Members:
The proposed single family dwelling unit is located along the Subdivision of Phase 8,
Heritage homes, Marilao, Bulacan. (See Figure 1). The house project has a total floor
area of 300 square meters. The two-storey dwelling unit will be wired with necessary
electrical devices and equipment with correct size and capacity, security devices, and
others in accordance within the Philippine Electrical Code of 2017.
The supply voltage to the dwelling unit is 230 volts, single phase, and 60 hertz, and
there is only one service drop in the dwelling unit. The dimensions of the rooms and
other areas in the dwelling unit shall not be smaller than the National Building Code
standards.
The project is composed of seven (7) different rooms with the following dimensions:
Ground Floor:
Second Floor
(a) The minimum sizes of rooms and their least horizontal dimensions shall be as
follows: 6:00 square (65 square feet) with at least nominal dimension of 2.00 meters
(6 feet 7 inches) for rooms for human habitation; 3.00 square meters (32 square feet)
with a least horizontal dimension of 1.50 meters (5 feet) for kitchens; and 1.20
square meters (12 square feet) with a least horizontal dimension of 0.90 meter (3
feet) for bathrooms.
(b) Every room intended for any use, not otherwise provided with air conditioning or
mechanical ventilation system as herein provided in this Code, shall be provided
with a window or windows whose total area of openings shall be at least 1/10th
the floor area of the room, and such shall open directly to a court, yard, public
way or alley, or water course.
All electrical systems load calculations and installations mentioned in this design shall
conform to the provisions of the latest edition of the Philippine Electrical Code and other
sections of the Code.
The following load calculations should be generally used in sizing but not limited to the
following:
1. Lighting Load
2. Receptacle Outlet/Power Layout
3. Air-conditioning Systems and other loads
4. Conductor Size
5. Conduit Size
6. Demand Factor Calculation
7. Overcurrent Protection Devices
8. Calculation of Voltage Drop
9. Short Circuit Calculation
10. Generator Sizing
A. Working Formula
To determine the coefficient of utilization, use the table below from “Manual of Practice
on Efficient Lighting”, page 361. In this case, the coefficient of utilization and
maintenance
factors were set to be 0.8. Then calculate the number of luminaires using the equation
below:
Where:
N = number of luminaire/s
W = width, meters
L = length, meters
E = illumination level in lux
T = number of lamp/s per luminaire
CU = coefficient of utilization
MF = maintenance factor
𝛷 = light output in lumen

1. In accordance with the rule of thumb in computing the cooling capacity of the air
conditioning unit, use 600kJ/h per m2 in the equation shown below.
2. After identifying the capacity of air conditioning in item 1, visit the website of
Department of Energy on the list of a certified room air conditioners. Choose the
nearest equivalent cooling capacity (at least 500 – 1000 kJ higher than computed
value in item 1).
3. Identify the equivalent compressor rating of the air conditioner in item B.
4. Based on the equivalent compressor rating in hp, get the equivalent ampere rating
based on table 4.30.14.2, page 370 of a PEC 2017. Note that the value of the ampere
rating will be used in the schedule of loads

Table 4 shows the different cooling capacity of a room air conditioner with a different energy
efficient ratio (EER). For the same cooling capacity, the higher energy efficiency ratio
(EER), the lower operating cost.

C. Calculation for the Right Size (Cooling Capacity) of Room Air Conditioners
1. Guest Room
4 x 4.90 x 600 kJ/h = 12760 kJ/h
2. Master’s Bedroom
4.90 x 4.60 x 600 kJ/h = 14,524 kJ/h
3. Bedroom 1
4 x 4 x 600 kJ/h = 10,300 kJ/h
14
4. Bedroom 2
4 x 4 x 600 kJ/h = 10,300 kJ/h
5. Bedroom 3
4 x 4.90 x 600 kJ/h = 12760 kJ/h
6. Computer Room
4 x 4.90 x 600 kJ/h = 12760 kJ/h

V. Installation Guidelines
A. Height of Various Outlets and Switches
The Contractor shall verify locations, heights, outlet and switch arrangements and
equipment prior to rough-in. The owner reserves the right to relocate devices as deemed
necessary up to 2.8 meters (9.2 ft.) prior to rough-in. All wall outlets shall be installed at
the following height (in meters) above finished floor level, unless otherwise noted:

i. Locations and Dimensions
Area = (5.0714 x 4.400)
The method used to determine and forecast the overall project costs is called a cost
estimate. Must first research to look at the most recent market price of each
commodity to examine the commodity to be utilized in the facilities in order to estimate
the Total Material Expense, which should be the standard in everything.
