Due to rapid growth of population in the Philippines there is a need for development to cater the rapid growth. Having said, Urbanization has distorted the heat balance of the cities in urban areas thus supporting the phenomenon of urban heat island. What causes this are the materials utilized in the development of structures and foundations, and the absence of trees, vegetation green spaces which influence the dispersion and ingenuity of warmth in a city. Warmer temperatures increase energy consumption, emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases, impair water quality, and compromise human health and comfort.
