ABSTRACT

1.0 DESIGN PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

This design project is 2 story residential dwelling unit that
has a total of 540 sq.m living area and 580sq.m lot area. The
client has requested that there must be at least 2 car port, at
least 4 bedrooms, 2 toilet and bath, and a garden or open space
area. The designed project must be adaptable for additional
load for future purposes that is why the in this design it is
overestimated and upsized for future purposes.

2.1 Qualification of Residential Building Plan To Be Used for

Electrical Design
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 7920 New Electrical Engineering Law.

Section. 34. Preparation of Plans, Supervision of Installation, Application of

the Philippine Electrical Code.
• It shall be unlawful for any person not authorized under this Act to
prepare plans, electrical valuations or specifications for any electrical
wiring, equipment or system; and no installation thereof shall be
undertaken unless the plans, designs, valuations and specifications
have been prepared by or under the responsible charge of, and
signed and sealed by a professional electrical engineer; and a
construction permit for the execution thereof is first secured; and
unless the work is done in accordance with the Philippine Electrical
Code and is executed under the responsible charge or supervision of
a professional electrical engineer, a registered electrical engineer, or
a registered master electrician, as the case may be, and the routinary
fiscal and ministerial requirements of the government agency, if any,
exercising jurisdiction over the particular installation have been
complied with.
In Preparation of Electrical Plans it should be in compliance of Philippine
Electrical Code. And in submission of electrical plans to the office building
official to get electrical permit it should include the electrical design
analysis showing all the calculations of short circuit, currents and voltage
drop.
3.0 BASIS OF DESIGN

3.0 Codes and Industry Standards

two wires, grounded, 60 hz.

3.) contractor shall verify and orient the actual locations of

concrete terminal.

4.) all installation shall be concealed from view, wiring shall be

incased in pvc pipe or flexible conduit except power service
which shall be in rsc.

3.5. Lighting System

This design uses a mixture of LED light fixtures and fluoresces
lamps

3.6. Power Outlets

The outlets used in this design are universal outlets that are
duplex and placed reasonably spaced from each other to lessen the
use of extension cord.

3.7. Wiring Materials, Equipment and Devices

4.0. PROBLEMS AND CONSTRAINTS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE

DESIGN
Some of the problems and constraints to be addressed are that the
