to control the
room temperature to in-mirror televisions. A heightened focus on health and
wellness improving fitness offerings with amenities such as rental workout gear and in-
room fitness equipment; and health-focused features such as aromatherapy, advanced
water purification systems and circadian lighting that triggers the body’s natural rhythms
for rest and wakefulness.

And what makes it more interesting are the long-term investments in high-
efficiency energy management systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning retrofits,
and on-site renewable energy all require substantial planning and collaboration between
owners and operators, such investments can pay long-term dividends for hotels in terms
of utility savings, improved guest experiences, and increased net operating income, the
report notes. Sustainability in Hotels cites several factors spurring hotel owners’ interest
in sustainability: The desire to meet guest expectations for hotels to have in place
environmental programs; the need to comply with increasingly relevant government
regulations related to carbon emission reductions and energy efficiency; the desire to
achieve internal sustainability goals; and the anticipation of greater interest in
sustainability by future investors.

7. What are the gaps or problem in your proposal topic?

It is argued here with the gap that “human factors for sustainable development”,
given its broader on the entire triadic relationship, might best be envisaged as the broader
term with green ergonomics encompassed under this term to emphasise designs and
interventions that facilitate the connections between humans and nature. While green
ergonomics serves to emphasise natural capital in ensuring sustainable development it
should, however, not be viewed as independent from social and economic capital. One of
the shareholders in any hotel is the consumer who is choosing this hotel as their
destination for work or play. Unfortunately, those staying in the hotels may have
unrealistic expectations of what the hotel can do according to the going-green principles.
Many guests want their luxury services while helping the environment, and some of these
services will have to be changed to accommodate the environment.

A major barrier to becoming an environmentally friendly hotel is not seeing the

urgency to go green from the guests. The consumers, for the most part, do not want to be
involved in the changes, but just know they are occurring (Butler, 2008). According to
the article, “Becoming an Ecologically Sustainable Organization,” one of the top five
reasons sustainability fails is the lack of buy-in from shareholders (2008). Without the
support of the shareholders, whether they are the owners, managers or customers, no
project will succeed. While there are industry standard certificates available,
unfortunately, there are many hotels that are just calling themselves green to appear more
environmentally friendly and to sway the consumer (Pizam, 2008). This is a problem
similar to the organic food market as there is not a standard set of rules and regulations.
Along with Going Green 20 this problem, hotel industry personnel know about the
different certificates available for their buildings; however, the general public is not
aware of the certificates and are not as educated in what makes a hotel green. And with
the growing amount of certificates available, the credibility of these certificates has been
reduced (Ricord and Smith, 2009).
 Another problem for hotels is making a hotel LEED-certified while maintaining
their branding initiatives (Butler, 2008). The hotel owners may have a vision of one
thing, but making that vision fit into the greening initiatives of the USGBC can be a
much harder process. However, if the hotel wants to compete in the future, they will need
to find a way to incorporate the LEED initiatives. Butler goes on to explain that there are
also conflicts between hotel owners and hotel managers. These relationships may be set
up to focus in one direction, most likely the bottom line, but need to be reassessed to
incorporate greening initiatives (2008).

This is also confirmed as one of the reasons sustainability fails as there is conflict
between values and money in achieving goals (Becoming an ecologically, 2008). The
hotel owners may not see the day-to-day interaction and what the hotel guests want to see
updated when it comes to the environment. This can create a divide between how the
managers want to make the guests happy and the hotel owners making money. Will the
guests accept the changes or will they want the luxury and forget about environmental
needs (Butler, 2008)? While the guest can prove to be selfish in their wants while staying
at a hotel, the hotelier must also be responsible in the changes they make. The hotel can
not negatively impact the guest when it comes to saving money (Olesen, Seppanen,
Boerstra, 2006). This contradicts the previous statement of individuals paying more if
something is green.

8. Which gaps or problem in your proposal topic8 will your study focus on?

This paper focuses on a smaller subset of interventions within the broader domain
of “sustainability and human factors” by defining the term green ergonomics, or
ergonomics that promotes an understanding of the role of human-nature connections in
meeting the goals of ergonomics. Pimentel et al. (2007), noted that humans are
inextricably connected to our natural environment and any strains on this system will
have significant negative implications for human health, safety, efficiency, and
effectiveness; aspects which ergonomics has a particular interest in optimising. The
International Ergonomics Association (2009) defines ergonomics as “the scientific
discipline concerned with understanding the interactions among humans and other
elements of a system” and to “design in order to optimize human well-being and overall
system performance”. Specifically, human well-being and system performance are about
designing tasks, objects, machines, jobs, environments, processes, and systems that are
usable, effective, efficient, healthy, and safe (Dul and Weerdemeester, 2008). In an era
where many natural resources are dwindling and where our products, behaviours, and
actions have major consequences on the sustainability of our environment and the planet,
we need to examine how ergonomics can play a role in the reduction of negative
environmental impacts. Even the emergence of the discipline of ergonomics, attributed to
Jastrzebowski (2001), was originally published in a journal whose English translation is
“Nature and Industry”.
