I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT:
This activity will introduce to you the planning of a bungalow residential building floor plan in preparation
for electrical wiring plan based on Philippine Electrical Code standards/requirements.
Similar to a map, the orientation of the view is downward from above. Plan view or planform is defined
as a vertical orthographic projection of an object on a horizontal plane, like a map.
The term may be used in general to describe any drawing, showing the physical layout of objects. For
example, it may denote the arrangement of the displayed objects at an exhibition, or the arrangement of
exhibitor booths at a convention. Drawings are now reproduced using plotters and large
format xerographic copiers.
A reflected ceiling plan (RCP) shows a view of the room as if looking from above, through the ceiling, at
a mirror installed one foot below the ceiling level, which shows the reflected image of the ceiling above. This
convention maintains the same orientation of the floor and ceilings plans – looking down from above. RCPs

Floor plans use standard symbols to indicate features such as doors. This symbol shows the location of
the door in a wall and which way the door opens.

four-foot height above the floor level. A floor plan could show:
