environmentally friendly building

The concept of green building or green building trend is driven into the world of property development at this time. This environmentally friendly buildings have contributed to curbing global warming fix the micro-climate.
"The biggest point in this concept is to save water and energy and use renewable energy," said Rana Yusuf Nasir of the Association of Indonesian Building Physics (IAFBI), as one speaker in a panel discussion on "Global Warming-What to Do Real World?" Friday (24 / 8) in Jakarta.



According to Rana, access to renewable energy in Indonesia is still weak. Electrical energy supply to the property only rely PT National Electricity Company (PLN) which have not been using renewable energy sources.
In the United States, said Rana, the various companies supplying electrical energy with a wide selection of fuels, including renewable fuels. Developers who choose electrical energy from renewable sources will get the biggest points in the concept of green building.
Speakers in the panel discussion among Yandi Andri Yatmo (Indonesia-Jakarta Institute of Architects), Meiko Handoyo (Regional Leadership Council Real Estate Indonesia-Jakarta), Simon Molenberg (Director of Tourism, Real Estate and Construction Asia Region), and Stephen D Satriyo ( Property Management Association of Indonesia).
In many countries, for Meiko, the application of green building concepts proven to increase the sale value. However, in Indonesia still need a long educational process. In Indonesia even appear ambiguity that environmentally friendly building is expensive, difficult, and not feasible in the business.
"The manager of a building as large energy users now have the responsibility to reduce global warming in ways that save energy, water, fuel, and so forth," said Satriyo.
Activities facilitated panel discussion PT Colliers International Indonesia and Indonesia's PT Cisco Systems as well as to introduce the concept of green building benchmark Leadership in Energy and Environtmental Design (LEED).
According to Rana, the application of the concept is essentially an attempt LEED awards for environmentally friendly work or property that holds the concept of green building.
The concept of introducing 85 points LEED ratings are those that have certified, silver, gold, and platinum.
Efficiency
According to Rana, who is also the Chairman of Tata Expert Air and Refrigeration, the application of LEED for property development also requires absolutely some things, such as water use efficiency, energy use as a minimum, or efforts to protect the ozone layer.
Meanwhile, according to Rana, the owner or property developer in Indonesia until now no one has a LEED certification.
Some countries, like India, China, Dubai, and Vietnam, also had enough to apply the concepts of LEED. LEED certification was originally formulated in the United States Green Building Council.
According to the Yandi, education and the profession of architecture has been a tendency to see architecture as a stand-alone building.
"We need to expand the understanding of this architecture. Benchmark green building opportunities to put the building in the wider network, related aspects of climate, natural resources, social, and cultural, "said Yandi Andri Yatmo.
According to him, "Education plays an important role in the understanding of sustainability."
The main issues related to environmentally friendly building, said Yandi, among which are built only as needed and do not use more than necessary, adheres to the principle of association, as well as professional architects regard as a "steward of the earth" (steward of the earth).
Design strategies that can be applied, among others, added Yandi, the use of sustainable materials, linkages with the local ecology, the relationship between transit and housing, recreation and work, as well as the efficiency of water use, waste management, and promoting local conditions both physically and socially.
