NAGA CITY, June 29 (PIA) --- In a pioneering move to build a dwelling that would resist the ill-effects of hazardous environmental occurrence such as typhoons and limit if not totally eliminate its perilous threat to human lives, the Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology (BISCAST) inaugurated a Climate Change Resilient Pilot House (CCRPH) here, June 24 inside the BISCAST campus here.
The project is being implemented under the Integrated Resource Management Program of the college popularly known as “NEXUS” through the BISCAST- Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) cooperation.

Madame Ruth Erlbeck, head of the delegation from the German Government in her message at the CCRPH Inauguration, stated that BISCAST is the only academic institution not only in Asia but around the globe that opened its door to serve as site for the aforementioned technology.
BISCAST was selected to assist in disseminating the NEXUS concept including applied technologies, within and outside of the academe. The said approach will then be integrated into the State College Institutional Standard Procedures and Planning. BISCAST’s Architecture and Engineering students are also tasked to implement green architecture and green building standards in the building designs.
Prior to this, BISCAST already partnered with the city government of Naga in the NEXUS/ Naga City affordable housing project in Del Rosario, here. Part of the commitment was the implementation of projects based on the following principles of promoting renewable energy, eco-friendly campus projects, energy efficiency, green architecture, water management and climate change resilient affordable housing among others.
