With this study, quality designed and cost-effective residential structures will be developed. Thus, giving the occupants the comfort and satisfaction they need in their everyday lives. The microclimates of three areas of the city (urban area, urban fringe, and rural hinterlands) were established thru existing climatological data, land use maps, vegetative maps, and topographical maps. Analysis of the established microclimates for the three areas showed that the City Proper has the warmest ambient temperature (average 27.9 C) and the rural hinterland the coolest (average 22.6 C). Humidity levels for the three areas all averaged at 81 %. The feeling of discomfort is mainly attributed to heat and high humidity levels. Applying passive design principles, microclimate elements were either modified or adopted to achieve the best use of the design elements so as to provide comfort and energy efficiency.

This paper presents a microclimate-based design guidelines for residential development within Davao City. With this study, quality designed and cost-effective residential structures will be developed. Thus, giving the occupants the comfort and satisfaction they need in their everyday lives. The microclimates of three areas of the city (urban area, urban fringe, and rural hinterlands) were established thru existing climatological data, land use maps, vegetative maps, and topographical maps. Analysis of the established microclimates for the three areas showed that the City Proper has the warmest ambient temperature (average 27.9 C) and the rural hinterland the coolest (average 22.6 C). Humidity levels for the three areas all averaged at 81 %. The feeling of discomfort is mainly attributed to heat and high humidity levels.
