Abstract

The environmental impact caused by the construction of the building is very large. A building will require great energy, electricity, water, and also produces large amounts of waste. To prevent that, a concept of development that caring the state of the environment is needed. The concept is known as the green building concept. This research was conducted to assess academic buildings at a higher education institution using green building assessment. The criteria for assessment is based on Greenship Rating System which consists of six categories such as appropriate site development, energy efficiency and conservation, water conservation, material resources and cycle, indoor air health and comfort, building and environment management. The results of this research are comparison between the green building actual and ideal conditions using gap analysis. Action plans also developed to achieve the expected green conditions according to Green Building Certification.

Highlights

The current global warming is a world issue
There are two buildings at Faculty of Engineering Universitas Indonesia that selected as the objects of this research
The gap points at efficiency and conservation (EEC) criteria are caused by several factors, including recommissioning have never done on the cooling system, the lack of written Standard Operation Procedure for air conditioning systems, MVAC system is not used, no submetering for energy consumption in EC buildings

Summary

Introduction

The current global warming is a world issue. The phenomenon of global warming is the rising temperature of the earth's surface due to the increased greenhouse effect. Based on data from the World Green Building Council, throughout the world, building donate 33% of CO2 emissions, consume 17% water, 25% of wood products, energy use by 30-40% and 40-50% utilization of raw materials for the construction and operation. [1] Energy consumption in the building sector can be quite large for lighting or air conditioning. A source of energy for the building comes from the consumption of fossil fuels that emit carbon dioxide in significant quantities. Poor indoor air quality in buildings has been linked to significant health problems such as cancers, asthma, Legionnaires' disease and hypersensitivity pneumonitis [2]. One idea that to reduce global warming and environmental degradation is an environmentally friendly building concept, called green building. Several previous research related to the implementation of Green Building in Indonesia such as on Civil Engineering Institut Teknologi Surabaya (ITS), building H ITS and construction project in Surabaya.
