control the electricity coming from the power supply. To achieve sustainable and

low energy consumption the study will also harness the energy from the sun
through the use of solar panels. For back-up power during emergencies, an
electrical generator will be on stand-by.

6.5.1 WATER SUPPLY
The water collected on the storage tanks will undergo a filtration system
and chlorination process to support the daily activities that requires water. Tap
water will be sourced out from the ground and will be treated via reverse osmosis
to have potable water that is safe for drinking. Up and down feed system supply
of water tank will also be used for different zones of the establishment.
Storm drainage will not be a problem since the lot is hilly. Water naturally
runs down to a creek present in the middle of the lot thus, giving the researchers
a natural means of disposing off excess water. Proper design of supporting small
canals or waterways directly connected to the creek will be utilized.
