Check list on recommended Site designs in the Philippines for an improved micro climate around a structure:

Reduce the need for cooling

Improve durability of building material (reduced rain
penetration)
Provide a better visual environment in spaces around
buildings
Encourage growth of plants
Facilitate open air drying of clothes
Shade space and windows from prolonged exposure
to the sun
Protect space and windows from glare
Passive cooling through wind flow (NE, SW winds)
Use vegetation for sun shading and wind protection
Consider surrounding area and local climate
Consider Site shape
Consider topographic features
Consider surrounding buildings which may affect
wind flow and sun shadowing
Orientation of Building
Long side of a building should be facing North and
South to reduce maximum sunlight exposure
While, Short side of a building should be facing East
and West to reduce maximum sunlight exposure
Minimize windows facing east and west
Consider sun shading when designing roof
overhangs

Use pitch roofing

Avoid designing high walls for fences to allow air flow
Consider use of green roof
Spacing between buildings
Location of open spaces
Form and height of buildings
Consider Tree covers
Check Ground profiling
Check wind breaks
Surrounding surfaces (paving grass etc)
Deciduous trees offer an excellent means of site
shading
The color of surrounding surfaces will have a
pronounced effect on the solar radiation available to
the building
Light coloured paving will increase the radiation
reflected from the ground into the building
Grass planted outside a building will reduce the
ground reflected solar.
Use of courtyards and water can also moderate the
effects of high temperatures on summer
Groups of buildings can be arranged in irregular
patterns to avoid wind tunneling
Coniferous trees and fencing and other landscape
features such as mounds of earth and hedges can
reduce the impact of strong winds
