Orient the faade of the building catching the morning sun along with the building elongated mass on the east-west to maximize the benefits natural light and air. The building will be self sufficient with enough power from BIPV systems an average of more or less than 50 kWh/m2/year (4200 m2 floor area, to accommodate at least up to 111 staff). Provides safety and security for pedestrians especially on a rainy season Will create natural landscape and vegetation as well as prevents surface soil erosion and sedimentation Own water supply to sustain the whole premise by the use of recycled and treated water

Building Orientation to maximize the use of natural light and air Incorporating Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BPIV) System

Passive Cooling Method Usage of Polycrystalline modules on the main roof that comprises of 47.28 kWp; The building atrium using a glass-glass semi-transparent PV modules with a capacity of 11.64 kWp. Interconnected elevated pathway/walkway linking the offices to other establishments especially to the public utility vehicles stops Usage of temporary vegetative buffer strips, mulching, permanent vegetation, temporary seeding and gravelsurfaced areas Underground rain/storm water collection facility, including artificial pond and lagoons that also serves as storage for excess water collected from buildings and roofs Usage of local materials that are environmental friendly i.e floor finishes with low toxin mortar, gout, paints with no or low volatile organic compounds, non-solvent adhesives, and so on. Usage of light roof frames materials; light walls and partitions and incorporation of plastic hingering system

Stilts and Bridging system

Incorporate control practices for sedimentation and erosion Storm Water Management

Solvent free materials to help keep air pollutants free

Usage of local materials that are environmental friendly

Incorporating special moment-resisting frames

The lighter the materials of the building is being used, the less load impact for vibrations
