A PROPOSED ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN 1

OF BALIWAG PUBLIC MARKET IN BULACAN

Introduction
Public market is widely known as the center for selling of different kinds of goods and

products at a very low and affordable price. In the Philippines, public markets provide an active

public space for trade and commerce until this present time. (Nedic, A., 2012)

For many years, public markets in the Philippines are flourishing in urban and rural

economies. Therefore, it encourages developments in such areas and contributes towards keeping

money in the local vicinity and industries. It also offers business opportunities for entrepreneurs

and bring back the money into rural economy where many traders grow, raise and produce their

products.

However, public markets in the Philippines are often perceived to be foul ventilated and

have an unclean environment. These conditions of public markets lead to the construction of

modernized malls that cater supermarkets which are commonly fully air-conditioned and promotes

convenience to people. Thus, supermarkets take advantage to attract more shoppers who like to

buy goods in public markets which leads to its rapid popularity.

Nonetheless, public markets still hold a critical role in promoting public health and local

food systems. Many of the agricultural, fishery and forestry products are delivered into public

markets by various traders from different parts of the country. (Redevelopment of City of San

Fernando Public Market in Pampanga, 2012)

Bulacan, as one of the neighboring provinces of Metro Manila, serves as a haven in

business and investments. Enterprises continue to spring and prosper in the province which offers

a wide variety of high-quality products from vast scope of industries that are easily accessible.

OF BALIWAG PUBLIC MARKET IN BULACAN

The Baliwag Public Market is one of the largest market in Bulacan. It is classified as a

public market since it is owned and operated by the city local government intended to extend the

service to the public with their daily needs. It is different from other public markets throughout the

country; aside from its primary function as a typical public market, it also serves as the trading

center for both producers and consumers where bulk fresh trades are delivered and sold.

Accordingly, it became a food terminal where goods and products from other regions and

bordering provinces are also being sold in a wholesale basis.

Today, the Baliwag Public Market is in the stage wherein its physical condition and

merchant image are becoming worse, affecting its efficiency and functional relevance, which

resulted to an unhealthy and unpleasant environment. This study seeks to accomplish a structural

design that focuses on uplifting the image and environment of the center of local trade and business

for the benefit of the town especially of its people-- the fellow Baliwageños; especially nowadays

that public markets also seems to be one of the basis of a town's status quo.

The Presidential Decree 1096 signed on June 25, 2016 introduce the green building design

to the construction of structures in the Philippines. The provisions, requirements and standards of

GB Code can be applied to the public market that will maximize the efficiency.

The Philippines is one of the most impacted nation experiencing climate change due to its

long coastline and dependence on agriculture. The Climate Change Act of 2009 consider buildings

as energy consumer and cause greenhouse gas emissions and provides standards to reduce energy

in new building construction and operation.

The codes and decrees in the Philippines set parameters to maximize the efficiency of

structures and safety of the people. In compliance of the existing codes and decrees, structures for

public market should provide its maximum capacity as center of local trade and business.

Review of Related Literature

Relationship of Public Market in Conjunction to the Economic Growth

According to Senate Bill No. 279, “Public Markets is vital economic enterprises and public

utilities, which contribute significantly to the income and general welfare of cities and

municipalities. They provide increased livelihood opportunities and marketing services, and are

usually standard barometers for the level of development of local governments.”

The public market must effectively provide the facility and personnel enumerated by the

National Market Code of the Philippines as concerned the following: sanitation, safety and

security, service area, award and occupancy of stalls, collection and use of market fees, special

market, restriction and administration.

“Public markets are unique economic and social institutions which are increasingly being

viewed as tools to achieve a wide variety of goals. These goals include improved access to quality

food, better marketing opportunities for family of farmers, improving social interaction in urban

neighborhoods, increasing social cohesion, providing employment opportunities to local

communities, creating entrepreneurial environment to increase small business formation, and

enhancing community economic development. These are fairly high hopes for the relatively simple

market institution, with small businesses that continuously compete for survival.” (EConsult,

2007)

For public markets to provide the benefits discussed above, they first must be economically

sustainable, and this often requires some form of external financial support. A key issue in

obtaining public and other funding for public markets is whether the markets can demonstrate that

BALIUAG UNIVERSITY College of Environmental Design and Engineering

A PROPOSED ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN 10
OF BALIWAG PUBLIC MARKET IN BULACAN

they deliver economic benefits to the community. (Estimating the Economic Impact of Public

Market)

To deliver the benefits of the public market to the economy it must provide its purpose to

give convenience and have the qualities to be successful. The qualities of a successful market are

right vendor, right location, right mix, right mission, right public spaces, right connections, right

economics, right promotion, right value, and right management. (David O’Neil, Ten Qualities of

Successful Public Market)

Factors to Consider in Establishment and Site of Public Market

The Senate Bill No. 279 also known as National Market Code of the Philippines states the

factors to be considered in site, establishment and sanitation of the local public market.

The site and establishment of a local public market is under Section 5-7. The Bill covered

the rules and regulation to be imposed on the construction of public market. The Section 5 - 6 of

the bill states that “No public market of any kind shall be established except on sites determined

in accordance with the National Building Code, zoning laws, and applicable local ordinances. In

any case no such public market shall be established beside a national or local road if it is deemed

to cause traffic congestion due to the absence of ample parking spaces within the vicinity of the

market area. The design and construction of every public market shall be in accordance with the

provisions of existing laws.”

Service Area or Facilities of Public Market

Storage Areas. Storage facilities such as those intended for ice and cold storage shall be

appropriately situated to facilitate efficient storage and distribution of ice and perishable goods

delivered to the market. (Sec. 28)

BALIUAG UNIVERSITY College of Environmental Design and Engineering

A PROPOSED ENERGY EFFICIENT DESIGN 11
OF BALIWAG PUBLIC MARKET IN BULACAN

Ramps and Stairways. Ramps shall be strategically located for purposes of visibility, near the

approach points to the market structure, and shall conform to the provisions of the existing

accessibility law which requires buildings, institutions, establishment and public utilities to install

facilities and other devices to enhance the mobility of disabled persons. They shall provide

convenient linkages to related functional market activities. Regular stairways shall complement

the market system. (Sec. 29)

Market Aisles. To facilitate mobility, security and safety at all times, market aisles shall be free

from any obstructions. Market officials and personnel and policemen detailed in the vicinity of the

city/municipal markets shall exercise strict vigilance regarding this matter and enjoin strict

compliance with these provisions. (Sec. 30)

Sanitation

According to the United Nations Water, sanitation is defined by professionals as the mean

of promoting and improving the health and hygiene of the people. This includes the

implementation of systems for proper management of human wastes, solid wastes, industrial waste

products and hazardous wastes and drainage for wastewater and storm water.

Promoting health and safety for each stallholder, personnel and consumer through proper

sanitation is a must for every market building. The Code on Sanitation of the Philippines (P.D.

856) follows procedures and regulations to provide good sanitary practices for market buildings.

”All markets and their premises must at all times be kept clean and in sanitary condition to

safeguard the health and safety of the buying public as well as the stall owners, vendors and market

personnel. Facilities for sanitation and maintenance, such as cleaning and elimination of

harborages of vermin shall be provided.” (Sec. 8, National Market Code of the Philippines)

Solid Waste Disposal

Temporary storages or collection points are spaces to facilitate containment of solid waste

prior to recovery by the municipal collection service. To accommodate the collection service, the

size and space are designed to be efficient. The storage must not come in contact with any run-off

to prevent any leachate (Philippine Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000).

Electrical Illumination Requirements

The outdoor light level is approximately 10,000 lux on a clear day. In the building, in the

area closest to windows, the light level may be reduced to approximately 1,000 lux. In the middle

area it may be as low as 25 - 50 lux. Additional lighting equipment is often necessary to compensate

the low levels.

Earlier it was common with light levels in the range 100 - 300 lux for normal activities.

Today the light level is more common in the range 500 - 1000 lux - depending on activity. For

precision and detailed works, the light level may even approach 1500 - 2000 lux.

Design of Three-Storey Green School Building with Optimized Perimeter Special Moment

Resisting Frames

The Design of Three-Storey Green School Building with Optimized Perimeter Special

Moment Resisting Frames research conducted in Mapúa Institute of Technology considered design

norms: safety, economy, technology and environment. Green design is considered as a big

innovation on the engineering industry, which helps to solve different environmental problems.

The project covered the major areas of engineering; Structural Engineering, Geotechnical

Engineering and Environmental Engineering. The design structure of the study showcases green

engineering. The design features green engineering application which is the use of day lighting,

solar panels, and green roof.

The structure exhibits architectural design with mostly composed of glass facades and

claddings that will maximize the advantage of using sunlight as an alternative source of light to

structures. With the use of day lighting, the structure will minimize the use of electricity for

lighting. The walls of the building will be filled with tinted glass to allow sunlight pass through

the classrooms and facilities during daytime.

For the computations of the cost benefit analysis of day lighting applied to the structure

using nomograph tool, the researchers first define the several parameters that is to be utilized.

These parameters include: Latitude of the project location, Daily Occupancy Schedule, Annual

Daylight Hours, Light Control Type, Illumination Level, Useful Window Ratio, Glazing Visible

Transmittance, Effective Apperture, Depth of Daylighted Zone, Daylit Area and Control

Effectiveness, Potential Energy Savings due to day light, Installed Lighting Load and Annual

Hours of Occupancy. These parameters are defined one after the other using nomographs. The

design, placement, sizing and orientations of glass facades and claddings, and the use of glasses

with 60 fc illumination level and 60% glazing visible transmittance, the structure saves 1/6 or

16.67 % of its annual electric consumption cost for lighting in a 12 hour daily occupancy. Good

lighting takes some basic lighting design principles, knowledge of the equipment and the

confidence to put these principles into practice.

Layouts that balance task, ambient and decorative (accent) lighting

Reflected light from walls and ceiling expands illumination, reduces glare and enhance space.

Task light is essential for best performance

Light is reflected off surfaces. By selecting surface colors and finishes carefully, lighting can

be improved immensely.

Controlling daylight can affect and enhance interior light quality.

Avoid glares at lighting by shielding light sources, selecting appropriate fixtures and locating

them carefully. (Espares, JR; Mayuga, A; Monderin, AC., 2014)
