1.0 INTRODUCTION
One of the major problems that we are experiencing today is pollution.
Nowadays, pollution isnt always caused just by vehicles plying the streets of
Metro Manila, but also from the lights that we use and even our very way of
consuming electricity. We commonly use CFC bulbs because we think that they
are less expensive. But little do we know that they consume a lot more electricity
than other lights do. We seldom take into consideration the interior design of the
building and the possible savings we can get from carefully designed interiors.
These two problems are the primary considerations of our proposed design
of a four-storey commercial building. It is our aim that the structure will be able
to reduce significant amounts of energy that are usually caused by our appliances
and lightings, and help in promoting the drive towards a friendlier environment.
with reflective coatings to reduce the need for lightings. LED lights will also be
used for the structure since these also help reduce energy consumption.

It is an advanced structural design program that will serve as our
basis in the design of structural members. This may also foresee the
stability of our structure based on the loads that will be used in the
structure.
The next consideration for our design is the protection of the environment,
since we are designing an environment-friendly structure. This is the primary
reason why we incorporated green design in the structure.
have had to be done whenever deemed necessary. The slabs, beams, and columns
were designed to resist gravity loads and lateral forces (such as seismic forces) in
accordance with the provisions of the National Structural Code of the Philippines
and other pertinent codes and standards followed in practice.
To avoid air quality and noise problems, temporary walls are to be created
to contain or muffle the noise produced by the equipment, and to prevent dust
from spreading all over the vicinity. Construction equipment is allowed for usage
during night time, to obviate disturbances to the day time activities of Lyceum
College and St. Peregrine Chapel. Also, to avoid accidents, hard hats and proper
construction attires are required for the workers.
To avoid traffic congestion on the area, which lies along the main road of
Muntinlupa City, strict traffic rules and policies must be implemented.

3.2 Introduction
In biogeography, a species is defined as native (or indigenous) to a given
region or ecosystem if its presence in that region is the result of only natural
processes, with no human intervention. Every natural organism (as opposed to a
domesticated organism) has its own natural range of distribution in which it is
regarded as native. Outside this native range, a species may be introduced by
human activity; it is then referred to as an introduced species within the regions
where it was anthropogenically introduced.
Energy loses some of its potential each time it is converted from one form to
another, which explains why passive solar heat is much more efficient than
electric heat
Air leaks in the building envelope represent a significant loss of energy and
open the door to moisture damage inside wall and ceiling cavities.
Controlling the movement of heat, air, and moisture involves every part of the
building and everyone on the building team (GreenBuilding.com, n.d.-1, The
Science, par. 1-6).
Create an effective air barrier and make sure everyone on the build team
understands their role in maintaining it through various stages of construction.
Include some form of mechanical ventilation in the house and strive for a
"pressure neutral" interior as a minimum requirement.
Make sure construction details are able to handle water movement via gravity,
diffusion, and capillary action.
In areas of high noise, consider window upgrades, sound barriers, and
alternatives to conventional stick framing.
22
Indoor Air Quality - Poor indoor air quality is often caused by mold and mildew
that are the result of leaks or poorly designed and maintained heating and cooling
23
Glass is carving a niche for itself as one of the most popular 'green'
building materials. It is highly sought-after, for its ability to extend both
functional as well as aesthetic advantages. Glass has today transformed
architecture across the globe. It gives a plethora of design options, helps use light
and space and is used as a material for structural glazing or curtain wall of the
building. It has truly become a symbol of futuristic architecture
(glassisgreen.com, n.d., par. 1-8)).
Since it acts as a powerful barrier for suns heat from entering the
building, it serves as an excellent material for window glazing, facades, skylights
and glass for exteriors. Wherever there is a need to cut the heat coming in, and
allow only the light to be transmitted, i.e., French glass door/patio glass doors and
glass greenhouses - reflective glass is widely used.

3.3.5LED Lights
Lighting maintenance can be a costly and time consuming chore,
especially in public buildings. The electrical maintenance required for lighting
systems that daily receive harsh and continual use, sometimes 24 hours a day, 365
days of the year is overwhelming. The physical and financial effort needed to
maintain public building lighting has, in the past, created pounding headaches and
gaping holes in the budget.
The initial cost of an LED retrofit can frighten off the most dedicated user
of green technology, but luckily, this cost pays itself back within five years of
installation, if not sooner, for LED fixtures and bulbs can last for ten years, if not
more. This impressive ROI means that a little initial planning for a greater initial
cost results in future financial and sustainable benefits down the road. LED
lighting is a positive addition for any facility, including public buildings.
There are two major benefits for installing LED lighting in any building,
and particularly in a public building project. LED lighting produces measureable
financial benefits and notable physical benefits. By evaluating LED lighting by its
financial and physical impact, we see that the benefits are overwhelmingly
apparent.
25
LED lighting should pay for itself when all savings have been calculated.
This benefit can be especially crucial in public building projects that may be
operating on a severely limited budget. While the initial cost is something to
consider, the benefits of LED energy savings and the helpful maintenance savings
due to a much longer time before failure or routine bulb change, make a higher
installment cost well worth the effort. In addition to the rapid ROI, many state and
local utilities offer significant rebates that can pay for up to half the cost of the
installation in certain areas, which may very well include public buildings. There
are online calculators to help discover a buildings predicted ROI for an LED
installation, should an electrical contractor, engineer, or designer need numbers
for a specific example.
Because it can be dimmed without affecting the life of the fixtures, lights
that are frequently switched on and off experience no negative consequences. This
is especially useful in applications with sensors where the fixture can be shut off
when the area is not in use. Lights can also be dimmed when outside light is
measured to be maintaining light levels, therefore saving energy in the process.
These features are often particularly helpful in public building lighting design. A
well-designed fixture can also retain 90 percent of its initial output after 70,000
hours, which is nearly twice the life of long-life fluorescent sources. Fewer
fixtures will be required over time, which means the longer lifecycle does not
pose environmental problems, and, unlike traditional lighting choices, LEDs do
not contain hazardous materials, further improving the green initiative in a
building.
26
LED lighting has the ability to natively produce a variety of colors that
can suit a particular buildings needs, from directional use to ambiance. Because
of this ability, LED lighting can generate specific colored light with fixtures that
direct a majority of the light directly from the fixture to the space. This provides a
distinct advantage over fluorescents where due to the nature of using lamps some
of the light must first be reflected up and then back down to the space in question.
This is why while both technologies can offer color temperatures to suit different
facility needs, LED fixtures can use less energy for the same color at the same
light levels.
provides free cooling without the use of mechanical systems. When carefully
designed, natural ventilation can reduce building construction costs and operation
costs and reduce the energy consumption for air-conditioning and circulating fans.
The design for natural ventilation should incorporate maximizing both the wind
and stack driven ventilation design concepts as mentioned above. General design
considerations include:

Based on the findings, articles, and journals that were presented on the
preceding pages, it was proven that LED lights are more economical to use and
produces more light than incandescent bulbs. Together with energy-saving
measures, LED Lights can be advantageous to use, and will help save energy
consumption for future use.
For the structural plan, different load combinations were considered for
the design to be safe. In the software that was used, STAAD pro 2007, the
considerations were Dead Load combination, Live load combination, and
Earthquake load combination along X and Z.

Structural designers are the ones who design the structural components.
Their role is primarily to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure in
consideration, and that the gravity loads can be resisted by the structure. While
ensuring that the structure is safe, the engineer should be able to come up with an
economical design. When these two components are met, the structure has
achieved the best design possible. They should also incorporate the aesthetic
requirements of the structure and to choose the appropriate materials (steel,
concrete, timber) to be able to meet certain design requirements.
The reference for all the design procedures that were done in this design
project is the sixth edition of the National Structural Code of the Philippines,
which were mostly based on international codes from the United States of
America such as the American Concrete Institute codes on the design of
reinforced concrete structures, among others.
The design moments that were used for the beam and column
computations were done using STAAD Pro 2007. All values that were generated
by this program were transferred to a program that the researchers programmed
using Microsoft Excel 2010. This program is capable of computing the
dimensions of the beams, columns, footings, and the diameter of the bars that are
to be used for the structure. According to Section 408.4.2 of the National
Structural Code of the Philippines, approximate methods of frame analysis may
be used
For the footings, there are primarily three kinds of footings that were used
in this project. They are the square footing, rectangular footing, and the
rectangular combined footing. These were determined from the geotechnical
engineering report that the researchers got from the Municipal Hall of Muntinlupa
City.
Still the National Structural Code of the Philippines specifies that all
members of frames or continuous construction shall be designed for the maximum
effects of factored loads as determined by the theory of elastic analysis except as
modified by Section 408.5. It shall be permitted to simplify the design
76
The main reference for the estimation of the project cost is what the group
have learned on our courses, while the prices are from the average material costs
that is present near the area. It is also the same with the making of project
schedule, the group also used what weve learned from the course.
though the development part on the thesis, which is providing some materials or
modifications for it to be called a green building, it just slightly affect the
construction.
The first part on having a project is designing a plan that will suit what the
beneficiary wants which is having a dormitory building that also have open spaces
on the first floor to be used for commercial use. The researchers first consulted
the beneficiary what they really want to see on the building, according to them
they want some rooms that will be suited for students, who are the target
customer. Even though the beneficiary are not strict about the details the group
want to provide a building that exceeds there expectation. To achieve that the
group consulted some engineers and architects regarding for the planning stage so
that everything about the plan follows all specification like spacing of the
columns, dimension of each rooms, the location of fire exit and many more. As
the group consulted to architect and other engineers. The researchers found out
that there are still many things to be considered in making a plans.
As the set of plans have been done, the group also added some
modifications to make the building green. The thesis shows that green doesn't
have to be expensive to build, nor does it have to look "different". It can be
designed in any style, or any shape. The main focus of green building is to
provide benefits to the occupants. A green building is a building that is designed,
constructed, and operated utilizing a whole-system design approach, with the goal
of enhancing the overall environmental performance of the building and the site
on which it sits.
The group provides the use of glasses, LED lights and natural air
ventilation as the green application on our building. Glass is widely used as a
part of green building because it just not provide nice aesthetics for the
building, it also help the lighting so that it will lessen the use of electricity during
the daytime. The group also suggests the use of reflective glasses so that it will
reflect much light to block the heat penetration on the building.
Lastly, the group also provide the use of LED lights rather than
commercial fluorescent bulbs. Lighting maintenance can be a costly and time
consuming chore, especially in public buildings. The electrical maintenance
required for lighting systems that daily receive harsh and continual use,
sometimes 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year is overwhelming. The physical
and financial effort needed to maintain public building lighting has, in the past,
created pounding headaches and gaping holes in the budget. LED lighting
contributes in energy saving and has lower costs.
After having the estimated project cost, the group proceed on project
scheduling. The group specifies the step by step process on the construction so
that we can allot times regarding on the project. The researchers decided to
provide long amount of days on each step for the reason that it may be delayed
due to some external factors like weather and many more. The group also shows
what step are the critical ones and which are the minor so that even the project is
in delay it can still coupe up with the schedule. Another thing is that the group
also provide the manpower and equipment schedule to know how many
manpower and equipment are to be used.
79
For the project schedule, the group used the MS Project as a powerful tool
to program the flow of the project, from the start until the end. The researchers
provided pertinent details on the said program and at the same time, projected all
possible delays in the construction process such as the days where in the project
construction cannot commence due to legal holidays.

Thus the primary objective of the soil collected was to meet all the
foundation requirements of the project, along with these are; to conduct a
detailed soil investigation of the area and check the integrity of the foundation
of the soil, to be able to recommend the most suitable type of foundation
scheme and the associated net bearing capacities, to evaluate the magnitude of
the expected foundation settlements and to recommend any mitigation
procedures and to identify any foundation soil stability problems within the
project area.
One borehole was carried out to depth reaching hard bearing layer. The
borehole was located in accessible area within the project site. To advance the
borehole was boring was employed. Standard penetration (SPT) was carried out
in soil at depth intervals of not more than 2.0 m. The SPT is performed using
the standard split spoon sampler, having 50 mm outside diameter, 35 mm inside
diameter and about 710 mm length, which is attached at the bottom of a string
of drill rods. The sampler is driven into the bottom of the borehole by means of
63 kg hammer falling freely along a guide from a height of 760 mm onto an
anvil at the top of the drill rods. The sampler is driven to an initial penetration of
150 mm to bypass disturbed soil at the bottom of the borehole. Then it is driven
300 mm further. The number of blows required for each 150 mm is recorded.
The total number of blows for the last 300 mm of penetration is known as the
standard penetration resistance (N) of the soil. Correlations have been
developed between the SPT N value and soil parameters which can be used for
bearing capacity estimates. During the SPT disturbed soil samples are obtained
in the split barrel sampler as it penetrates into the soil. Part of the retrieved soil
is placed in moisture-tight plastic bags for further examination and laboratory
testing.
The analysis of the soil project begins with the site investigation of soil,
rock, fault distribution and bedrock properties on and below an area of interest
to determine their engineering properties including how they will interact with,
on or in a proposed construction. Site investigations are needed to gain an
understanding of the area in or on which the engineering will take place.
Investigations can include the assessment of the risk to humans, property and
the environment from natural hazards such as earthquakes, landslides,
sinkholes, soil liquefaction, debris flows and rock falls.
The soil within this area can be idealized as four layers in which the
upper layer consists of clayey sand dark gray moist, loose to medium dense with
appreciable amount of gravel. The second layer is silty clay light gray in color,
wet, medium dense to dense. The third layer is silty sand light gray in color, dry,
and dense. The bottom layer is clay and sandstone light to dark brown, coarse-
grained, poorly cemented, massive formation. Groundwater table was not
observed below the ground during the investigation.

Considering the type of structure under study, the loads expected there
from the subsurface conditions at the site, spread footing foundation would be
most economical foundation for the proposed building. The spread foundation
could be in the form of isolated spread or combined.
Isolated spread footing shall be placed on firm layer formation below the
natural grade line at depths which can be established in the course of
excavation. This layer may be encountered at depths ranging from 1.5 m and
below. At this depth the footing are expected to bear on firm layer of clayey
sand. Combined footing, if adjacent footings are to each other it is suggested to
be combined for ease of construction. It is further suggested to integrate the
grade beams with the combined footings to obtain a stiffer foundation from the
inverted T configuration. The foundation can then be analyzed as part of the
moment resisting frame which may result in a more economical safer structure.
A major procedure is done on the site, and this starts with the site
preparation. Site preparation involves staking out of the site. The site location
would be surveyed and marked out for the locations boundary lines. The
topographical heights of the site would also be determined. It is followed by
clearing of the site. Obstruction on the location would then be removed,
allowing space for the equipments, materials and machinery that is to be used
for the construction. Then for the last step for the site preparation would be
excavation. This is for the foundation construction and design.

After such is we now then determine and design the type of foundations,
earthworks, and/or pavement sub-grades required for the intended man-made
structures to be built. Foundations are designed and constructed for structures of
various sizes such as high-rise buildings, bridges, medium to large commercial
buildings, and smaller structures where the soil conditions do not allow code-
based design. Foundations built for above-ground structures include shallow
and deep foundations. Retaining structures include earth-filled dams and
retaining walls. Earthworks include embankments, tunnels, dikes, levees,
channels, reservoirs, deposition of hazardous waste and sanitary landfills.

By subdividing the project into different phases, the group has come up
with three hundred and sixty nine days in total to finish the whole project,
assuming that there are no delays in the construction of the whole project. Stated
below are the detailed engineering works and the duration of each construction
work. The Project is expected to start on March 2014 and is expected to end on
March 2015, giving us a total of 369 days.

The group incorporated the use of LED lights, one of the latest
inventions today in the lighting industry. At first, LED lighting may seem to be
expensive, but test shows that in the long run, it will be more economical than the
conventional ones. It is also proven to be durable, thus eliminates the need to buy
a new one from time to time. LED lights are also brighter and strikes directly into
the ground because it is measured in lumens. The beneficiary also needed to use
large windows to let larger volume of air pass through the building. These
eliminated the need for air conditioning equipment and lessen the emission of
CFCs. Bright colors were incorporated into the architectural design to eliminate
the need for electricity-powered lighting during daytime and lessen the need for
lighting.
9.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
As for the recommendations, for the building to be right and proper
towards the nearby establishments, we would say that it would be better for the
property line to have an at least .7 meter allowance from the building right beside
it so that the isolated footing designed on the top-right side of the project will still
be within the property line. In addition to that, as we can see on the 3D rendered
view, the stairs going to the roof deck has some kind of housing or covering; we
recommend eliminating it entirely. Because with that on the design the slab where
it is standing, which is a two-way slab and which happens to be the only two-way
slab of the project, it will be much thicker than all the other slabs, making it not so
good in terms of aesthetics. For a more economical yet user-friendly structure and
to increase the net return of income, we also suggest using tiles instead of granite
flooring.
We also recommend the use of large windows with reflective coatings and
eliminating all kinds of obstructions on the windows to ensure proper ventilation.
Light colors should also be used to lessen the need for lighting during daytime. If
there are incandescent bulbs present, they should be replaced with LED lights.
The architects and engineers should ensure that the clearance from floor to ceiling
is at least three meters to ensure proper ventilation and lighting. The architects
should also be informed that windows must not be excessively large so as to
balance aesthetic requirements. Lastly, internal loadings must be kept low.
