MAABA, ANSBERT T. AND MANGANA, ADRIAN JAKE L. A Descriptive study of Vernacular Ventilation System of Casa Mestiza in Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Architecture. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May 2017. Adviser: Architect Arsol S. Arcilla.
The study was conducted to describe the vernacular ventilation system of Casa Mestiza in Cavite. The primary data used in the study were gathered through interviews and on-site documentation with the owners of the Casa Mestiza in Cavite from August 2016 to May 2017.
The authors have identified most of the Casa Mestiza in Cavite were transitional houses; from geometric to floral style Casa Mestiza.
On-site investigation revealed that the most common vernacular ventilation system of Casa Mestiza in Cavite was concha window while both persiana and soffit vent were minimal in use.
The building analysis revealed that houses that were built before 1930's have Spanish influences in room planning while the rest have American influences. The authors presented the analysis through the use of air flow diagrams.
The average window size of Casa Mestiza in Cavite provided adequate and efficient ventilation for the interiors. The opening provided by the ventanilla also increased the amount of fresh air entering the interior. When compared to the existing Philippine standard for window opening, technically, the houses met the 10% minimum requirement.
The authors presented these findings through floor plans, elevation drawings, and tables.
