Implementing energy efficiency and conservation in green homes as learning media for vocational building engineering in Indonesia

Abstract

The house is a building that serves as a residence or occupancy and means of fostering the family. Some people have not realized that the participation of environmental care in overcoming global warming and climate change can start from their respective homes, which is by implementing eco-friendly house. This is evidenced by a large number of people who use full land without leaving green spaces, excessive use of electrical energy, excessive and uncontrolled water use, and so on. Energy conservation is the efficient and rational use of energy without reducing the vital energy usage. Green Ship Homes of Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) establishes several criteria in relation to the assessment of green buildings on conservation and energy efficiency. These requirements are electricity metering, passive design analysis, sub-metering, artificial lighting, thermal condition, heat reduction, home appliance energy-saving home appliances and renewable energy source. The purpose of this research was to produce learning media in the form of 2D drawings, 3D images, booklets, and homesteads that apply the principles of conservation and energy efficiency. The learning media was designed based on the conservation and energy efficiency principles of Green Ship Homes from GBCI. This development research was initiated by observation, literature review, design preparation, media creation and media validation. The results of this study showed that media has been validated by experts as excellent in use as a tool in environmental education in building vocational engineering education. Based on the results of media field trials, it is included in the category of very feasible. It shows the use of conservation media and energy efficiency at the university level is very necessary in the effort of environmental conservation through the educational sphere.
