Redesign of the Health Department Building of Provinsi Sumatera Utara with a Green Architecture Approach

Abstract

The Health Department Building of Provinsi Sumatera Utara has been established for a long period of time, resulting in environmental degradation and building damage due to age and environmental conditions. Health Department Building of Provinsi Sumatera Utara also faces the challenge of inefficient spatial planning, which disrupts air circulation, lighting, and user comfort. This condition also increases safety risks due to limited evacuation routes and unintegrated security systems. Therefore, it is necessary to re-plan the building by applying green building principles. The design results can show that the application of green architecture in the Health Department Building of Provinsi Sumatera Utara can create efficient space, support innovation, improve the quality of comfort and health, maximize the use of existing areas and support Indonesia Emas 2045. This redesign is expected to be applied to existing buildings and become a model for the construction of other government buildings.
