GREEN BUILDING

Concept of green buildings is becoming a trend for the development of the property world
today. This environmentally friendly building has contributed curb global warming by
improving the microclimate. Environmentally friendly building include implementing 3R
(Reuse, Reduce, Recycle). Operational support building energy savings, including the
application of recycling technologies (recycled), reuse and reinvestment of the raw materials
that can not be recycled.
On a scale business, eco-friendly properties of which are reflected in the design of the
building, the ability to reduce the exploitation of natural resources, carbon emissions, saving
water and electricity, and the use of renewable energy. In an ideal level, the application of the
concept of property begins with the selection of environmentally friendly materials
bangunan.Pemakaian environmentally friendly building materials and energy efficient still
continue to be studied by exploring local knowledge.
In Indonesian, the trend to go green or building rests on 3 R is not rampant plague the realm
of industrial property. In fact, there are no provisions on the criteria eco-friendly buildings
and signs supporting the regional spatial development of environmentally friendly residential
and office buildings. The lack of paradigm ecoproperty make eco-friendly property
development in Indonesia is still limited to the developer claims. Even if already started, the
concept tends to be translated partially into the physical building, the amount of green open
space, building height, and line sempadan.Saat more and more development of the property
with the concept of green and got a positive response from the public. However, the paradigm
of the green concept is different because there are no clear rules regarding the criteria ecofriendly property.
Application of green building at the planning stage looks at some construction design award
as acquiring energy-efficient building design, where the system designed buildings can
reduce electricity consumption for lighting and air system and the various new breakthrough
in the world of construction also introduces a variety of structural materials which currently
uses waste as one of its components, such as the use of flyash, silica fume on concrete readymix concrete and pre-press. Additionally breakthrough system construction material also
introduces the world to reduce dependence on the use of construction wood material as a
scaffold.

The use of materials / construction materials are widely used such as glass, concrete, wood,
asphalt, steel and other metal types is considered to cause significant effects of global
warming and climate change in the world. Remember how the use of tinted glass / glass can
reflect sunlight which is usually used on tall buildings / high rise window films commonly
called the ribben. Clearly it is very harmful because it delivers sunlight back into the
atmosphere and there was a buildup so that the temperature of the Earth is very hot.
In the application of green building are many challenges that must be passed, for example:
1. Cost
It is undeniable that the use of these green buildings cost a lot. For the Green Building
concept is certainly not the same as the other buildings. Many factors make the Green
building takes a considerable cost, such as for example in Peggunaan expert or experts
in the manufacture of building the concept of Green Building course eject small cost.
2. Making strategic design
Each building or a construction certainly has a different design, of course, the
principles of Green Building design should increase the efficiency of use of resources
and the implementation of the use of construction products that have
lingkungan.Tentunya friendly concept that a major challenge Green Building experts
to create a design that match the external conditions surrounding the internal
environment.
3. Selection of materials / building materials that are environmentally friendly
The majority of homes today are built using timber frame, traditional building
materials and the material of choice for many people. However, building a timber
framed house plan that requires very carefully designed and the construction crew
with a lot of experience and skill. Building a house with a wood frame structure
generally will result in a reliable and safe, but also prone to premature failure when
small details are left or are made with quality wood products buruk.Saat these
homeowners have the opportunity to choose from alternative Green Building
Materials. However, the issue of illegal logging are still a lot of use of wood as the
material began ditinggalakan for environmental sustainability. The use of natural
smell, gypsum, brick, gypsum, and aluminum and steel piliha ringanpun be right.
Because in addition to environmentally friendly but also able to support the building
and of course healthy conditionals.
4. Preparation of legal regulations in the application of green building
In Indonesia today, the discourse of green construction started to look at the
implementation of several projects such as the airport toll road project undertaken by

PT. Housing Development and Housing Project Rusunami by PT. But unfortunately,
until now there is no legal framework that houses the application of green
construction in Indonesia what to mention a number of incentives to be given to the
implementation of projects that apply the concept of green construction.
5. Structuring the city to realize the concept of green building
Green Building certainly should make an area in tempatinya be a beautiful area and
friendly environment. It is therefore necessary that the proper city planning if we want
to create a Green Building in Indonesia. Location of city planning in accordance with
the environmental balance of the ecosystem, not to actually damage the manufacture
of Green Building green area, or air and hydrological cycles that are affected by the
loss of water catchment areas. For areas in Indonesia alone, if we take the example of
the construction of the Green Building jakarta maybe difficult to implement, due to
the layout of the city of Jakarta which had been solid for kepentinan buildings are
commercial or residential building residential.
6. Financing and maintenance of green building
7. Health factors
Using the materials and the products are non-toxic to improve indoor air quality, and
reduce the rate of asthma, allergies and sick building syndrome. Material emissionfree, and resistant to moisture which produces sporadan prevent other microbes.
Indoor air quality should also be supported using an effective ventilation system and
humidity control materials that allow the building to breathe. Natural materials or
natural've known it quite vulnerable to environmental disturbances such as the
presence of micro-organisms themselves, as well as the air humidity and temperature
outside or inside the room that must be balanced to minimize damage to the building.
8. Building public awareness of the importance of green building
This challenge is also quite important to be solved, Many Indonesian people that
would not know the meaning of Green Building. Starting from the concept, its
benefits in the long term as well as its application. Green Building extension should
also be given to the people of Indonesia to better determine the role of the Green
Building in the world of development in Indonesia. Especially with the economy the
people of Indonesia are minimal making this plan is limited to developers building
with large capital and among the middle and upper.
Whatever humans do to the environment preservation and improvement of the
environment would indeed mean the slightest as throwing waste in place, it was still
not achieved perfectly. With age thinning because of climate change, increasing

energy shortages and health problems, it makes sense to build a long-lasting building,
save energy, reduce waste and pollution, and improve the health and well-being.

Some applications of air refresher concept is :

Ventilation
The wind will flow from low temperature towards higher temperatures. The attic is
the part that receives the largest radiation, so it has a hot temperature. Preferably
furnished attic ventilation holes, so it will draw air from the chamber to flow to the

outside of the building.

High ceiling
Through vent holes located on the roof, then the hot air pressure inside the chamber
will be interested and wasted to the outside through the roof. To get the effect of the
chimney (stack effect), then the wind tower is made with flap shape the direction the
wind comes, and better yet the presence of voids. The stack effect is optimal when the
houses / buildings have high ceilings or a minimum of two floors. The higher the

ceiling, the better the ventilation (air flow).

Porch and eaves
The terrace serves as a transitional space between exterior and interior space
dalam.Pada hot climates, such as in Indonesia, the presence of the patio can create a
microclimate that gives comfort in the building and its surroundings. This is due to the
air pressure on the page become inflated because of the hot temperatures, while the
patio is an area of wind suction pressure is higher and cooler temperatures.
Differences in temperature and pressure causes air to flow, from cold temperatures to
hot temperatures, or from high pressure to lower pressure. The air in the room will be
pulled out and replaced immediately. As well as the patio, eaves function will cool the
air temperature first, before getting into the space. The wider eaves, the room
temperature will be cold.
