The concept of Green Building

The concept of Green Building or buildings are encouraged to be environmentally friendly property development trends for the world today. This environmentally-friendly buildings have contributed to curbing global warming fix microclimate (climate at the scope of the immediate environment around tempt live Kita).

"The biggest point in this concept is to save water and energy and use renewable energy," said Rana Yusuf Nasir of the Association of Building Physics Indonesia (IAFBI), as one speaker in a panel discussion on "Global Warming-What You Can Do Real World?" , Friday (24 / 8) in Jakarta.

According to Rana, in Indonesia, access to renewable energy is still weak. Electric energy supply for the property just rely Page State Electricity Company (PLN), which are not yet using renewable energy sources.

In the United States, continued Rana, the company supplies electric energy with choices of fuels, including renewable fuels. Developers who choose electricity from renewable sources will earn the biggest points in the concept of Green Building.

For applications in pemukian Green onsep Indonesia still appears the assumption that environmentally friendly buildings is expensive, difficult and not feasible in the business.

"The manager of the building as a large energy users now have the responsibility to reduce global warming in ways that save energy, water, fuel, etc.," said Satriyo.

The main points in the application of environmental friendly concepts is usually based on a concept design that prioritizes efficiency.

Briefly referred to the efficiency in this regard is the use of water, minimum use of energy, or the protection of the ozone layer. Architectural design concept has been a tendency to see architecture as a stand-alone building.

The concept of efficiency as a whole on environmentally friendly buildings, among which are only required to build and use no more than necessary.

Design strategies that can be applied, among others, the use of materials that can be used again in the future, it's still possible to change the concept of physical design (renovation), linkages with the local ecology, the relationship between transit and residence, recreation and work, as well as water use efficiency, handling waste, and promote local conditions both physically and socially.
