Penerapan Kajian Arsitektur Hijau dalam Strategi Perancangan Terminal Bus dan Pusat Perbelanjaan di Kabupaten Karanganyar

<p class="Keywords"><em>Land transportation, especially buses, plays an important role in community activities. The number of people who use buses will increase the number of buses. With the increase in the number of buses, a bus station that can accommodate adequate fleets and passengers is needed. In Karanganyar District there are 10 bus stations available but none of them are able to accommodate passengers and fleets with adequate facilities. The Government of Karanganyar has planned the development of the 2013-2032 Karanganyar Spatial Plan in the form of bus stations. One of them is located in Kebakkramat Sub-district. Bus station optimization can be combined with the existence of a shopping center as a support for activities and can be utilized by the people in surrounding areas to fulfill their needs. Bus stations and shopping centers are public facilities with high vehicle intensity and located in industrial locations which cause pollution. The green architecture approach is used as a design strategy to overcome problems and increase public awareness of the importance of caring for the environment. From this phenomenon, literature and field data are collected. Then, they are analyzed and discussed in accordance with the principles of green architecture based on criteria and benchmarks of the Green Building Council Indonesia. It is conducted to be applied to the selection of site locations, green architecture in building design, and utility systems.</em></p>

Develop an Environmental Assessment Technique for Human Comfort Requirements in Buildings

Environmental assessment methods have emerged to assess the environmental performance of buildings across the world. Accurate results obtained using these methods are considered highly important, especially when comparing the environmental performance of buildings creating a fair competition among them. They are used for assessing green buildings regarding issues such as energy, water… etc. The indoor quality is one of these issues and human comfort achieving the identified comfortable ranges by evaluating a number of factors using quantitative measurements, so the current assessing way is considered complex besides the consumption of time and effort without reaching significantly accurate results. Therefore the research problem appears in the lack of an appropriate mean in the current assessment methods to evaluate items linked with sensation and emotions.The research paper aims to propose a more credible and an accurate assessment approach to assess those items, besides psychological comfort. The previous type of comfort rarely appears in current assessment methods despite of being one of the green architecture principles. The 'Kano Model' is the proposed way used for the application of questionnaires that are put through the information network and linked to assessment methods to get more accurate and creditable results when assessing human comfort items.

Applying the Principles of Green Architecture for Saving Energy in Buildings

Since the United Nations Conference, which was held under the title of “Earth Summit” in 1992, striving for achieving sustainable development must also include a complete realization for fulfilment buildings and towns which is characterized by sustainability principle, after the conference lots of serious global trends began to appear and tried to accomplish with the environment and these trends called contemporary trends of environmental design, one of the most important trends is “green architecture” which focuses on the relationship between buildings and natural, this trend appeared as a reaction for facing the environmental problems and health risks which occurred because of the buildings which have no environmental dimension in their designs or the importance of keeping the energy and the natural resources.Most of buildings nowadays disregards weather and its effect, also the cooling purpose increases the energy consumption, on the other hand the problems of the rapid depletion of energy appears, because of the continuous need for energy to design and coexistence inside the buildings but all the time this energy is being wasted because of users or wrong design of building which make it exhauster for energy during the time, when we can figure out that it is possible with little effort and time to study how to improve the efficiency of energy used in building or decrease the waste of energy in return for energy saving and consumption regulation, here comes the importance role architectural designer to solve this problems, and there are lots of desirable trends provides using the new and rentable energy (like sun energy and wind energy) which cope up with the basics and principles of green architecture which is environment-friendly, and all of that just to provide the current needs of energy and try to save it or finding an future alternative. And as a extraction for the basics and principles of green architecture lots of real goals were resulted for this trend like achieving good thermal environmental for users and also good ventilation and natural lighting and that can be done by using many application and environmental processors to help rationalize consumption the energy and means of modern mechanical treatments to produce energy in clean and renewable way, also to be environment-friendly and that is the mean goal of that research which aims to create a building tandem with environment and comfortable for its users to help them doing their daily activities in a convenient way.

Green building rating systems as a design target for public buildings: a case study analysis

Comfort of building's occupants lies at the core of building design targets. In previous researches (Mohamed and Gado 2006; Mohamed, 2009, 2013), the author of this research devised a detailed methodology to aid the integration Green Architecture Principles at the early stages of design. This methodology has been employed in several real-life building projects. This research presents one of these projects as a case study analysis. The methodology employs the environmental assessor 'leadership for environmental and energy design' (LEED) as a design target. Also, several environmental software and tools (Autodesk Ecotect, HTB2, Weather Tool, the Psychometric Chart, Mahoney Tables, the Stereograph Diagram and the Solar Tool) have been employed in the context analysis and to quantify the effectiveness of proposed passive strategies and measures on the environmental performance of the case study. The results confirmed a significant performance enhancement for the case study through applying the proposed passive solutions.

مقارنة تطبیقیة بیئیة بین مدینة مصدر(ابو ظبى) و the gate (القاهرة)

Planning new urban communities & Cities need an extensive understanding for the new environment nature and for the social and economic systems in terms of scientific and technological progress. Desert reclamation will not be useful without a sustainable urban design that is based on the principles of green architecture. Here will be two case studies of residential cities, one of them is national and the other is international, both share common construction time plan, style and the sustainable olutions. The case studies offer a comparison between the environmental and sustainable approaches of The Gate project (Nasr city – Cairo) and The Masdar City (Abu Dhabi) and results were as following … From Results, we found that some Environmental standards were applied on those two case studies and other standards were not applied enough. Thus, we recommend planners and designers to apply the principles of green architecture to achieve an environmental balance in the new residential communities whether in or outside cities in order to achieve a sustainable urbanism.

The recent Egyptian attempts of desert areas development went through many problems that have never been studied or criticized properly. The criticism should determine the defections and failures that mainly come from the classic approaches of desert development; with the absence of the comprehensive understanding of the nature of the desert, tangled social, economic and political relations and others, and the tendency to develop the desert and to move systematically out of the Nile valley. Here will be two case studies of residential cities, one of them is national and the other is international, both share common construction time plan, style and the sustainable solutions. The case studies offer a comparison between the environmental and sustainable approaches of New Qarna (Luxor) and Haram City (6 October) and results were as following … From Results, we found that some Environmental standards were applied on those two case studies and other standards were not applied enough. Thus, we recommend planners and designers to apply the principles of green architecture to achieve an environmental balance in the new residential communities whether in or outside cities in order to achieve a sustainable urbanism

Inclusion of ‘Green’ Principles in the Design of Pre-School Buildings

The environmental influence of building fund is colossal. Traditional buildings exploit excessive amount of energy, water, land, and raw materials for construction and utilization. This conscienceless attitude towards the resources eventually causes the disruption of the natural balance, which brought into question the survival of human civilization. Current situation has triggered a huge response in the global community, woke her environmental awareness and prompted the man to turn around and return to nature in order to establish the initial state of balance. Statistical data indicates that educational institutions are in the second place from the aspect of energy consumption in the commercial sector with account just over 11% of total energy used by this sector. A great part of the preschool facilities in Serbia dates back to a period of time when there were no eco-friendly thinking in the building design process and construction. Research has shown that these are the buildings of older construction, energy inefficient and often dysfunctional with disrupted the parameters of stay comfort. The significant part of built fund is actually neglected and without planed strategic steps for regular keeping and maintenance. This study defines and valorizes concrete steps and methods for environmental, energy-efficient and economic reshaping in accordance with pre-defined standard, which will provide healthier living conditions, reduce the negative effects on the environment and climate changes and achieve significant energy savings. Applied functional - technical solutions in international pre-school buildings are analyzed in order to identify their positive characteristics and potential. Gathered knowledge and foreign practical experiences are used in the process of creating models adaptable to the areas and needs in Serbia. The main objective of research is seen in the tendency to determine and emphasize the direction of future green architectural practice in the area of pre-schools institutions’ building design. The basic idea is to initiate the new design activity which imperatively includes concept and principles of green architecture. Final results of mentioned process are a well thought out and detailed environmental - energy successful green buildings. With their environmental performances, ''green'' buildings of pre-school institutions, as a group of public purpose facilities, in addition to their positive impact on the growth and development of residing children population, directly contribute to the global energy efficiency increase and reduction of harmful impacts on the environment. The realization of the concept of ''green'' in the area of architecture requires the active cooperation of all the factors of the community. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.sace.12.3.13023

Emerging Towers in Bayraklı: Sustainability as a Branding Strategy or a Tool for Local Development?

Sustainability and eco-friendly towers have been among the most discussed topics of contemporary high-rise building design. High-rise buildings have been an important part of the modern economy with their concentration of human capital and branding value for the urban context. In addition, during the recent years, to address the problems of sprawl, environmental, and ecological concerns, sustainable high-rise building design has gained further significance and visibility in architecture and planning literature. In existing literature, sustainability of high-rises is defined mainly through ecological design and green architecture principles in individual building scale. However, sustainability in the case of high-rises remains an ill-defined term, as there is neglect of further long term effects of these buildings on the social, cultural, economic, and resiliency contexts of cities. When not integrated with the broader urban context, sustainability falls into the gap to be perceived as “greenwash”, which stands for a superficially-employed concept used as a fashionable branding strategy. Within this general framework, this study will examine the emerging towers in Bayrakli, Izmir, which is designated by the local government as a high-rise development zone. The study will focus on high-rise buildings (completed and under construction) in relation to the perception of sustainability and question whether or not sustainability is used as a greenwash branding strategy or a contextual element that is well-embedded in architectural design process and urban planning decisions. The method of research will be a descriptive case study through semi-structured interviews with the design team and real estate professionals of the buildings, as well as media analysis and consideration of the local municipality reports about Bayrakli. The results indicate that sustainability has become a principle embraced and advertised in the building scale as an environmental concern more than it is embraced in the urban and social context.

An Exploration on Ecologic Compatibility and Green Architecture Principles in Iranian Deserts

The purpose of this study is an Exploration on Ecologic Compatibility and Green Architecture Principles in Iranian Deserts. Disproportionate impact of human on the nature is not new. This disruption is a relatively recent phenomenon related to two chief factors, first, population growth an second, mastery of human over the nature. Since the Industrial Revolution excessive exploitation of the natural resources has been intensified. So, this causes a gradual depletion of natural resources and the imbalance of nature and eventually an uneven relationship between man and nature. Attempts need to be taken t so that human be able to sustain life and the nature survival since a global ecological security, national and social safety are not even guaranteed. Respect for the environment and the nature as well as being familiar with the ecology, topography and weather sound critical. Accordingly, sustainable design is no longer a formal style inspired by the transient conditions, though it includes some deep concepts symbolizing man, the nature and architecture interaction. Benefiting from theoretical findings of green architecture and sustainable urban design principles besides traditional architecture and local urbanization in desert areas are manifested in the notion of Iranian desert city, instead of continuation of uncontrolled expansion and low-density cities, it is advised to take steps towards improving environmental sustainability.
