FÉDÉRATION Internationale des Administrateurs de Bien-Conselis Immobiliers (Fiabci)-Philippines, one of the world's most prestigious real estate federations, awarded Imperial Homes Corp. (IHC) with a gold for the Outstanding Developer in Affordable Housing category.

IHC, the leader in solar-powered and resilient residential development in the Asia-Pacific region, launched the country's first solar-net metered community in Via Verde Trece Martires, Cavite City.

For its Via Verde communities, IHC created proprietary innovation that addressed the needs of a developing country with one of the highest electricity rates in the world, visited by over 25 tropical cyclones and located in the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire.

Via Verde homes are able to generate their own power in order that residents could enjoy up to zero electricity bill. IHC created one of the world's strongest concrete panels with Connovate of Denmark to build homes that resisted typhoons, fire and earthquakes and were tested to stay strong up to 100 years.

Fiabci-Philippines also awarded two silvers to AboitizLand and its lifestyle community, Seafront Residences, for the Environmental and Outstanding Developer-Environmental categories. A partner in building resilient communities across the country, AboitizLand has been using the high performance concrete panels, produced by Connovate Philippines Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of IHC for its Seafront Residences project.

Emma Marcha Imperial, founder and chairwoman of IHC, expressed her gratitude to Fiabci-Philippines for the recognition and the nomination by the National Home Mortgage Finance Corporation, the company's long-term partner in promoting green and resilient communities.
