green-houseThe fact of global warming affecting climate change and degradation of environmental quality of human life have been aware of the importance of saving human life on Earth. Various parties continue to work together to build a new world that is more environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Property developers to share information to build green properties to the town green. Listing products introduced to green consumers who increasingly critical of developers who are not environmentally friendly. There are many properties of the concept of green garden city, green city, the city of trees, home gardens, botanical gardens, green parks, to the green valley that floods the market has been dazzling the public.

Architecture trends that had a popular, ranging from tropical-style house, country, Mediterranean, to minimalist, from left consumers. The architects and home owners began to work together to develop the concept of a residential house and more environmentally friendly inhabitants sought.

Eco-friendly house (green house) requires several things to consider. Houses must be built on land that was earmarked for residential area, not a green area (watershed). The composition of the wake and the wake is not adjusted to the rules applicable in each region. For residential areas, the basic building coefficient (KDB) ideally the maximum 70 percent, so providing the basis coefficient green (KDH) up to 30 percent.

Since the planning and construction of houses, building materials used should use local materials or easily obtained from nearby regions. Ease bring local materials will save transportation costs and helped to reduce vehicle emissions of carbon gases.

Local materials will be more aligned with the character of the building environment, such as exposure to building stone, brick, and wood to blend the natural impression; or cement, steel, and glass featuring a modern face. Interior and furniture in the house can use the materials easily recyclable or recycled products result.

Building sketch quite easy to follow, flowing air circulation and natural light with privacy. The placement of doors, windows, voids, and the right vent. Spaces in the house (living room, family room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen) feels quite light, but not too hot or humid. The fresh air blew all around the room, enough with the fan, air conditioner use only at a certain time.

Low power

Electricity crisis and the more expensive byarpet encourage all parties to begin to get used to use alternative energy environmentally friendly. Though not much developed, residents continue to seek that power (if possible) easy and cheap. Choice fell on the installation panels of solar cells on the roof of the building to heat water and a few point lights.

In coastal areas, is the development of windmills to supply electricity. Biogas also been ogled to illuminate a light or cooking. Alternative electrical energy development environmentally friendly homes should be done so that the house does not depend much on the PLN electricity supply in the future.

Availability KDH 30 percent more to provide an opportunity for the home and residents can breathe freely. Green space is developed into a park with the concept of park residents as needed, such as parks therapies / reflection / relaxation, water garden, flower garden, or according to the architecture of tropical gardens, minimalist garden, Japanese garden and Mediterranean garden.

This beautiful park is an ecological contribution to the city as a private green open space part of the green open spaces of the city. Residents are entitled to incentives such as tax reductions, cutting the cost of electricity, telephone, and other facilities, from the government as the government’s appreciation for the participation of citizens in the city green adds.

The architects began diligently to build a green roof (green roof, roof garden) as an effort to replace the land (green) that is built up. In the big cities are crowded and cramped, the presence of green roofs cool like an oasis in the middle of concrete jungle city. Not enough, the walls of the house covered in vines also be a wall of green (green wall).

The building is covered with plants proved to affect the micro climate surrounding environment.The heat down. Park a natural roof insulation. Solar radiation absorbed by plants. Gas processing plant pollutants into oxygen. Precipitation can be accommodated, absorbed, and drawn into the pipe and into the well diresapkan water absorption.

Waste

Room in the house becomes more cool and comfortable (AC usage can be reduced). Residents can relax, see the blue sky at noon, at the stars shining in the night, or a garden party on the landscape while enjoying the view from the roof of the house. A very rare experience for the citizens of the city.

Menyerapkan environmentally friendly home water falling as much as possible into the ground (zero run off). Houses built drainage system clean, dirty water, and waste water is made separately. Clean water from the pump or piped directly channeled into the tub basin. Bath had been taking a shower. Water troughs began much eliminated because bathing with a bucket considered more wasteful of water.

The water used to bathe or wash vegetables be recycled into the water to flush the toilet, watering plants or washing cars. Water former washing clothes and utensils collected, filtered (neutralized), and naturally diresapkan into a well-equipped water catchment natural filter (sand, gravel, fibers, pieces of brick / tile). Dirty water is channeled into the septic tank are processed separately.

Waste is also done by separating the organic and inorganic waste from the source (zero waste).Time vegetables, fruits, and processed foods to be organic waste to the plant in the garden memupuki home. Second-hand goods selected and divided into goods ready for another new function or set aside to be given to scavengers. All residents invited to get involved in waste management.

Do not forget, if a house near the location of public transportation (bus or train), inhabitants invited to familiarize themselves and walk or bike to go to a place of daily activities, particularly those within easy walking distance. Healthier, more environmentally friendly. Pedestrian lane wide, comfortable, and quiet in neighborhoods and cities are also increasingly encouraging people to walk. Provision of bike paths is also one form of a green city.
