environmentally friendly building

issue of global warming is still warm in all areas of life. Various efforts continue in order to constrain globe warming, climate change is extreme, and the degradation of environmental quality.
Not to clean up after arranging the environment, global economic crisis rocked back joints and our city life, including the property sector. The crisis that came streak and a barrage should be able to arouse our consciousness.
The architecture (houses, buildings) should be empathetic, responsive, and deliver solutions. One of them is to integrate the building (houses, buildings) that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly.



Bak is like a body, we need a diet to reduce cholesterol levels in buildings and making buildings more slender and fresh that can nourish yourself (pocket savings, buildings, occupants) and environment (citizens, municipalities) and avoiding social complications of stroke. For that, we need to recognize the issues and measures that can be done.
Development of energy efficient building and environmentally friendly to be cheap, easy, and have broad impact. Development of urban green (green city), the property green (green property), green building (green building), office / school green (green school / office), to the use of green products (green product) continues to contribute to reducing global warming and the crisis the global economy.
Law Number 28 Year 2002 on Building encouraging the development of local architecture building feels more environmentally friendly and in harmony with the environment of origin. Building design (green building) energy efficient, limiting the land awoke, simple layouts, space flows, quality of construction quality, materials efficiency, and environmentally friendly materials (green product).
Require green building design layout of buildings (10 percent), consumption and management of clean water (10 percent), electrical energy needs (30 percent), building materials (15 percent), air quality (20 percent), and breakthrough innovation (technology, operations) by 15 percent.
How big buildings (houses, buildings) to be built? Enough is enough. The volume of the building are kept to the cost of development, operation, and maintenance of control and more efficient.
The building was designed with the masses of space, open space, and outer-space relationships in the liquid, the terrace width, cross ventilation, and void tropical climatic balance that works for forced-air circulation and natural light evenly throughout the room to be energy efficient.
Utilization of alternative energy
To save on electricity consumption, we can use energy-efficient lighting, air conditioning maintains temperature at 25 º C, open the window blinds when possible so that the light, and turn off electronic equipment when not needed (not stand-by position).
Occupants invited to take advantage of alternative energy in meeting the electricity needs of a cheap and practical, and supported the development of solar energy technologies, wind, or biogas for building homes / buildings.
The use of local materials would likely savings (cost of production, transportation). Creativity is needed to design buildings made of local produce becomes more attractive, the uniqueness of local specialties, and easily replaceable and available from the place around. The combination of stone materials or brick for foundations and walls, walls of wood or modern gedeg (bamboo), roof tile, and terrazzo floors no less good with concrete and glass-walled buildings, steel frame and roof, and floor tiles, marble, or granite. Motifs and local ornamentation in decorative building also provides added value.
Utilization of waste materials or waste materials for building renovation can also produce beautiful and functional building. Sills, doors or windows, glass, terrazzo, up stairs and railings scrap metal can still be made, given a new touch, and reuse that can provide a new atmosphere in the building. It's cheaper and stay strong.
Building scale and proportion of open space should be noticed that the basic building coefficient (KDB) and the coefficient of green base (KDH), which ranges from 40-70 percent versus 30-60 percent woke up space for green space to breathe and absorb water. Whole or part of the roof of the building is returned as a replacement green space land used building mass at the bottom. Roofs of buildings developed into a park roof (roof garden) and wall crawl with vines (green wall) so that the air temperature outside and in the fall, reduced pollution, and increasing green space.
Global warming
The presence of parks and trees is important in anticipating global warming. Space in a building filled with potted plants. Green space processed into vegetable gardens and living pharmacy and planted fruit trees to meet everyday needs. Residents can maintain and protect the trees by adopting and becoming foster parents big trees in front of the street in front of the building (houses, buildings) us.
Ideally, rainwater can be absorbed into the soil by 30 percent. With so many buildings of concrete, asphalt roads, and lack of green open spaces, city (such as Jakarta) is only capable of absorbing 9 percent of rain water. Thus, during the rainy season flooding, summer drought. While the consumption of water from the taps only 47 percent, while the ground water reaches 53 percent.
Building should begin to reduce water consumption (reduce), reuse of water for various purposes at once (reuse), recycling waste water (recycle), and recharges groundwater (recharge) to the wells of water (1 x 1 x 2 meters) and / or leach pit biopori (10 centimeters x 1 meter).
All wastewater is inserted into the well water absorption with conventional treatment so as not to be overly dependent on the existing systems environment. How to use water-saving faucets are closed when not needed, do not let water faucets drip, saving water while washing hands and washing cups / plates, to select a dual flush toilet, always spend on the water you drink.
In the process of cultural trash, building provides self-contained waste treatment facility from the source. Occupants are invited reduce (reduce) the use of goods is difficult to unravel. Inorganic waste are sorted and reused or sold to scavengers. Organic waste processed into compost to fertilize garden plants. There is no waste is wasted (zero waste).
According to WHO (2006), 70 percent of the pollution in Jakarta comes from motor vehicles. Planting 5 trees only absorb CO2 emissions released by a car! And emissions per person to cover each mile traveled by private car is 15 times the bus. We need to reduce private vehicle use, switch to environmentally friendly public transport, car pooling, invite your colleagues the same direction, eco-driving. Fortunate if the buildings near schools, markets, or office, we just ride a bike or on foot.
We can implement an environmental management system starting from the home, school, until the office in a practical and simple to assist and support the creation of building energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, inspiring residents in the habit of applying environmentally friendly, help reduce the cost of the home, reducing consumption of natural resources, promote sustainable practices by raising awareness of residents, promoting ways of mitigating climate change through energy savings and renewable energy usage.
