Proposed Mountain Resort by John Paul Sagun

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1. 1 Background and Nature of the Project
People search for leisure places, escape from the everyday routines to gain extra
ordinary experience outside urban area with their real life habit. Tourist has different life
style in their everyday routine. The tourists tend to find something makes different in their
life, something that helps to remove their boredom, stress and other kinds of emotional
factors that affects their life.
A mountain resort is a place for holiday or vacation located in a mountainous area.
The Philippines as a tropical country itself, mountain resort are often visited for the cooler
temperatures at higher elevations, and the Philippines is home of lots of mountains.
In light of these complex issues mountain farm resort operators need to understand why
their consumers do, what they do in order to attract and retain their clientele and tourists.
Most every traveler meets the requirements of a tourist when traveling away from home.
The significant difference between a tourist and eco-tourists is that tourists travel
responsibly to natural areas. Eco-tourists are rated on targeting a specific demographic
based on the properties offerings.
While the study of Mountain Resort motivation is not new, Mountain Resort
Tourism research has lacked exploratory research to qualitatively investigate why tourists
travel and what tourist satisfaction will be considered and applied.
This study will provide a basis for future analysis studies and provide useful information
to Mountain Resort operators to find out more about the motivations of their consumers,
potential clientele and tourists, and the future aspects that may affect this project.

There are some examples that are related to the researcher’s project proposal to be
listed on the following:
Figure 1.1 Garden Area of Fuwan Villa
Fuwan Health and Leisure Farm, also known as the Fuwan Villa, is located at
the Depeng Bay National Scenic Area. The owner used to run a fish processing food
business but because of the dream of having a long-lasting manor, he returned to his
hometown and with the help from his two sons, one from the architectural domain and the
other from the foodservice management domain, he transformed an old fish farm into a
beautiful green manor. The transformation
is a huge project. The father and sons
spent a year making soil bricks, two years
building the green manor, and then three
years paving the stone roads.
Figure 1.2 Zipline Area of Monteray Resort
MonTeray is a combination of the couple’s first names – Ramon and Teray Pono
who own the resort, which was initially planned to be a vacation house for the family.
MonTeray Farm Mountain Resort in Pineamungajan, Philippines is a
ecofriendly resort and was founded by Teray Pono who owns the resort along with her
husband. Their son-in-law Wilson runs the place. There are lots of variety of fruits that
are planted and making it as their investment. Some of the fruits are mango, jack fruit,
banana, cashew, and papaya trees are part of the seasonal bounty. Monteray Farm puts
2
effort to produce healthy food and keep its guests not only physically healthy but
emotionally and mentally as well. They have naturally grown herbs and free-range
animals. You can enjoy the unique experience of picking your herbs for tea, juices or
salad.
The mission of the sustainable farm mountain resort is generally to be safe havens,
where the natural ambiance of mountains and its ecological state receive the best
approach in terms of conserving, protecting, for leisure purposes and to feel mountainous
experience and to help the local community for jobs opportunity and sustainable income.
The ultimate goal of the propose farm mountain resort is to promote sustainable
energy for protecting our eco-system and unite the advance technology design and nature
into a one collaborative sustainable architecture to create a comprehensive eco-friendly
structure.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The Philippine Islands are mostly hilly or mountainous. Volcano Mountains

characterizes frequently their topography. Almost thirty mountains in the Philippines are
more than 2000 meters high. They are here in the center of the consideration, simply
because they impress by their beauty, spectacular landscape prospects, their tropical
vegetation, large number of endemic species and their mountain sports facilities. We
speak here about higher mountains in general. The proposed Mountain Resort site is
located in Barangay Roosevelt, Dinalupihan Bataan and should be able to compete locally
with other Resort in terms of tourism, extra ordinary activities, using advance technology
and using sustainable design. The researcher must be focus on preparation for natural
calamities, and threats in terms of its physical site features, roads and pathways
infrastructure, replacing existing plants, trees and vegetation, route safety precautions,
upgrading the economic status of their existing farm and make use of the barangay of
Roosevelt topographically state and set it as tourist attractions, help to promote
sustainable design and job opportunities as well.

1.3 Significance of the Project
The proposed development, mark as a Sustainable Agro-Eco Tourism Farm

Mountain Resort that promoting the use of Green Architecture, fast economy growth and
jobs, tourism of the Municipality, and improving the status of current Agro-Farm into its
maximum potential state. However this study aims to explore why tourists travel and stay
all day at farm mountain resort. In fact long-term economic growth could only be
achieved with the sustainable use of environmental resource. This project compromise to
incorporate new innovations and new trend design enable to gain more tourist and
enthusiast for visiting through amenities, extra ordinary activities, scenic views, its
creative design, new trend concepts, vegetation’s, livestock and wild animals and the
ecological factor of the site itself.
1.4 Justification of the Study
Beauty of nature in mountains has long been a common theme in life. Mountains in
Barangay Roosevelt, Dinalupihan and Bataan has been depicted and abused by so much
people. Others people tend to violate the laws in terms of illegal cutting of trees, illegal
small scale mining and illegal hunting and pouching of wild animals.
Humans employ nature for both leisure and economic activities. The investment of
natural resources for industrial use remains a primary component of the world's economic
system. Some activities, such as hunting and mountain climbing, are used for both
sustenance and leisure, often by different people.
This research therefore attempts to look at its innovations in it natural form, what
it has to offer the number of tourist that will be visiting in the near future and as such
propose a standard farm mountain resort to accommodate the tourist visiting the place.
Propagate to protecting the natural resources of Barangay Roosevelt and the Municipality
of Dinalupihan. Using different new trend innovation and creative design is the key for
making a significant farm mountain resort. This project will help to boost the economic
growth of Roosevelt, Dinalupihan and Bataan.
4
1.5 Project Scope and Limitations
The researcher’s project scope is to develop and promote the existing natural
resources into an Agro-Ecotourism Sustainable Mountain Resort. The research will be
carried out in Roosevelt, Dinalupihan, and Bataan, where the plants, trees, livestock, wild
animals, different water bodies and scenic views are located. This study will provide a
basis for future quantitative studies and provide useful information to Mountain Resort
operators to find out more about the motivations of their consumers, potential clientele
and tourists.
The proposed project limitations are ordered in terms of further knowledge about
new trends innovation, engineering techniques and soil test experiment.
1.6 Objectives of the Study
The aim of the research is to design a biomimicry mountain farm resort where
tourist visiting the Roosevelt falls and different water bodies, different types of activities,
and a refreshing ambiance, can lodge so as to meet national and local standard, which in
turn will help to improve tourism and harnessing what nature has to offer.
The objectives of the research are:
1. To promote the essence of using sustainable architecture in our country thereby,

consequently developing the electrical conservation in barangay of Roosevelt.
2. To emphasize the conservation of our locally natural eco system especially in
mountainous areas of Barangay Roosevelt in Dinalupihan, Bataan.
3. To adequately harness the beauty and scenic view of nature in mountains through
properly applying landscaping.

4.6.2 Water & Communication Source
Water distribution in the Municipality of Dinalupihan is primarily administered by

the Dinalupihan Water District (DWD). Out of the 46 barangays in the municipality,
93% or 43 barangays are served by the local service provider. As of September 2015, a
total of 13,636 households are connected to DWD.10 There are still three (3) barangays
not covered by the DWD, namely: Barangays Maligaya, Payangan and Tubu-tubo with
an estimated total of 769 households.11 Other barangays obtain their water supply from
artesian and open wells, water pumps and public standpipes. Groundwater is still the
major source of water for domestic uses.
Communication. Digital Telecommunications (Digitel) and Bayan
Telecommunications (BayanTel) are the major providers of land-based telephone
services in the Municipality. Smart Communications and Globe Telecom are the major
mobile phone service providers operating in Dinalupihan.12 Data taken from the CBMS
results show that there are more households using cellular mobile phones (23.06%) than
telephones (2.65%) in the Municipality, implying that the residents are communicating
through the use of mobile networks. Data generated by the CBMS in 2014 show that
only a small percent or an equivalent of 9.06% of the total number of households in the
Municipality Dinalupihan have internet connection. Postal services are provided
29
primarily through the Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) currently located at the
municipal government compound. PHLPost has a variety of mail services to include
express posts (local and international), letter posts, parcel posts, delivery mail, collecton-

32
The Municipality of Dinalupihan was previously an old barrio of Hermosa. The
Dominican friars founded it on May 8, 1756. The legendary origin of the name of
Municipality of Dinalupihan was based on the event when the natives fought valiantly
against the Spanish Conquistadores and were never defeated through the use of force. The
place got known for the fighting spirit of the natives who were hunting animals and
planting root crops, and recognized as “di-nalupigan” or not conquered. The natives
transformed the hunting grounds and dense forested areas of the Municipality of
Dinalupihan into agricultural lands with rootcrops and palay as the main crops. The letter
“g” was inadvertently altered to “h” during the registration of its name. Thus, the town
with a fighting heart is now known as Dinalupihan.
The increasing population of the Municipality of Dinalupihan from the handful
families in 1756 led to the conversion of hunting grounds to agricultural lands. Its growth
surpassed the population of its precidencia, Hermosa. Historical documentation also
revealed that the Municipality of Dinalupihan originated from the festival rights of "Aeta"
pygmies. This is to honor the goddess of hunting and bountiful harvest called "Indianalo".
This term was matched with the Sanskrit word "jann", meaning paradise. Thus, the name
"Indianalopijann" was given to the land from the goddess recognized by the Aetas. The
name was turned into “Dinalupihan”.
5.2 Site Justification
The researchers proposed site is situated in mountain of Barangay Roosevelt,

Municipality of Dinalupihan, Bataan. The proposed site has its own characteristics in
biodiversity, the essence of natural beauty of the site and the scenic views are the most
focal point.

CHAPTER VII
DESIGN CONCEPT
7.1 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
“NATURE MEETS TECHNOLOGY”
Since the project proposal is located in mountainous area, the researcher’s

philosophy is inspired with different objects in nature. The use of indigenous materials in
architectural design and construction is appropriate for an area that has a natural
biodiversity and scenic views. Nature is a cultured matter while technology is a
systematical way of using advance techniques. When nature and technology meet with
one purpose, these can change our daily life into a more sophisticated and functional way.
95
7.2 DESIGN CONCEPT
“TO GO BEYOND LIMITATION”
Most of the Resorts in our country illustrate a typical design and structural
integrity. What the researchers aim is to create a new style of design and its structural
integrity by combining Bamboo Architecture and Steel Reinforcement and incorporating
Biomimicry Architecture, because of that the expectation of the Design Concept “To go
Beyond Limitation” is the key to create something different in terms of aesthetic and
structural design and upgrading to more functional, stability and resiliency.
7.3 ARCHITECTURAL STYLE
“BIOMIMICRY ARCHITECTURE”
Biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the
purpose of solving complex human problems; biomimicry in architecture and
manufacturing is the practice of designing buildings and products that simulate or co-opt
processes that occur in nature.
In order to mimic the conceptual idea of the proposed structure, the researcher
used indigenous materials like bamboo because bamboo has a greater flexural
characteristic to the point that it can achieve its maximum flexural span.
7.4 DESIGN OBJECTIVE
 To design a mountain resort using sustainable energy and food source.
 To design a mountain resort that considers the provision for the laws and codes of
disabled person.
96
 To design a mountain resort using indigenous materials and construction
technology.
 To design a resort that contemplates landscapes features.
 To design a resort that can withstand from storm.
7.5 DESIGN CONSIDERATION
 The effect of environmental hazards.
 Security and safety of the site premises, the employees and the tourists.
 Spaces for amenities of leisure and activities.
 Provision for persons with disabilities.
 Choosing non synthetic and nontoxic indigenous materials.
 Road networks, walkways, path ways and signage.
 Resilient design in terms of natural calamities that is inherent in the proposed site.
97
CHAPTER VIII
BUILDING AND ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEM
8.1 Power Systems
Electric power supply connections in the Municipality of Dinalupihan are

provided by the Peninsula Electric Cooperative, Inc. (PENELCO) which distributes
electricity to 11 other municipalities in Bataan Province. PENELCO gets its bulk supply
from the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Transmission lines that bring
power to the Municipality are operated and maintained by the National Grid Corporation
of the Philippines (NGCP). According to the cooperative’s website, PENELCO’s electric
rate is among the lowest in Central Luzon Region and delivers one of the lowest systems
loss in the entire Luzon6 at a rate of 7.797 . Other reports also show that PENELCO has a
95.79% collection efficiency rate as of December 20148 . The average monthly
consumption per residential consumer is 104 kw9 .Based on PENELCO’s status report
last June 2015, all the barangays in the Municipality of Dinalupihan have been energized.
8.1.1 Wind Energy Solution Power System
8.1.1.1 Wind Turbines
The project proposal site is located in mountainous area of Barangay Roosevelt,

Dinalupihan in Bataan. The researcher used Wind Energy Solution (WES) for primary
electrical power supply or sources. The use of wind turbines hybrid type with two blades
is assumed to locate in the highest elevated part of the site.
98
Wind Power
When green source generated electrical power, such as wind, below advantage
points are compelling.
 Minimize of using electricity and carbon footprint.

 Lower the cost for years to come and create an “Eco-friendly space”
for business
 Travels, be visible among the green resorts across the world
Benefits of wind power
Independence of energy: With WES wind turbines companies can generate efficient
power, which would make them less dependent on the grid.
 Strong noise control system
 Hurricane proof turbine systems
 Available hybrid solutions
Environmental sustainability: Wind power is a clean and renewable source of energy.

Owners of our WES wind turbines feel good about their role in supporting sustainability
and contributing in control of carbon footprints
Figure 8.1 Typical Wind Turbines with Two Blades
Wind generators need clean and sufficiently fast wind to produce electricity.
Clean wind is strong and laminar, which means it flows in smooth streamlines and is not
disrupted by nearby obstacles. Wind turbines begin operating when winds reach 8 mph,
achieve energy production capacity at speeds of 32-37 mph, and shut off to avoid damage
99
at speeds exceeding 55 mph. The energy potential of a wind turbine is proportional to the
square of the length of its blades and to the cube of the speed at which its blades spin.
Well-designed wind turbines are projected to last 20–30 years to ensure system
performance.
It is the goal of Wind Energy Solutions to remain the global market leader in the
growing market for midsize wind turbines. WES has completed wind power projects for
hotels and resorts over islands. These projects have been helpful for the hospitality and
tourism industry, both commercially and environmentally.
The key objective of wind energy solution projects is to provide:
 Sustainable power supply

 Low cost and progressive profit growth
 Low-cost maintenance and monitoring
Over the years, WES has developed sustainable wind energy projects for hotels &
resorts all over the worlds.
8.1.2 Off-Grid Residential Solar Power Systems
The proposed site is elevated from tall trees and the natural ground line of housing
properties in barangay Roosevelt, Dinalupihan in Bataan. It is very important to acquire
direct solar energy coming from sun. The researcher must take advantage the solar energy
in summer season so the researcher used solar panels for secondary energy supply or
sources.
Off grid systems are those that can stand alone. To be able to have electricity all
the time, off grid solar systems should be connected to batteries that store the power, or in
case of an emergency, a backup generator. In order to keep the system in good condition,
battery banks that store the power harvested from the sun should be replaced every ten
years. Aside from batteries, you are also going to need charge controllers, which will
control the current of electricity going to the batteries and prevent them from
overcharging. When the sun sets, you’ll be running on the power stored in the batteries.
An off-grid system is not connected to the electricity grid and therefore requires
battery storage. An off-grid solar system must be designed appropriately so that it will
generate enough power throughout the year and have enough battery capacity to meet
the home’s requirements, even in the depths of rainy season when there is less sunlight.
100
Figure 8.2 Off-Grid Power System of Typical Residential Layout
8.1.2.1 Solar Panels
Solar panels can be used to supply a building with all or just a percentage of its
electrical needs. Often commercial buildings will use a combination of solar panels and
electricity from the local grid. Some businesses choose to place their solar panels on the
roof, while businesses with a great deal of land may choose to place their solar panels on
the ground.The Solar Panel converts the sunlight into electricity as direct current (DC). Solar
panels are generally rated under standard test conditions (STC): irradiance of 1,000 W/m², solar
spectrum of AM 1.5 and module temperature at 25°C.
Figure 8.3 Solar Pannel
101
Figure 8.4 Solar Pannel Wiring Layout
8.1.3 Small Scale Hydro System
As the site is located in mountainous areas, it is also surrounded in natural water

bodies like falls, the researcher used hydropower system that allowing taking advantage
the water flow pressure of falls and other water bodies. This power system is more useful
in rainy season, because, the more the water flows fast and increased in volume, the more
the electricity power supply will harvest so the principle is it will lessen the electricity
consumption cost of the proposed project. The difference between hydro, solar and wind
is the variable tendencies of the latter; it’s not always windy or sunny. However, hydro
never sleep, power is being made all day long.
8.1.3.1 Small Scale Hydro Power System
A Small Scale Hydro Power System can reduce your need for fossil fuels helping
to reduce air pollution. There are many factors to consider when designing a hydro energy
system, but with the right site and equipment, careful planning, and detailed attention to
the local laws and permits required, small scale hydro power systems can provide with a
clean, reliable and maintenance free source of power for many years to come.
Depending upon the physical size, head height and electrical power generating
capacity, small hydroelectric schemes can be categorized into small, mini and micro scale
hydro schemes as follows:
102
 Small Scale Hydro Power: is a scheme that generates electrical power of
between 100kW (kilo-watts) and 1MW (mega-watts) feeding this generated power
directly into the utility grid or as part of a large standalone scheme powering more
than one household.
 Mini Scale Hydro Power: is a scheme that generates power between 5kW and
100 kW, feeding it directly into the utility grid or as part of a battery charging or AC
powered standalone system.
 Micro Scale Hydro Power: is usually the classification given to a small

homemade run-of-river type scheme that use dc generator designs to produce
electrical power between a few hundred watts up to 5kW as part of a battery
charging standalone system.
8.1.3.2 Power From The Water
Waterwheels and water turbines are great for any small scale hydro power scheme
as they extract the kinetic energy from the moving water and convert this energy into
mechanical energy which drives an electrical generator producing a power output. The
maximum amount of electrical power that can be obtained from a river or stream of
flowing water depends upon the amount of power within the flowing water at that
particular point. As the water is moving a hydroelectric system converts this kinetic input
power into electrical output power.
8.1.3.3 Components of a Small Scale Hydro Scheme
A typical small scale hydro power scheme, needs a stream, an intake system to
divert the water, a canal or channel called a penstock to carry the diverted water, a water
turbine or water wheel to convert the waters kinetic energy into a rotational mechanical
energy and an electrical generator to convert this rotational energy from the wheel into
electricity. The researcher used Pelton wheel turbine for small scale hydro powered
system.
103
Figure 8.5 Pelton Wheel Diagram
Figure 8.6 Typical Small Scale Hydro Power Scheme
8.2 Solid Waste Management System
A major problem facing municipalities throughout the country is the treatment,

disposal and/or recycling of sewage sludge. Generally, sludge from municipal waste
mainly consists of biodegradable organic materials with a significant amount of inorganic
matter. However, sludge exhibits wide variations in the physical, chemical and biological
properties.
The proposed site is located in mountainous area that has a significant natural
beauty and site seeing views, in order to conserve the mountains of barangay Roosevelt,
Dinalupihan in Bataan, the researcher use different approaches in waste management to
avoid polluting the natural eco system.
104
The primary goal of solid waste management is reducing and eliminating adverse
impacts of waste materials on human health and environment to support economic
development and superior quality of life.
As a society, we create huge amounts of waste. While some of them are
unavoidable many are not and generation of them can be significantly reduced. We also
need to ensure that our waste disposal removal techniques create the least amount of
environmental damage, thinking how? Here is some help.
1. Recycle
Start by focusing on waste separation; remember very often recyclable products

are mixed up with non-recyclable ones which can make separation quite difficult. Hence,
always ensure to separate the non-recyclable waste from the recyclable ones.
2. Reuse
Reusing the waste is directly linked to lesser generation of waste. If less waste is
generated, the process of disposing it becomes a lot easier. Consider recycling and
reusing items like, wood, metals and glass in your construction.
3. Taking Special Care Of Hazardous Waste
One of the best ways to get rid of that all the hazardous waste is to simply drop it
at the hazardous waste disposal sites. Hazardous waste should never be mixed with or
thrown together with general waste. Some examples of hazardous waste are paint cans,
bulbs, tires etc.
4. Employ Waste to Generate Energy
Even after reusing and recycling, some waste still remains, instead of simply
burying it into the ground use it to generate energy. Anaerobic digestion plants do a great
job here, they take care of anything that rots down and turns it into biogas and fertiliser
for farms.
105
5. Composting
This one has been gaining a lot of attention in common households, wastes
generated in kitchen in the form of vegetable peels or clippings from the yard are being
effectively put to use by allowing them to decompose in a compost pile. These piles can
be easily built in small spaces. A number of methods of composting are being used in
little to no space and worm composting are few examples. These compost pile leads to the
formation of compost which are quite helpful for the soil, basically, it makes it more
fertile.
8.2.1 Disposal or Use as Fertilizer
When a liquid sludge is produced, further treatment may be required to make it

suitable for final disposal. Sludges are typically thickened and/or dewatered to reduce the
volumes transported off-site for disposal. Processes for reducing water content include
lagooning in drying beds to produce a cake that can be applied to land or
incinerated; pressing, where sludge is mechanically filtered, often through cloth screens
to produce a firm cake; and centrifugation where the sludge is thickened by centrifugally
separating the solid and liquid. Sludges can be disposed of by liquid injection to land or
by disposal in a landfill.
8.2.2 Soil Conditioning and Fertilizer
Sewage sludge contains many elements essential to plant life, such as nitrogen,
phosphorous, potassium, and in addition, at least traces of minor nutrients which are
considered more or less indispensable for plant growth, such as boron, calcium, copper,
iron, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, and zinc. In fact, the sludge humus, besides
furnishing plant food, benefits the soil by increasing the water holding capacity and
improving the tilth, thus making possible the working of heavy soils into satisfactory seed
beds. It also reduces soil erosion.
Soils vary in their requirements for fertilizer, but it appears that the elements
essential for plant growth may be divided into two groups: those which come from the air
and water freely and those which are found in the soil or have to be added at certain
intervals. In the first group are hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. In the second group are
106
nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium and several miscellaneous elements usually found
in sufficient quantities in the average soil, such as calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron,
manganese, and others. The major fertilizing elements are nitrogen, phosphorous and
potassium, and the amount of each required depends on the soil, climatic conditions and
crop.
8.3 Fire Protection System

8.3.1 Spray Fire Proofing
Spray fireproofing (application of intumescent or endothermic paints, or fibrous or

cementitious plasters to keep substrates such as structural steel, electrical or mechanical
services, valves, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vessels, vessel skirts, bulkheads or decks
below either 140 °C for electrical items or ca. 500 °C for structural steel elements to
maintain operability of the item to be protected).
8.3.2 Smoke Detector
A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.

Commercial security devices issue a signal to a fire alarm control panel as part of a fire
alarm system, while household smoke detectors, also known as smoke alarms, generally
issue a local audible or visual alarm from the detector itself.
Figure 8.7 Smoke Detector COFEM with approved EN 54-7
107
8.3.3 Specialized Emergency Services
 Search and Rescue -Teams of personnel with specialized training,

communications systems, vehicles, and equipment to search for, treat, and rescue
distressed individuals and groups, and recover decedents. Examples of SAR
operations include structural collapse, confined space, vehicle, water, wilderness,
trench and excavation, machinery, cave, mine and tunnel, helicopter, tower, and
animal rescue.
 Public Safety Answering Points-Personnel with specialized training,
communications systems, and equipment used to receive requests for law
enforcement, fire and rescue services, emergency medical services, emergency
management, and public works assistance.
 Private Security Guard Forces-Personnel who provide operational facility and
site security to private sector and government facilities and operations.
 Military Civil Support -Missions to support civil authorities in domestic
incidents. The military provides engineering, transportation, medical, and aviation
support for a variety of emergencies, including natural disasters, CBRN incidents, and
structural collapses.
8.4 Security System
In order to secure the site parameters, the researcher proposes to install sensor
security system. These security systems help to maintain the peaceful life style, safety and
security of tourists and workers. It also needs to register the systems to the barangay
office and to the near police station so as to make a further response in case there is a
unwanted situation.
8.4.1 Radio Alarm Dual Signaling
Dual signaling is a method of alarm transmission that uses a mobile phone

network and a telephone and/or IP path to transmit intruder, fire and personal attack
signals at high speed from the protected premises to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). It
most commonly uses GPRS or GSM, a high-speed signaling technology used to send and
receive ‘packets’ of data, with a telephone line in addition. The option of IP is not used as
108
frequently due to issues with installation and configuration as a high level of I.T expertise
is often required in addition to alarm installation knowledge.
8.4.2 Closed-Circuit Television (cctv)
It is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a

limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly
transmitted, though it may employ point to point (P2P), point to multipoint (P2MP), or
mesh wired or wireless links. Though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term
is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that may need monitoring
such as areas where security is needed. Though Video telephony is seldom called
"CCTV" one exception is the use of video in distance education, where it is an important
tool.
Figure 8.8 Closed Circuit Television
8.4.3 Emergency Services and Rescue Service
Emergency services and rescue service are organizations which ensure public
safety and health by addressing different emergencies. Some of these agencies exist
solely for addressing certain types of emergencies whilst others deal with ad hoc
emergencies as part of their normal responsibilities. Many of these agencies engage in
community awareness and prevention programs to help the public avoid, detect, and
report emergencies effectively.
109
8.4.4 Location Specific Emergency Services
Some locations have emergency services dedicated to them, and whilst this does
not necessarily preclude employees using their skills outside this area (or be used to
support other emergency services outside their area), they are primarily focused on the
safety or security of a given geographical place.
 Lifeguards — charged with reacting to emergencies within their own given remit
area, usually a pool, beach or open water area
 Park rangers — looking after many emergencies within their given area,
including fire, medical and security issues.
 Barangay patrol — provides emergency medical care and rescue services within
their area, such as a mountain resort or backcountry.
8.5 Rainwater Harvesting System
The Philippines is located in Asia with two different seasons, summer and rainy
season. It is also a tropical country with rain falling almost half of the year. This is where
collecting and managing rainwater can be useful. The researcher also used rainwater
harvesting system for collecting rain and to be properly stored in tank or reservoir; it will
be used as tertiary water sources in rainy season. Rainwater harvesting systems require
some regular maintenance, cleaning, and testing to keep the system hygienic and in good
working order.(see diagram in figure 6.5-typical residential rainwater harvesting system)
The researcher used downhill gravity for primary water sources, connected to the
tank or reservoir, located on the upper part of the site. The secondary source of water is
coming from rivers and creeks near in the site, hydro pump will be used for pump the
water from different water bodies to the proposed reservoir located on the upper part of
the site.
8.5.1 Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting System
 Rainwater harvesting provides the independent water supply during regional water
restrictions, and in developed countries, is often used to supplement the main
supply.
110
 It provides water when a drought occurs, can help mitigate flooding of low-lying
areas, and reduces demand on wells which may enable groundwater levels to be
sustained.
 It also helps in the availability of potable water, as rainwater is substantially free

of salinity and other salts.
 Applications of rainwater harvesting in urban water system provides a substantial

benefit for both water supply and wastewater subsystems by reducing the need
for clean water in water distribution systems, less generated stormwater in sewer
systems, and a reduction in storm water runoff polluting freshwater bodies.
 A large body of work has focused on the development of life cycle assessment and
its costing methodologies to assess the level of environmental impacts and money
that can be saved by implementing rainwater harvesting systems.
8.5.2 System Setup
Rainwater harvesting systems can range in complexity, from systems that can be
installed with minimal skills, to automated systems that require advanced setup and
installation. The basic rainwater harvesting system is more of a plumbing job than a
technical job, as all the outlets from the building's terrace are connected through a pipe to
an underground tank that stores water.
Systems are ideally sized to meet the water demand throughout the dry season,
since it must be big enough to support daily water consumption. Specifically, the rainfall
capturing area such as a building roof must be large enough to maintain adequate flow of
water. The water storage tank size should be large enough to contain the captured water.
For low-tech systems, many low-tech methods are used to capture rainwater: rooftop
systems, surface water capture and pumping the rainwater that has already soaked into the
ground or captured in reservoirs and storing it in tanks or cisterns.
111
8.5.3 Application of Rainwater Harvesting
Agriculture
The risks associated with flooding and soil erosion during high rainfall seasons
would decrease. Small farmers, especially those farming on hillsides, could benefit the
most from rainwater harvesting because they are able to capture runoff and decrease the
effects of soil erosion.
Many countries, especially those with arid environments, use rainwater harvesting
as a cheap and reliable source of clean water. To enhance irrigation in arid environments,
ridges of soil are constructed to trap and prevent rainwater from running down hills and
slopes. Even in periods of low rainfall, enough water is collected for crops to grow. Water
can be collected from roofs, dams and ponds can be constructed to hold large quantities
of rainwater so that even on days when little to no rainfall occurs, enough is available to
irrigate crops.

8.6.1 Passive Cooling
Figure 8.12 Passive Cooling
Passive cooling is a building design approach that focuses on heat gain control
and heat dissipation in a building in order to improve the indoor thermal comfort with low
or no energy consumption. This approach works either by preventing heat from entering
the interior or by removing heat from the building.
Passive cooling works by:
 Using shade and insulation to keep heat out of your home in summer.
 Using heat-storing materials such as concrete to absorb heat.
 Using breeze and air movement inside your home to keep you cool.
Passive cooling is free, unlike air conditioning which is expensive to install and run.
114
8.6.2 Ventilation
Figure 8.13 Cross Ventilation of an tilt structure
Air movement keeps you cool by increasing the rate at which moisture evaporates
from your skin. You'll need more air movement as humidity increases.
You can harness air movement by:
 orienting your home to catch the prevailing breeze
 using passive ventilation to get air circulating through your home
 Combining passive ventilation with ceiling fans to direct the incoming cooler air
where you need it.
Passive ventilation uses doors, windows, opening skylights and clerestory

windows, vents, louvres and other openings to let fresh air into and through your home.
This helps to provide cooling, as well as removing moisture and airborne pollutants.
For ventilation effectiveness it is best to have a house design that lets air flow
easily from one side of the house to the other. If your house is built into a slope with
different floor levels you can open windows in the lower and the upper floor levels to
utilise the stack effect of warm air rising up.
Leave your windows open to let breezes through your house. It’s a good idea to
use security stays to prevent burglary (even if you’re home) and children falling or
climbing out.
115
8.6.2.1 Cross Ventilation
Cross ventilation (also called Wind Effect Ventilation is a natural method of

cooling. The system relies on wind to force cool exterior air into the building through an
inlet (like a wall louver, a gable, or an open window) while outlet forces warm interior air
outside (through a roof vent or higher window opening). Modern natural ventilation
systems help increase the flow of cool air coming in and assist the hot air going out. This
increases building air flow naturally.

8.7 Insulation
8.7.1 Thermal Insulation
Thermal insulation can minimize the use of expansion joints. An expansion

joint or movement joint is an
assembly designed to absorb the
temperature-induced expansion and
contraction of construction materials
safely to absorb vibration or allow
movement due to ground settlement
or earthquakes.
Figure 8.16 Thermal Insulation Material
Perhaps one of the most vital aspects of thermal insulation is the fact that it is fire-
resistant.
Finally, thermal insulation is easy to install, with no further maintenance required.

The benefits of thermal insulation
 Reducing the heating cost.

 Creating the condition of thermal comfort.
 Avoiding condensation to take place on building elements.
 Reduced possibility for moisture present inside the building elements.
 Protection of the elements of the building envelope from the intense thermal
stress.
 Reduced cost for heating or air-conditioning.
 Sound insulation achieved when using fibrous insulation material.
 Environmental protection.

8.8 Day Lighting
Natural light is a dynamic and ephemeral tool for expressing the quality of space,
whether it’s used in the diffuse
illumination of a museum gallery or as a
dramatic and variable figure within an
enclosed space. The formal and
architectural intentions of daylight
should be directly associated with the
evaluation of its quality.
Figure 8.17 Atrium (SkyLighting
8.9 Solar Architecture
8.9.1 Skylight
Skylights are widely used in designing daylighting for residential, public, and
commercial buildings. Increased daylighting can result in less electrical lighting use and
smaller sized window glazing (sidelighting), saving energy, lowering costs, and reducing
environmental impacts.
Figure 8.18 Tubular daylighting Device-TDD
118
8.9.2 Tubular Daylighting Device (tdd)
It is a roof-mounted fixed unit skylight element, condensing sunlight, distributed

by a light conveying optic conduit to a light diffusing element. Being small in diameter,
they can be used for daylighting smaller spaces such as hallways, and bounce light in
darker corners of spaces. TDDs harvest daylight through a roof-mounted dome with
diameters ranging from about 10 inches for residential applications to 22 inches for
commercial buildings. Most of that are made from acrylic or polycarbonate formulated to
block ultraviolet rays, the dome captures and redirects light rays into an aluminum tubing
system that resembles ductwork.
8.10. Sustainable Window
8.10.1 Low E- Glass
Low-E Glass is coated with a virtually invisible layer of silver that reflects radiant
solar energy while permitting visible light to pass through the glass.
Figure 8.19 Thermal Barrier Glass
Low-E Glass can either have a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (the best choice in
climates dominated by cooling) or a high SHGC (the best choice in climates dominated
by heating or for south facing windows in climates with a mix of cooling and heating
requirements).
119
8.11 Hardscape
8.11.1 Pervious Concrete
Figure 8.20 Pervious Concrete
It is made with little or no sand and generally uses larger pea gravel, so the look is
not as smooth as conventional concrete. it is available through most concrete suppliers.
Pervious concrete is an innovative building material with many environmental, economic,
and structural advantages.
Figure 8.21 Pervious Concrete
120
8.11.2 Open Concrete Grids
8.11.2.1 Turf stone Pavers
Greenery grows right through open concrete grid systems such as Turfstone.
Strong enough to handle vehicles
while offering excellent drainage and
erosion protection, open concrete grid
blocks are commonly filled with soil
and then planted with grass or a
durable ground cover. Turf
stone pavers measure 24 by 15.75
inches.
Figure 8.22 Turf stone Pavers
Turf / Grass pavers are environmentally friendly in another area, which is the grid
system. The grid system is made from plastic, and most companies’ use 100% recycled
plastic material in the production of the grids. Other grass pavers are made from concrete
material.
8.12 Structural System
8.12.1 Bamboo Architecture
Figure 8.23 Bamboo Architecture
121
Bamboo belongs to grass family and has been associated with various names such
as “poor man’s timber”, “Green Gold”,
“Cradle to Coffin” because of its various
documented applications. Bamboo is
widely recognized as highly renewable,
fast growing, economic raw material.
Figure 8.24 The Bamboo
Products from bamboo are grouped into industrial use, food products, construction
and structural application, wood substitutes and composites, and cottage and handicraft
industry.Bamboo is one of the best eco-friendly building materials on the planet. Its
rate of self-generation is incredibly high, with some species growing up to three feet
in 24 hours. Bamboo technically is a perennial grass, not a wood, and it continues
spreading and growing without having to be replanted after harvest. It is prevalent
around the world and can be found on every continent except Europe and Antarctica.
Bamboo has a high strength-to-weight ratio and exceptional durability even
greater compressive strength than brick or concrete so it can take a beating without
being replaced very often, which is not necessarily the case with other fast -growing,
sustainable items such as hemp. That makes bamboo a viable choice for flooring and
cabinetry.
Because it is lightweight, bamboo is less energy intensive to transport than
many other materials of comparable durability. A drawback is that it requires
treatment to resist insects and rot; untreated bamboo has a starch that insects like, and
it can swell and crack when it absorbs water.Bamboo products (bamboo boards,
bamboo veneers, bamboo mat corrugated roofing sheets, etc) due to their physical and
mechanical performance in terms of hardness, stability and strength are gaining attention
with large opportunities in emerging market. Moreover, bamboo has the capability of
mitigating climate change as it restores degraded land, act as carbon sequesters and
protects from soil erosion.
Technology advancement and initiatives taken up by the central and state
government has helped in the development of bamboo in construction and structural
applications. New technologies on jointing, protection and preservation of bamboo has
122
been developed which has increased its durability and quality and opened new areas for
bamboo as wood substitute. Traditional bamboo culm used in rural housing can now be
transformed into new and innovative bamboo based products with latest technology and
can be used in top grade houses in roofing, flooring, doors, windows, etc.
8.12.1.1 Bamboo and Its Uses
Bamboo has more than 1,500 documented uses, ranging from fuelwood to light
bulbs, medicine, poison and toys to aircraft manufacturing (Forest Research Institute,
2008).
The products made from bamboo can be broadly classified into:
 Industrial Use and Products, (paper and pulp, bamboo charcoal for fuel, bamboo
based gasifier for electricity)
 Food Products (consumption of bamboo shoots)
 Construction and Structural Applications (Bamboo housing)
 Wood Substitutes and Composites (Bamboo based panels, Veneers, Bamboo

Flooring, mat boards, fiberboards, particle boards, medium density boards, combinations
of these, and combinations of these with wood and other ligno-cellulose materials and
inorganic substances).
 Cottage and Handicraft Industry
This case study will focus on the bamboo uses as wood substitute and composites
as well as on its construction and structural applications.
Bamboo is useful for various applications at different ages:
 <30 days - good for eating
 6-9 months - for making baskets
 2-3 years - for bamboo boards or laminations
 3-6 years - for construction
 >6 years - bamboo gradually loses strength up to 12 years old
123
Figure 8.25 Traditional & Modern Uses
8.12.1.2 Curing Bamboo: Vertical Soak Diffusion
The Vertical Soak Diffusion method is a safe and efficient method to obtain well treated
bamboo culms.
8.12.1.3 Various Structural Shapes of Bamboo as a Building Material
Bamboos are treated in such a way that they assume desired shapes and structures while
they grow:
1. Squared cross-section can be obtained by compressing the growing stalk of

bamboo within a square section.
2. Arch shapes of bamboo can also be created by compressing the bamboo’s
growth into the desired shape. This would cost lesser than it would to get the same form
with normal timber.
3. Curved and Flat shapes of bamboo are achieved through traditional techniques
like applying heat and pressure.
8.12.1.4 Methods of Working on Bamboo
For a bamboo to be used as a building material, it must be worked on to create

desired shape, bend and length to be used for structural or other purposes.
124
Different Works Involved with Use of Bamboo:
8.12.1.5 Splitting of Bamboo
The bamboo canes are split into halves or quarter sections using a knife ideal for
the job and setting them apart by a wedge. About four or eight segments can be acquired
which are used as canes, strips or battens. Canes can be peeled to make strings and ropes
up to the age of 18 months.
Figure 8.26 Splitting of a Bamboo Cane
8.12.1.6 Shaping of Bamboo
Even though bamboos are naturally circular in form but if they are grown in a box
of square shape they acquire a shape as desired.
Figure 8.27 Shaping of Bamboo
125
8.12.1.7 Bending of Bamboo
Bamboos can be bent while they are freshly cut by heating them above the
temperature of 150° C. Bamboo will retain this shape even after cooling and drying off.
Figure 8.28 Bending of Bamboo
8.12.1.8 Bamboo Being Subjected to Bending

8.12.1.9 Preservation of Bamboo
A thorough treatment of Bamboo is required to protect it against insects and rot

before it is put into use. Commonly a mixture of Borax and Boric acid are utilized for this
purpose. Another procedure generally employed is to boil cut bamboo to remove the
starches that draw insects.
8.12.1.10 Use of Bamboo in Construction
In construction sector, bamboo is used to make all the components of building

both structural and nonstructural. Traditionally bamboo culms were used for constructing
housing in rural community, scaffolding and for constructing foot bridges. It was used in
different ways for roof structure, for doors and windows, walling, ceiling, man-hole
covers etc.
126
8.12.2 Bamboo Walls
Figure 8.29 Different Types of Bamboo Wall Construction
Figure 8.30 Interior Bamboo Walls
Figure 8.31 Bamboo Walls With Hanging Garden
127
8.12.3 Bamboo Trusses
8.12.3.1 Timber Pole Truss
Using timber poles for truss

construction has basically the advantage
of eliminating cost and wastage of sawing.
But jointing round logs is more difficult
than connecting sawn timber.
Figure 8.32 Bamboo Scaffolding
In addition, an even roof surface is difficult to achieve due to the rough nature of
most timber poles. The rough appearance of a timber pole truss is no disadvantage for
many rural applications and might even give a special decorative touch to buildings in an
urban context.
8.12.3.2 Bamboo Truss
Due to its hollow form, bamboo is relatively strong and stiff and lends itself easily
for roof trusses in the same manner as timber roof trusses. Bamboo as a local building
material can increase the local content of a house construction is therefore an opportunity
to increase the economic independence and self-reliance of local populations. However,
bamboo must be treated in order to increase durability and it is also not completely
straight which can cause problems for the achievement of an even roof surface. In
addition, structurally sound joints are difficult to construct without the use of expensive
materials such as steel bolts and plywood or metal sheets. These materials also reduce the
attractiveness of the truss as a truly natural element for aesthetic reasons.
128
8.12.4 Bamboo Column
Figure 8.33 Bamboo Column Section
8.12.5 Bamboo Flooring
Bamboo has been used as an

alternative for flooring because of its
physical similarities to true hardwoods.
Bamboo floor manufacturers and sellers
promote its strength, durability.
Figure 8.34 Manufactured Bamboo Flooring
Its eco-friendliness and natural resistance to insects and moisture are the
characteristics. The hardness of traditional bamboo flooring ranges from 1180
(carbonized horizontal) to around 1380 (natural), while newer manufacturing techniques
including strand woven bamboo flooring range from 3000 to over 5000.

8.12.7 Bamboo Roofing
Bamboo is one of the best roofing materials and provides ample sturdiness to the
structure. It is a proven shield against forces of nature or animals and are considerably light
weighted which makes them easy to install. The bamboo roofs encompass purlins, rafters and
trusses.

Figure 8.39 Bamboo Window Casing
8.12.9 Bamboo Foundation
There is very limited use of bamboo as foundation material because when in

contact with moisture laden surface they decay fast. However, this issue can be tackled to
quite an extent though proper treatment using appropriate chemicals.
The various types of foundations constructed with bamboo are:
a) Bamboo which is in direct contact with ground surface.
b) Bamboo fixed to rock or preformed concrete footings
c) Composite bamboo or concrete columns
d) Bamboo piles
Figure 8.40 Bamboo Foundation
132
8.12.10 Advantages of Bamboo as a Building Material
The various advantages of bamboo are as mentioned below:
1. Tensile strength: Bamboo has higher tensile strength than steel because its fibers
run axially.
2. Fire Resistance: Capability of bamboo to resist fire is very high and it can
withstand temperature up to 4000 C. This is due to the presence of high value of silicate
acid and water.
3. Elasticity: Bamboo is widely preferred in earthquake prone regions due to its
elastic features.
4. Weight of bamboo: Bamboos due to their low weight are easily displaced or
installed making it very easier for transportation and construction.
5. Unlike other building materials like cement and asbestos, bamboo poses no danger
to health.
6. They are cost effective and easy to use.
7. They are especially in great demand in earthquake prone areas.
8.12.11 Stone and Concrete Piers Foundation
Figure 8.41 Concrete and Stone Pier
Pier foundations are unlike more conventional concrete footings and walls in that
they support structural loads at a number of distinct points, not continuously.
133
Figure 8.42 Stone Foundation
Pier foundations can be as simple as concrete-filled cardboard tubes dropped into

hand-dug holes. But more complex foundations incorporating very deep piers or helical
screws can support much greater loads.
8.12.12 Sag Rod
Sag Rod is a rod for preventing the sagging of an open-web steel joist that is used as
a purlin with its depth at right angles to a roof slope.
Figure 8.43 Sag rod
134
8.12.13 Interlocking Connection
Interlocking connections are achieved by gluing or shedding connection elements

in or around the bamboo poles. We can apply either woodcore connection or metal anchor
technique to build interlocking connection. Figure 8.43 illustrates a metal connection of
six bamboo poles in different directions.
Figure 8.44 Interlocking Connection with Metal Anchorage Technique
Figure 8.45 Bamboo & Steel Connection
8.13 Mechanical System
8.13.1 Garage Door (Manual)
A garage door is a large door on a garage that opens either manually or by an

electric motor (a garage door opener). Garage doors are frequently large enough to
accommodate automobiles and other vehicles. Larger doors are usually made in several
jointed panels that roll up on tracks across the garage ceiling, or into a roll above the
135
doorway. The operating mechanism is spring-loaded or counterbalanced to offset the
weight of the door and reduce human or motor effort required to operate the door. It is use
for covering the structure from prevailing wind.

CHAPTER IX
FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
9.1 Findings
Based on the findings of this research, the proposed mountain farm resort rates
highly as an eco-resort, however, this can only be maintained so long as the owners and
management continue to pursue best practice policies of sustainability. While the
remarkable accomplishments of the proposed project can serve as an example for other
start-up eco-resorts, the property itself is still in its beginning, with much opportunity to
grow.
The general characteristics pertaining to it’s over all concept is based on
conserving the existing natural features of the site project proposal. The researcher tends
to relate what the site must be really needs and giving it a concrete and ecofriendly
solutions based on the laws and codes. In terms of design features in overall site the
researcher recognized the provision for disabled persons. The researcher also considered
the effect of environmental hazards in the surroundings.
9.2 Conclusion
The conclusion is based on how the researcher applied those principles in terms of
designing mountain resort and the conservation of the site features. These matters are
important to be properly managed for future development and suitability of the project
within its surroundings and municipality.
This proposed project stands feasible because the localities in Barangay Roosevelt
are improving the site itself into an agro-ecotourism site and providing it a future design
plan for the site.
137
9.3 Recommendations
The overall recommendations in the proposed design plan must be conducting a

brief study about the building construction and the resiliency and efficiency of materials
for each structure. It includes the provision for disabled person, the site itself must include
signage or guide materials for tourists and employees.
The existing physical features must be conserved and protected from
environmental hazards. Rules and regulations for the selected site must be determined. It
should be considered for an effective design output and to avoid problems that may
encounter.
