Abstract of the study

Markets are a prominent trading space found in most cities and municipalities; it
is where people sell their products and buy their daily needs. Market accompanied by
terminal provides direct access to people on what they need like: jobs, markets and
goods, social interaction, education, and a full range of other services contributing to
healthy and fulfilled lives. The project proposes for the citizens of the city as well as the
neighboring towns to have alternative options where to conduct their transportation and
market activities. These public buildings play a vital role in the government. It provides a
livelihood to the community, lessens consumable energy usage, and serves as a landmark
to the city. The study will incorporate energy efficiency designs with passive and active
strategies to provide thermal comfort to the users; this concept also will help to reduce
developmental and operational impacts that affect the natural environment, and will
focuses mainly on the utilization of natural and renewable energy for the development to
function successfully with less harm to the grounds. In achieving energy efficiency,
cutting of power demands on buildings, and producing energy locally from renewable
resources are necessary, also, sharing power by creating structures that generate a surplus
of energy are the substantial goal of the concept. Furthermore, for the building character,
the proposal will integrate the bamboo concept for its building façade to serve as a
landmark to the city of Cauayan

INTRODUCTION

Markets are a prominent trading space found in most cities; it is where people sell
their products and buy their daily needs. Public market accompanied by terminal provides
direct access to people on what they need, like jobs, markets, goods, social interaction,
education, and other services, contributing to healthy and fulfilled lives (Ban, 2016).
Their commonplace role as a venue for tourists, commuters, traders, and buyers to
exchange goods with currencies can trace back to the history of public markets as a place
of commerce and transport as a bloodstream of the city. Business activities in ancient
markets conduct in open spaces without shades. However, over the years, as urbanization
occurred, there has been increased effort to develop formal structures where the activity
of the market can conduct. Usually, markets are position at the epicenter of economic and
social life, though they are referring to with many different phrases depending on their
demographic region. In most of Asia, public markets are called fresh markets or wet
markets. However, in Europe, they typically called markets, and in North America, they
are called farmers' markets (Daniel and Nestico, 2015). In Asia, public markets are
divided into two (2) parts: wet and dry markets. Wet markets have wet floors associated
with fruits, vegetables, seafood, and poultry. On the other hand, Dry markets deal with
dry goods such as textiles, carpets, clothing, and spices. It is a type of market found only
in certain places and is not in a term that exists widely. Unlike dry markets, the seller in
the wet markets regularly use water to sprinkle the fish and meat products also to wash
down the floor to keep the area clean and humid (Difference Between Wet and Dry
Market, 2018)

Generally, public markets exist to fulfill a general-purpose, showcase the unique


character and culture while serving its everyday shopping needs. Open markets prohibit
chain stores and franchises. They focus on businesses that are locally own and operate,
which highlight the best local foods, crafts, music, heritage, and culture. Public markets
are also powerful economic engines. They create entrepreneurial opportunities for
citizens and immigrants who often find it challenging to enter into the mainstream
economy (Zaretsky, 2015).

Moreover, the marketplace is for sustainable and healthy living; solving


environmental and sustainability issue in the marketplace is part of the overall design.
Reducing water use, waste and packaging, greenhouse gasses, and improving health,
hygiene, and nutrition are ideas that will help create a sustainable and healthy
environment. Not only will the design be sustainable, but a more sustainable food system
is a goal for this project, Sebastian (2015). Supporting local farmers for dairy, fresh
meats, and produce is healthier and helps build a sustainable community. Sustainable
public markets with transport terminal will help to lessen environmental degradation and
minimizes energy consumption, as mentioned by the UNESCAP (2015). Hence, markets
and terminal need to be resilient to thrive alongside modern development without
compromising their innate qualities and ways of operating. Fundamentally, the market is
the people's place. It is where vendors make a living, and where customers shop for their
daily goods (Zakariya, Kamarudin, & Harun, 2016). The availability of essential facilities
in the market may continue to impede on the enormous offers which the market can bring
in terms of profit. The regeneration of the local urban marketplace is also essential in
conserving the city's heritage values, where they play a significant role as a place for
commercial and cultural interchange (UNESCO, 2013).

Specifically, the Philippine public market or "palengke” as is colloquially called,


reflects the culture of its locality or regional area. It also served as the face of business in
the different cities and municipalities of the country, particularly in the non-metropolis
areas. Markets have always been an essential component of a city's public realm. A city
without a marketplace cannot function, because it lacks the platform where layers of the
community could gather and socialize, also where tangible and intangible culture could
feel in its sense of place (Qamaruz-Zaman, 2014). In addition, these are community's
‘open-air living rooms' which contribute to the city's economic growth, and platform for
unhindered social and cultural public interaction and even serve to encourage upward
mobility in society which expected to continue to serve as one of the primary sources of
fresh products and goods for the general public in the years to come. It is then essential
that standards on hygiene and food handling procedures be met to create a comfortable
and safe shopping environment for patrons. Moreover, marketplace thrives in the first
4

place because it serves the local community and has been a significant part of local
traditions that is rich with arts and cultural practices (Khanian, M. et al., 2013; Pourjafar,
Ebrahimi and Ansari, 2013) Its localness and charm inadvertently entice visitors from
outside to come to the market, which gradually turns the marketplace into an urban
tourist attraction. Public market accompanied by transport terminal is an advantageous
reality for promotion and easy access of local surplus products from one place to another.

Commonly, transport terminal refers to the vital node in transport systems and
terminals exist as a point of interchange within the same modal system, which ensure a
continuity of the flows. Terminals, however, may also be very important points of
transfer between different modes of transportation and their respective networks, so that
goods/ surplus goods produced by the local can be transport from one place to another.
Furthermore, one core attribute of transport terminals is their convergence function. They
are obligatory points of passage having capitalized on their geographical location which
is generally intermediate to commercial flows.

Furthermore, Hindawi (2012) stated that efficient terminals can improve


passenger transportation networks, it adjust the layout of networks, provide a passenger
guidance system, and optimize the assembly and distribution of modern logistic modes,
among others sustainable transport terminal it also optimizes the needs of transporting
and passengers, minimizes consumption of energy, land and other resources, generates
low emissions of, greenhouse gases and ozone-depleting substances, minimizes the
adverse social impacts arising from transport operations. In addition, Ban (2016)
mentioned that sustainable transport provides services and infrastructure for the mobility
of people and goods— advancing economic and social development to benefit today's
and future generations—in a manner that is safe, affordable, accessible, efficient, and
resilient, while minimizing carbon and other emissions and environmental impacts; this
credibility was supplemented by Star 8 Green (2016) whereby they introduces Solar
Jeepney and tricycle or the E-jeepney and E-tricycle which become iconic in the
Philippines. The E-jeepney and E-tricycle eliminate gas guzzling, harmful emissions, and
noise pollution. According to Perante (2017) in line with the Smarter City Project with the
5

Isabela State University and the Department of Science and Technology, the city
government, likewise, partnered with Ropali Trading for the conceptualization of e-
tricycles with solar roof. The advocacy to adopt the use of modern-day technology helps
conserve energy and protect the environment. And now, electric tricycles or e-tricycles are
already present in the city of Cauayan however electric jeepney or e-jeepney are not yet
introduced.

Moreover, markets and terminal function as essential nodes of urban commerce


that plays an essential role in a city (Morales, 2011). Therefore, the government listed a
priority project such as public market with transport terminal; however the project is
actually proposes by Ropali Realty Management and Development Corporation to the
city government wherein the two parties made an agreement and a resolution as a proof
for public-private partnership. They proposes this project because the existing public
market cannot accommodate anymore the growing population of Cauayan City especially
during peak season with a total population of 140,218 with 62,889 household population
and it cannot expand horizontally because the location of the existing public market is
surrounded by big establishments like Primark, Talavera Hypermart, Puregold, Mart One
and etc. and also the mayor of Cauayan city also mentioned that future development will
be done on outskirt of the Central Business District (CBD) because with the recent surge
in the growth of Cauayan City the site has exceeded its carrying capacity and can no
longer accommodate new development initiatives both from the public and private sector.
In addition, the public market usually characterized by inaccurate planning and
circulation that causes congestion, inaccessibility, poor waste management and sanitation
standards, manifestation of unscrupulous vendors, lack of a redress mechanism for
consumer complaints, and no established systems of operations, it also has also
unorganized stall because wet sections are mixed up with dry goods were the location of
meat and fish sections is also where apparel sections, footwear sections, house
accessories and etc. are located. On the other hand is the terminal since Cauayan is a city,
people from the other towns surrounding the Cauayan crowded the city and so the
terminal cannot accommodate all passengers because there is only one (1) jeepney
terminal exists in Cauayan city. Hence, the study will address these problems on the
6

development of public market with transport terminal to serve as a stepping stone of the
project to make it successful and provide solutions on consumer issues and concerns.

Moreover, as in increasing demands in development and advancement, energy


also became a problem because resources are depleting however energy now became a
necessity for regulating the life style in planet. Because of rapid growth in urbanization
and population, a huge demanded comes in the real-estate. Building is both, the higher
consumption of resources and well the greater cause for environment depletion. A
requirement of Energy is everywhere and the dependency is belongs to non-renewable
resource like fossil fuel. Fossil fuels are most responsible for the environmental depletion
as they are major factors for emission of greenhouse gasses in environment. Emission of
green gas will increase by 52% in the duration from 2005 to 2050. On other hand,
emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) is accountable for about 76 percent expected increase
of total greenhouse gas emissions (Environmental Protection Agency EPA, 2017). In
present situation there is 95% of total world energy made by resources like fossil fuels,
coal, oil, and natural gas. However, these resources cause long term damage. So, the need
for this study toward energy production from natural resources is necessary. Thus,
providing a better way for generate of energy without affecting the ecosystem. Whereas
the renewable energy resources like sunshine, wind, water and plants are to be collect
because the flows of energy from these resources never stop. So approach is to use more
as natural resources as possible. Building and construction sector itself consume about
35-40% of total energy consumption. Therefore, utilizations are the better remedy for
environment degradation and step toward to creating energy efficient buildings. A
building that uses much lower resources and energy through construction to maintenance
till removal without compromising to comfort and reliability, gives the equal output or
more with same resource consumption also provides much better quality of living with
ecofriendly environment (Energy Information Administration, 2019). Mostly, it is cost
effective over conventional buildings through its complete life. Various energy
innovative concepts like practicing with design, and proper orientation of building shows
potential to conserve energy by using of more sky light at day, and passive solar helps to
maintain temperature inside the building and reduce the energy required for cooling and
7

heating the structure. Energy efficient buildings also concern with waste reduction, water
savings, and types of material used and follows the recycle-reuse-reduce pattern shows
great resources saving object.
Furthermore, Energy efficiency is a terrific resource, fastest and cheapest way to
significantly reduce energy requirement and provides for numerous additional benefits. In
addition to reducing emissions, efficient buildings enhance energy security and reduce
dependence on oil and coal imports. Well-planned efficient buildings result in expanded
medical advantages and higher profitability for occupants because of better indoor natural
quality. Lower energy utilize can likewise bring about lower control power plant
contamination, improving local air and water quality, serves green environment.
Moreover, energy efficiency brings about lower energy use for the same or, then again
better quality outcome (Ghodeshwar, Pandey, & Gupta, 2017).

Hence, electricity is one of the most important blessings that science has given to
humankind, it became a part of modern life, and one cannot think of a world without it. In
recent years, electricity became essential needs like food, cloth, paper, and many other
things (Lekshmi, 2010). According to Energy Information Administration EIA (2019),
the demand for building usage of electricity had continuously increased up to 40 % for
lighting, heating, cooling, and refrigeration and operating appliances, computers,
electronics, machinery, and public transportation systems. Whereas during the first
quarter of the year 2019, the Philippines experienced low or zero reserves on energy
supply. Nevertheless, the deficiency of energy supply in the Philippines is not new
anymore because it also experienced in the year 2013 (Viola, 2019); there is then the
need for alternative energy solutions integrated in the design of architectural structures to
alleviate the current challenges in energy demand; as a response to this issue, the
Philippine Government has mandated a law for energy efficiency and conservation which
is the Republic Act No. 11285, known as the Energy Efficiency and Conservation act.
The law endorses the integration and development of renewable energy in projects;
besides, the law grants incentives to projects dwelling towards energy efficiency.

Generally, the source of electricity derived from fossil fuels containing


hydrocarbons, primarily coal, fuel oil, or natural gas, produced from the remains of dead
plants and animals. By generating electricity, fossil fuels process upon burning it;
however, they produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, which resulted to climate
change. They can also produce other pollutants, such as sulfurous oxides, which cause
acid rain as stated by World Nuclear Association WNA (2016). Moreover, Fossil fuels
are a substance that extracted and mined beneath the ground, which creates damage and
havoc on the soil. Therefore, as a response to this predicament, the study came up with an
alternative solution to these problems by introducing energy efficiency on buildings.
Whereas, an energy-efficient building reduces maintenance and utility costs, but, in many
cases, improves durability, lessens noise, increases comfort, and creates a healthy and
safe indoor environment. A further goal of energy-efficient construction is to limit
destruction to the ecosystem and reduce the use of natural resources like energy, land,
water, and raw materials. Reducing energy consumption is crucial because it means lesser
emissions of greenhouse gases, a known cause of global warming (Bautex, 2019). Energy
efficiency also introduces two strategies: passive and active designs. Passive is a design
that takes advantage of the climate to maintain a comfortable temperature range in the
building. Passive design reduces the need for heating or cooling, which accounts for
about 40% of energy use in the average building in tropical countries.

Moreover, passive design responds to climates and site conditions of the locality
in order to maximize building users' comfort and health while minimizing energy use. It
achieves this by using renewable sources of energy such as sun and wind to provide
household heating, cooling, ventilation, and lighting, thereby reducing or removing the
need for mechanical heating or cooling. Also, using passive design can reduce
temperature fluctuations, improve indoor air quality, and more enjoyable to live in. On
the other hand is active design, Spacey (2016) defines active design as a system or
structure that uses or produces electricity. Gönülol & Tokuç (2019) also defines active
design as the active strategies that help to supply comfort conditions when passive
strategies are not sufficient. They need the power to work and cause an increase in the
building's energy demand.

The study focuses on energy efficiency under sustainability, where the city of
Cauayan promotes this concept in order to attain its vision to be the ideal city of the
North that patronized energy efficient building. Since Cauayan City lies at the heart of
Isabela province and even in the entire stretch of Cagayan Valley, this is an excellent
advantage of the proposed public market and terminal with an approach of energy
efficiency. This concept will serve as a pattern to its neighboring town such the town of
Reina Mercedes that bounds on the North, Naguilian on the Northeast, Benito Soliven on
the East, San Guillermo on the Southeast, Angadanan on the South, Alicia on the
Southwest and Luna and Cabatuan on the Northwest (CLUP, 2018-2027). Furthermore,
the development of the public market and transport terminal plays an essential role in the
government where it provides a livelihood to the community, promotes sustainable
designs, reduce the usage of consumable energy and it will serve as a landmark to the city
wherein the design concept will be iconic. Since these are public buildings, Hermawan &
Soetanto (2014) mentioned that it should serve as a heart of urban infrastructure.
Moreover, it is also easier to promote sustained, inclusive, and sustainable economic
growth, full and productive employment, decent work for all, and the return of
investment. Considering this aspect, it will help the proposal to be more flexible in terms
of the design solutions. Furthermore, identifying the current situation or characteristics of
existing public market and transport terminal in Cauayan City will help in the
recommendations in line with the trends of the market and transport terminal designs and
also, address the identified problems on the existing structure and improve them in the
planning and design of new marketplace and transport terminal. Furthermore, separation
of these public buildings would be necessary in order to maintain the purpose of the two
wherein transport terminal is more on motorized vehicles which create congestions and
unnecessary smoke, thus public market needs to distance itself from these elements to
maintain products quality, since market contains perishable and consumable products it
should be sanitary. In addition, a thorough study on the subject matter is essential,
especially in the observation of the site so that the study will come up with a
recommendation that situates the building proposal on its proper orientation as well as
areas, facilities, amenities, and services on its best possible place.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

The public market with transport terminal proposal is for the benefit of the citizens of the
city as well as the neighboring towns so that they will have an alternative options where
to conduct their transportation and market activities. This study will provide safe and
comfortable means of transport as well as sufficient and adequate space for buying
public. The proposed site is located in Minante 1, which is a corner lot abutted by three
roads. The lot is relatively flat with a slope of fewer than 5 degrees. The lot bounded on
the north is commercial establishments that include Regional Training Center (NTC) for
criminologists which are adjacent to the site; vacant lot and proposed Central Business
District (CBD) bounded on the south and a cluster of residential houses on the east and
west.
Moreover, with the consideration of the site and location, proper distributions of
important areas needed in order to achieve a proper layout and good circulation. Promote
15

energy-efficient designs on the proposed public market with a transport terminal.


Considering the preservation of the natural environment, with minimal harm to the
habitat of wildlife animals and maximum used of environmental energy. Likewise, the
presence of the terminal has improved the effectiveness and efficiency of the city's
transportation system. It likewise has provided an additional prime commercial area to
the city, aside from increasing the city's income through the fees collected from every
public utility vehicle that passes the city daily.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT PRINCIPLES

Energy-efficient defined as buildings designed to provide a significant reduction of the


energy need for heating and cooling, independently from the energy provided by the
government and from any mechanical equipment that will be used to heat or cool the
building. It is not possible to bring recommendations of solutions that can procure energy
efficiency for all buildings. Therefore, a conscious observation and approach on the site
needs to develop in order to reach the right solution at the stage of architectural design
solutions. In the end, the product to obtain must aimed to have the quality of being more
efficient, in other words, spending fewer resources within a longer period to perform the
same action because buildings eat up much energy. According to the United Nations
Environment Program (2019), buildings are accountable for more than 40 % of global
energy used and up to one-third of the earth's greenhouse gas emissions that causes
global warming. Thus, in order to reduce this increasing consumption of energy, energy
efficient design with passive and active strategies will absolutely lessen energy
consumptions generated from fossil fuels and coals.
Furthermore, Mackres (2016) stated that buildings are significant, long-lasting
investment; and an efficient building provides better social and financial returns. Besides,
building efficiency is one of the most affordable ways to curb climate change, and to
reduce infrastructure costs and household expenses; building efficiency also provides the
advantage accountable in reducing climate change-causing emissions. Moreover, building
efficiency can reduce diseases and death related to air pollution, particularly in the places
suffering the most.
16

As shown in Appendix A Table 1, energy efficiency has two divisions: passive


and active designs. Where passive defined as the design that maximizes the use of natural
energy from the sun heating, cooling, and ventilation to create
comfortable conditions inside buildings, it harnesses environmental conditions such
as solar radiation. Furthermore, Passive measures do not include mechanical or electrical
systems (Design Buildings Limited, 2019). Wonoraharjo (2012) stated that passive
strategies used primarily to meet the demand for the thermal and visual environment and
carried out employing the design of the building envelope. In addition, Gönülol & Tokuç
(2019) defines active design as the active strategies that help to supply comfort
conditions when passive strategies are not sufficient. They need the power to work and
cause an increase in the building's energy demand. The active strategy is use for lighting,
cooling or space heating, and ventilation systems. On lighting systems, active design is
use to illuminate the room, especially at night. Also, to illuminating the room, lighting is
use for aesthetic interest (Sahid, Surjamanto & Sugeng, 2013). The option to combine
active and passive systems is a logical choice. Both systems can work together to realize
the expected comfort conditions.
Furthermore, the study of energy efficiency under passive design comprised of
natural elements that includes building orientation, passive cooling, day lighting, shading
and building shape, depending on how natural energy sources enters the building in order
to reduce energy consumption without mechanical equipment. On the other hand, the
active design also comprises natural elements that include the maximization of natural
energy, however, with the used of mechanical equipment. There are thirteen (12)
strategies of passive and active energy efficiency however, based on analysis there are
nine (8) strategies applicable on the project and on the site. These applicable strategies
are listed below.

Passive Strategies of Energy Efficiency


Building Shape
The first passive design strategies applicable on the site and on the project is building
shape wherein Raof (2017) mentioned that the shape of the building has direct effect on
the building energy consumption. The study analyzes the impact of the curved shaped on
17

the final energy demand by studying three different shapes. However, the application of
the shapes shows that the horizontal curved shapes is more suitable according to reducing
the amount of cooling loads for tropical climate depending on the result it can be said that
with having high curvature rate the curved shapes are more efficient due to energy saving
than rectangle with having the same volume and same building characteristics. The
building form determines the volume of space inside a building that needs to be heated or
cooled. Thus, more compact the shape, the less wasteful it is in gaining/losing heat. In hot
& dry regions and cold climates, building’s shape needs to be compact to reduce heat
gain and losses, respectively.

Building Orientation
According to Cairns Regional Council (2015) Understanding the daily and seasonal
movements of the sun and the wind assists in orienting a building for optimal efficiency
and comfort. Orientation concerns the position of the building on the site as well as the
arrangement of the spaces within it. In the tropics, a building should be oriented so that
the majority of walls and windows can easily be shaded from direct sun, while allowing
maximum airflow and input of natural light. Locate fewer openings on areas expose to
sunlight and ample openings on north, east, south, southeast because wind comes from
these directions.

Passive Cooling
Passive cooling as stated by Taleb (2014) is a passive design that responds to local
climate and site conditions in order to maximize the comfort and health of building users
while minimizing energy use. The key to design a passive building is to take best
advantage of the local climate. Passive cooling refers to any technologies or design
features like cross ventilation can be adopt to reduce the temperature of building without
the need for power consumption. Moreover, in-depth analysis shows that there is a
potential for reduction of the cooling load by 9% after applying these passive cooling
strategies. Total annual energy consumption could also be reduces by 23.6% in a
situation where the building used passive cooling strategies. Also, locate windows and
opening in north, east, south, southeast because wind comes from these directions.

Day Lighting
Electric lighting according to Ander (2016) accounts for 35% to 50% of the total electric
energy consumption in commercial buildings. By generating waste heat, lighting also
adds to the loads imposed on buildings mechanical cooling equipment. The energy
savings from reduced electric lighting through the use of day lighting strategies such as
sky lights and large windows/openings can directly reduce building cooling energy usage
by an additional 10% to 20%. Consequently, for many institutional and commercial
buildings, total energy costs can be reduce by as much as one third through the optimal
integration of day lighting strategies. In addition, the benefits of daylight building extend
beyond simple energy savings. For example, by reducing the need for electric
consumption for lighting and cooling, the use of daylight reduces greenhouse gases and
slows fossil fuels depletion.

Shading
Sala, and Carta (2013) stated that a well-designed sun control and shading devices such
as vertical fins, overhangs, trees and louvers can dramatically reduce building peak heat
gain and cooling requirements, and improve the quality of the interiors. The building
reduces the amount of annual cooling energy consumption from 5% to 15%.
Furthermore, sun control and shading devices also improve user visual comfort by
controlling glare and contrast ratios. This often leads to increased satisfaction and
comfort. Moreover, Kubba (2017) stated that in hot climates, exterior shading have been
found to work well to both reduce heat gain and diffuse natural light prior to entering the
workspace.

Active Strategies of Energy Efficiency


Solar Panel

19

The active energy-efficient strategy applicable to the site and on the project is the solar
panel system as shown in Appendix A Table 1. The Economic Times (2019) defines solar
panels as devices used to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into electricity or heat.
The sun is the main source of energy for solar panels used in the design. The solar power
system will start saving money from the moment it installed and began collecting energy
from the sun. The advantages of solar power are significant in the design because it can
be utilize during power interruptions. Moreover, solar is a safe alternative that can
replace current fossil fuels like coal and gas for the generation of electricity that produces
air, water, and land pollution. World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as the World
Wildlife Fund (WWF), stated that electricity generation from fossil fuels extracted
beneath the ground causes pollution of air leading to acid rain, damaged forest areas, and
affected agricultural production leading to loss of billions of dollars worldwide. Nuclear
power pollutes water and land and has caused environmental catastrophes however the
use of solar energy will eliminate these unsafe, unclean consequences of using
conventional fossil fuels (Kinhal, 2016). Furthermore, the study will make use of hybrid
solar systems, this system is the combination of grid-tied and off-grid solar systems with
utility backup power, or grid-tied solar with extra battery storage, the process in
collecting energy shows in Fig.2.This system is suitable in the site since the city often
experienced power interruption CLUP (2018-2027).

Storm Water Collection

Fig.3 Storm Water Collection


The second active energy-efficient strategy applicable to the site and the project is
rainwater harvester or water harvesting. Storm water collection is define as the storing of
rainwater during the monsoon season to use during periods of water scarcity. Generally
20

speaking, it is a process used for collecting and storing rainwater for human use.
Likewise, rainwater collection is best to describe as the technique by which rainwater
accumulated and stored to reuse it during the dry season or when there is a drought
(Madaan, 2019). Furthermore, according to World Atlas (2018), there are approximately
144 rainy days in the city, as shown in Appendix B Fig. 7 and Appendix B Fig. 6 with
247.7 mm rainfall depth during October, which caused water to run-off the river and
caused floods on agricultural fields as well as in low laying areas in Cauayan City. Rain
water collected from rooftops is free of mineral pollutants like fluoride and calcium salts
that may found in groundwater. However, it is likely to be contaminates with pollutants
in the air and on the surface. In order to prevent leaves and debris from entering the
system, mesh filters should set at the mouth of the drainpipe. It is preferable to use the
stored water for purposes like cleaning, gardening, flushing, and augmenting storage for
firefighting (Mareddy, 2017)

Insulation

Fig.4 Glass Wool Insulation

The third active energy efficient strategy applicable on the site is insulation as
shown in Appendix A Table 1. The Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN)
proves that Building envelope thermal insulation is a proven technology that contributes
to energy-efficient buildings where the primary contribution of building envelope thermal
insulation is to provide thermal comfort to its occupants. These support healthy living
environments and better productivity at workplaces. Furthermore, thermal insulation
21

reduces unwanted heat loss or heat gain through a building envelope. This, in turn,
reduces energy demand for cooling and heating of buildings and thus is a mitigation
measure to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. For naturally-ventilated buildings
in mild climatic conditions, roof insulation and west-facing wall insulation are the most
effective methods of preventing heat gain through the building envelope and thus have
better return on investment compared to applying insulation to the entire building
envelope. Moreover, Tasman Insulation New Zealand (TINZ) stated in the Design Guide
for Tropical Conditions that weather cannot be control; however internal environment
can control; this will achieve through installing insulation on building envelopes.

Incorporating energy-efficient designs on the development of the public market with


transport terminal will serve as a criterion on future development, which will inscribe a
significant impact on the economic growth in Cauayan City, Isabela. Also, the study aims
to minimize the use of non-renewable energy and maximize the use of natural energy.
.
BUILDING DESIGN CHARACTER
Appendix A Table 2 contains the analysis of five (5) possible building characters
of public market with transport terminal however throughout the analysis it is found out
that Kawayan is the prime concept suitable for the development.
Generally, the public market and transport terminal are public buildings that serve
as landmarks in the city. Thus, the design character has derived from its name "Cauayan,"
which comes from the Gaddang term “Kawayan" or bamboo. Originally, the place was
full of Kawayan or bamboo trees, so Gaddang tribes who were the first inhabitants named
the place after the tree (CLUP, 2018-2027). Furthermore, this type of tree can be found
only in the tropical or temperate regions having hollow stems, thick rhizomes, and shoots
for food; also, the jointed stem of bamboo explicitly used for building, furniture, and
utensils. Utterly, we have backgrounds about the characteristics of bamboo being
flexible, elastic, durable and resilient and so as the city of Cauayan, that is why it has
known to be the ideal city of the North because of its unstoppable progress and flexibility
that they make it easy to adapt from climate changes. The Kawayan will serve as a
building character of the development whereby the concept will be visible on the building
22

façade for identity and will serve as a landmark. Further, Goldstein (2012) defines
landmarks as the heart and soul of any place. Without it, a city would not be too
fascinating to visit. They may be ancient structures or modern buildings, or even statues,
and they are there to impress, educate, and inspire. Any city must take care of its
landmark, so it can preserve its past so the future generations can still see it. Moreover,
having a landmark always makes a community proud. It is sustain and spurs social,
cultural, and economic activities. It revitalizes its people and somehow inspires and
motivates them to do things for their community. Landmarks are usually steep in history,
so they made an excellent story to tell to children and visitors. Also, landmarks always
play a big part in attracting visitors, which promotes tourism, whereby one of the most
significant income-generating ventures of any place is tourism.
Furthermore, the study will use the Kawayan concept on the planning and development
of the project; it will also be adopting a fundamental concept that includes trees, shrubs,
air wells, and natural ventilation to preserve the efficiency of the structure.

Architectural Design Process

This section shows the design process conducted in the study of Cauayan City's public
market with transport terminal incorporating energy efficiency designs. It includes site
analysis architectural programming and different phases of architectural design, such as
concept massing, and design development.

1. Architectural Programming

For the programming of spaces, different areas have taken from different municipal
ordinances in the Philippines.
According to the ordinance enacting the market code of the municipality of San
Andres province of Catanduanes, the required spaces for public market are: bagsakan,
cold storage, dealer, ice storage, fish section, meat section, dry goods section, grocery
section, vegetable and fruits section, eating place section, live fowls and piglets section,
flower shop, cold storage section, feeds and other poultry supplies, poultry dressing area,
slaughterhouse; also includes facilities and sanitation such as garbage disposal area,
23

public toilets, service areas, market aisles, weighing scale, parking spaces, ramps, and
stairways. Furthermore, the additional areas provided by municipal ordinances of Baler,
Aurora are: Dressed Poultry Shop Section, Service Section, Variety and Rice Section,
Dried and Salted Fish Section, Material Recovery Facility (MRF), and Solid Waste
Management. Moreover, the municipality of General Trias in Cavite provided required
areas of public market such as: flower shops, general merchandise, refreshment parlors
section, miscellaneous and other special services. In addition, the additional required
space of public market in Dingras, Ilocos Norte according to municipal ordinance is
process food section. Other areas gathered from market code of the Philippines and
market abattoirs.
For the transport terminal the required spaces are: waiting area, queue line,
parking terminal, unloading area, eating area, public toilet, terminal management office,
baggage area, ticketing area and maintenance office. These areas are required spaces of
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) and Traffic and
Transportation planning. These area were adopts as a guide in planning of public market
with transport terminal as it shows in Fig.4 Appendix A.

4. Architectural Massing Concept


Massing influences the sense of space which the building encloses, and helps to define
both the interior space and the exterior shape of the building. The conceptual massing use
in the design process will be curved bamboo stalks wherein Study shows that the
horizontal curved shapes is more suitable according to reducing the amount of cooling
loads for tropical climate depending on the result it can be said that with having high
curvature rate the curved shapes are more efficient due to energy saving that rectangle
with having the same volume and same building characteristics. Massing of the building
block help achieve thermal and visual comfort levels if designed as per the climatological
requirements.
5. Design Concept
Space Articulation
The interrelationship of spaces should be considered to enhance flexibility and
accessibility between spaces. The groupings of the spaces should be plan according to
their respective functions. Furthermore, the design consideration of spaces conforms with
climatic conditions in the site.
27

Geometry
The Kawayan concept will serve as the interpretation of the name of the place.
Furthermore, emphasis will also incorporate on the design for easy recognition and
interpretation of the place. These will serve as a landmark. Also, balance and symmetry
will reveal the building mass; the balance of the development with nature.
Response to context
Passive and active building systems are strategies for energy efficiency. The
building integrates these strategies which are visible in its building envelope, also, using
LEED standards and green building code of the Philippines will consider attaining an
energy-efficient building.
Enclosure
Flexibility in the building's enclosure is a guiding principle in the design of the
building. Incorporating passive design, which includes proper orientation, building shape,
and insulation are needed to prevent solar heat gain but provide thermal comfort inside
the building. The enclosure also includes the building character of the development to
serve as a landmark to the city.
Systems
Energy-saving concepts such as photovoltaic systems and rainwater collection
play a vital role in energy efficiency. Also, installing a solar panel will lessen energy
consumptions; and rainwater harvester will lessen water consumptions;
Economic
The integration of passive and active designs on the design will cost a large
amount of money; however, it will provide comfort and satisfaction to the users, and in
the long run, the consumption of energy will lessen as well as the impact on the
environment.
Human Factors

The public market with transport terminal aims to be an inclusive development


that caters to all people from all tract of life. Furthermore, the proposal will provide
comfort and accessibility to the users. The adjacency of the site to residential areas also
requires the design to locate its areas in a manner that will not interrupt the adjacent sites.
28

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Through analysis and interpretation of the related literature and studies, the
determined strategies include in the study, which are passive and active designs of energy
efficiency. Based on comparative analysis under active design, the strategies applicable
on the site and on the project are; solar panels, insulation, and storm water collection,
while in passive designs the applicable strategies are: passive cooling, day lighting,
building orientation, building shape, and shading. These strategies have interpreted in
table 1, answering the first objective, which is to identify the strategies of energy
efficiency designs applicable to the site and on the public market with the transport
terminal.
Suitable building character has determined through gathered data. There were five
(5) possible building character of the project however the most suitable character for the
public market with a transport terminal is "kawayan" or bamboo from the name of the
city itself which is Cauayan. This will serve as a landmark of the place. For objective
number 3, analyses and interpretation of the finding in objectives one and two were
combine to create the public market with the transport terminal.
Moreover, this research highlights recommendations, including major attention on
the management of markets and terminal with proper maintenance, which will make it
successful. The integration of this approach will be new since the energy-efficient
building is not yet typical to the city, and incorporating it on the proposed public market
with transport terminal in Cauayan would give a genuine mark and influence on the
future development. Additionally, the study also recommends the transfer of facilities and
stalls that are not within the scope of the research to their designated zones. Waste
management in design consideration also includes since the public market and transport
terminal are a civil structure that generates many wastes, both biodegradable and non-
biodegradable. The non-biodegradable wastes are collect on the scheduled day while the
produced biodegradable wastes have recommended and delivered to MRF (Material
Recovery Facility). The facility produces an output of soil conditioner, and the bags of
fertilizers have sold to farmers at a low cost of PhP1.00 per kilo for them to use as
fertilizer for the local production on agricultural areas (CLUP, 2018-2019).

STRATEGIES DESCRIPTION ANALYSIS
Passive designs
Building shape With regards to building Applicable – to incorporate the best energy efficient
shape compact shape is building shape on the project. According to Raof (2017)
indeed better than the shape of the building has direct effect on the building
incompact which energy consumption. The study analyzes the impact of the
consumes more energy curved shaped on the final energy demand by studying
and the heat loss is three different shapes. However, the application of the
bigger. shapes shows that the horizontal curved shapes is more
suitable according to reducing the amount of cooling loads
for tropical climate depending on the result it can be said
that with having high curvature rate the curved shapes are
more efficient due to energy saving that rectangle with
having the same volume and same building characteristics.
Massing of the building block help achieve thermal and
visual comfort levels if designed as per the climatological
requirements. Building blocks channelize or obstruct the
wind flow; they also act as shading devices for
surroundings. Building blocks design and geometry can
influence the wind flow and velocity. Massing of blocks
can regulate the summer wind and achieve ventilation.
Building Good orientation of the Applicable – to orient wet sections and dry sections on its
orientation building can save suitable place. Placing wet section on southwest is ideal.
energy. Orientation refers to the way the building is situated on its
site to take advantage of climatic features such as the sun
and cooling breezes. This reduces the need for auxiliary
heating and cooling, reducing energy bills and passively
improving comfort in the parts of the building that are
used most often. According to Cairns Regional Council
(2011) Understanding the daily and seasonal movements
of the sun and the wind assists in orienting a building for
optimal efficiency and comfort. Orientation concerns the
position of the building on the site as well as the
arrangement of the spaces within it. in the tropics, a
building should be oriented do that the majority of walls
and windows can easily be shaded from direct sun, while
allowing maximum airflow and input of natural light.
Passive Cooling Approach to building Applicable – it contributes on the efficiency of the
design that controls the building as well as on the comforts of the users. Passive
32

heat entering the cooling is the least expensive way to cool a building. To
structure and encourages be effective, passive cooling techniques need to cool both
its dissipation. the building and the people in it — with elements such as
air movement, evaporative cooling and thermal mass.
According to Taleb (2014) passive design responds to
local climate and site conditions in order to maximize the
comfort and health of building users while minimizing
energy use. The key to design a passive building is to take
best advantage of the local climate. Moreover, in-depth
analysis shows that there is a potential for reduction of the
cooling load by 9% after applying these passive cooling
strategies. Total annual energy consumption could also be
reduces by 23.6% in a situation where the building used
passive cooling strategies.
Day lighting The maximizing the Applicable – maximizing day light on the building will
usage of natural sunlight reduce energy consumption. These are the design elements
` to provide interior used to bring in as much as natural day light as possible
lighting for a building. in the building: orientation, windows, skylights,
clerestories, light color walls and light shelves.
Furthermore, according to Ander (2016) electric lighting
accounts for 35% to 50% of the total electric energy
consumption in commercial buildings. By generating
waste heat, lighting also adds to the loads imposed on a
buildings mechanical cooling equipmen. The energy
savings from reduced electric lighting through the use of
daylighting strategies can directly reduce building cooling
energy usage by an additional 10% to 20%. Consequently,
for many institutional and commercial buildings, total
energy costs can be reduced by as much as one third
through the optimal integration of daylighting strategies.
In addition, the benefits of daylight building extend
beyond simple energy savings. For example, by reducing
the need for electric consumption for lighting and cooling,
the use of daylight reduces greenhouse gases and slows
fossil fuels depletion.
Shading, trees To reduce the solar Applicable – planting trees, placing vegetation or sun
around the radiation on the site. shading devices on south and west is ideal in order to
building Suitable shading can control heat that enters the structure. Shading of building
provide good indoor and outdoor spaces reduces summer temperatures,
climate control. improving comfort and saving energy. Effective shading
can include eaves, window awnings, shutters, verandahs,
pergolas and tree plantings which can block up to 90% of
the heat generated by direct sun. Shading glass is the best
way to reduce unwanted heat gain, however
33

inappropriately designed fixed shading can block sun and


extensive summer shading can reduce incoming natural
light, which in turn increases the use of artificial lighting.
According to Sala, M. and Carta, A. (2013). Well-
designed sun control and shading devices dramatically
reduce building peak heat gain and cooling requirements,
and improve the quality of the interiors. The building
reduces the amount of annual cooling energy consumption
from 5% to 15%. Furthermore, sun control and shading
devices also improve user visual comfort by controlling
glare and contrast ratios. This often leads to increased
satisfaction and comfort. Moreover, Kubba (2017) stated
that in hot climates, exterior shading have been found to
work well to both reduce heat gain and diffuse natural
light prior to entering the workspace. Examples of such
devices include light shelves, overhangs, vertical louvers,
horizontal louvers and dynamic tracking or reflecting
systems.
Active designs
Solar panels A panel designed to Applicable – according to the research, approximately
absorb the sun’s rays as more than half of the year is dry season in Cauayan city
a source of energy for that can be possible to collect enough natural energy to
generating electricity or supply the development. The energy-efficient strategy
heating. applicable to the site and on the project is the solar panel
system. The solar power system will start saving money
from the moment it installed and began collecting energy
from the sun. However, the advantages of solar power are
significant in the design because it can be utilize during
power interruptions. Moreover, solar is a safe alternative
that can replace current fossil fuels like coal and gas for
the generation of electricity that produces air, water, and
land pollution. Furthermore, the study will make use of
hybrid solar systems, this system is the combination of
grid-tied and off-grid solar systems with utility backup
power, or grid-tied solar with extra battery storage, the
process in collecting energy shows in Appendix A Fig.2.
This system is suitable in the site since the city often
experienced power interruption CLUP (2018-2027).
Nevertheless, the most common fact about solar energy is
that it represents a clean, green source of energy. Solar
power is a great way to reduce carbon footprint. There is
nothing about solar power that pollutes Mother Nature.
Solar power does not release any greenhouse gasses, and
except for needing a source of clean water to function, it
34

uses absolutely no other resources. Hence, it is safe and


environmentally-friendly.
Rain water Technique of collection Applicable – heavy rainfall always occur and it cause
harvesting/storm and storage of rainwater massive flooding in the City. The collected water can be
water collection into natural reservoirs or used for plants, cleaning and flushing toilets. The second
tanks, or the infiltration energy-efficient strategy applicable to the site and the
of surface water into project is rainwater harvester or water harvesting.
subsurface aquifers. Rainwater harvesting is define as the storing of rainwater
during the monsoon season to use during periods of water
scarcity. Generally speaking, it is a process used for
collecting and storing rainwater for human use. Likewise,
rainwater harvesting is best to describe as the technique by
which rainwater accumulated and stored to reuse it during
the dry season or when there is a drought (Madaan, 2019).
Furthermore, according to World Atlas (2018), there are
approximately 144 rainy days in the city, as shown in
Appendix B Fig. 7 and Appendix B Fig. 6 with 247.7 mm
rainfall depth during October, which caused water to run-
off the river and caused floods on agricultural fields as
well as in low laying areas in Cauayan City.

Insulation A material or substance Applicable – to resist solar heat gain on the building,
that is used to stop heat, putting insulation on building envelop will reduce heat in
or sound from going the interior of the building. The third energy-efficient
into or out of something strategy applicable to the site and the project is insulation
on building envelopes. The Climate Technology Centre &
Network (CTCN) proves that Building envelope thermal
insulation is a proven technology that contributes to
energy-efficient buildings where the primary contribution
of building envelope thermal insulation is to provide
thermal comfort to its occupants.. Furthermore, thermal
insulation reduces unwanted heat loss or heat gain through
a building envelope. This, in turn, reduces energy demand
for cooling and heating of buildings and thus is a
mitigation measure to reduce Green House Gas (GHG)
emissions. For naturally-ventilated buildings in mild
climatic conditions, roof insulation and west-facing wall
insulation are the most effective methods of preventing
heat gain through the building envelope and thus have
better return on investment compared to applying
insulation to the entire building envelope.

Biomass or Organic matter used as a Not applicable – it needs a spacious location. According to
biogas fuel, especially in a Big East (2008) typical biogas plants are operated with
power station for the agricultural, industrial or municipal waste. Thus, site
generation of electricity. should be located in a radius of less than 15 km from the
available biomass sources. If the available biomass is
mostly agricultural slurry, the maximum radius of supply
should be less than 5 km. however the site is located in a
commercial zones and the project requires a sanitary site
so that food will not be contaminate with bacterias that
causes disease.
Heat pumps A device that transfers Not applicable – According to Kalogirou and Florides
heat from a colder area (2016) Active solar energy systems can also be combined
to a hotter area by using with heat pumps for domestic water heating and/or space
mechanical energy heating. In residential heating, the solar system can be
used in parallel with a heat pump, which supplies auxiliary
energy when the sun is not available. Heat pumps are
mostly applicable on residential specifically for water
heating however the project is commercial and is located
in tropical countries which does not commonly utilize
water heater because the water is naturally warm.
Small wind A turbine having a large Not applicable on the site. High and expensive
turbine vane wheel rotated by maintenance. Also it needs a high air velocity. Because,
the wind to generate according to Haroon (2019) the first and foremost thing to
electricity. consider is the wind potential of the proposed site. The
windier the location is the higher the feasibility of
installing wind turbine. Furthermore, Level (2019) quoted
that Studies have found that average wind speeds in a
particular location need to exceed at least 6–8 meters per
second (m/s) for a small wind turbine to be economically
viable. However, the properties and characteristics of the
site does not meet this consideration.

Summary of Case Study on Energy Efficient Building
ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDING
BUILDING STRATEGIES
1. One Angel Square, Manchester’s One Angel Square is the 15-storey headquarters of
Manchester, United the Co-Operative Group
Kingdom  Heat recovery system that helps increase energy
efficiency
 Rainwater and greywater recycling systems
57

 Low-energy LED lights and IT setups; and


 Combined heat and power plant inside, provide practical,
cost-saving benefits. For its impressive eco-friendly
design

2. David & Lucile Packard The David & Lucile Packard Foundation headquarters isn’t just a
Foundation Headquarters, beautiful example of modern design, it is a leader in energy
Los Altos, California efficiency, known for being the largest net-zero energy certified
building in the world. Part of that efficiency comes from:
 Its effective use of daylight;
 900 photovoltaic panels installed on its roof;
 The complex is made up of 95 percent recycled materials
from deconstructed buildings;
 Equipped with a rainwater collection system that can
store 20,000 gallons of water, collected from rooftop
gutters, used for the smart-controlled drip irrigation of its
living green roof as well as the building’s bathrooms.

3. One Embankment Place, The Guardian reports utility bill savings estimates of £250,000
London, United Kingdom ($329,000) each year, but PwC has forecast even more savings
for this impressive structure:
 Electricity (-221 percent);
 Gas (-11 percent); and
 Water (-33 percent).
The super energy-efficient building has one of the largest tri-
generation systems in the world producing electricity, heat and
cooling in one process which has allowed it to slash its carbon
emissions by more than half.

4. Powerhouse Kjorbo, The new building’s energy consumption has been reduced by a
Oslo, Norway remarkable 90 percent, and it is now an “energy plus” building,
meaning it generates more power than it requires to function.
5. Manitoba Hydro Place, Manitoba Hydro Place is the most energy efficient building in
Manitoba, Canada North America.
 A 115-meter solar chimney gives the building passive
ventilation, while a double-skin facade with motorized
computer-controlled vents make regulating temperature a
cinch. Features like these allow the building to save over
70 percent more energy than traditional commercial
buildings.
58

6. The Edge, Amsterdam, The Edge is the "Smartest Building in the World." In addition to
Netherlands having a bevy of
 rooftop panels that help keep it energy neutral
 “Power-over-Ethernet” (PoE)-based LED lighting, which
allows network controls of the lighting and data gathering
via sensors integrated in the light units. Workers in the
building can regulate lighting in their individual work
spaces by using an app on their smartphones.
Smart lighting is just one way the Edge is connected to people.

7. The Bullitt Center, Seattle’s Bullitt Center opened in 2013 and has since become
Seattle, Washington one of the greenest commercial buildings in the world. The
epitome of energy efficiency, it derives 100 percent of its power
from renewable energy.
 Not only is the Bullitt Center naturally lit during the
daytime,
 it’s smartly ventilated to make it comfortable inside,
helping to increase mood and productivity.
 net zero energy,
 net zero water,
 net zero carbon,
 composting toilets,
 toxic-free materials,
 an enticing stairway,
 80+ percent day lighting using high-performance
windows
8. New Orleans A hub for biotech startups that aims to bring innovation and
BioInnovation Center, New economic empowerment to the area. With a design both elegant
Orleans, Louisiana and smart.
 The center captures rainwater and diffuses it to plants and
soils on site, and also collects AC condensate—up to
20,000 gallons per week—which provides all landscape
irrigation.

9. Empire State Building, The revamp cut the building’s energy use and expenses by $4.4
New York City, New York million annually, and within the next decade it’s expected to
reduce its carbon footprint by at least 105,000 tons. One of the
most daunting parts of making the Empire State Building more
energy efficient was replacing all 6,514 of its glass windows.

10. International The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)


Renewable Energy Agency headquarters is one of the most futuristic and energy efficient
Headquarters, Abu Dhabi, buildings on the planet.
United Arab Emirates
 In addition to an external screen that maximizes light;
while
 minimizing the amount of heat getting inside,
 The windows block 90 percent of solar radiation; and
 The building’s rooftop has a photovoltaic system
covering 1,000 square meters to help it produce its own
energy.
 The building also features solar thermal water heaters
which seek to achieve 75 percent of the building’s yearly
hot water demand.
The design elements of the building are expected to reduce
energy consumption by 40 percent and water consumption by 53
percent.
