Abstract
One of the aspects that need to take into consideration in the matter of constructing the building, particularly multi-storey building is the aspect of power efficiency that would be used mainly for the utilization of electrical energy. The building Engineer will attempt to fulfill the building owner expectation by creating designs for the building that may help to save more energy as well as lowering the operating cost. The objective of this research is analysing benefits and costs from the construction of a building by taking into account energy efficiency aspects with applying a case study to three basement unit which is located in Universitas Komputer Indonesia. This research using quantitative analysis to evaluate the installation and energy cost saving of the basement air circulation system and equipment. The result indicates that the building especially the basement area where the air circulation is quite good and a precise air fan on-off control system could reduce the cost of electricity from the continuous operating of exhaust fan and fresh air blower.
Highlights
The development of the design field in Indonesia is getting better as can be seen from various aspects, such as building aesthetics, building functions, building strength, building compliance with government regulations and electricity consumption efficiency
One of the green building aspects that is going to be analyzed is the concept of air circulation in the basement that is used for motorcycle parking
Green building is a concept that refers to a building that applies improved efficiency in its use of resources, such as energy, water, and the material used, to reduce the negative impacts of its construction on humans and the environment
Summary
The development of the design field in Indonesia is getting better as can be seen from various aspects, such as building aesthetics, building functions, building strength, building compliance with government regulations and electricity consumption efficiency. Every building constructed since the establishment of the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works has to comply with the stipulation set in the regulation This regulation has benefitted building owners and users, in terms of improved efficiency in energy, material and resources use. The university paid a lot of attention to the efficiency of resources used in its construction, which include the use of proper yet competitively cost efficient material, its pleasing and attractive aesthetics so that it has a distinctively unique appearance compared to other campuses in general, efficiency in the use of land and yards for green space, efficiency in its electricity consumption by installing energy-efficient equipment’s, and automatic operation system for air conditioners, lifts, lighting units, and fans that can be set to operate automatically according to operational hours. One of the green building aspects that is going to be analyzed is the concept of air circulation in the basement that is used for motorcycle parking
