dc.description.abstract | The concept of green building has become an important solution in reducing the
negative impact of development on the environment. This study aims to analyze the
application of the green building concept in middle and upper middle class housing
in Deli Serdang based on the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) standards.
The research method used is direct observation and quantitative analysis of three
housing complexes, namely Citraland, Kualanamu Residence, and Pasadena
Residence, with a focus on five main criteria: land use, energy efficiency and
conservation, water conservation, material sources and cycles, and health and
comfort in space. The results showed that Citraland housing achieved a Silver
rating with a fulfillment percentage of 50%, while Kualanamu Residence and
Pasadena Residence each achieved a Bronze rating with a percentage of 38.3%
and 41.67%. The health and comfort category in space is the dominant factor in
Citraland (66.7%) and Pasadena Residence (66.7%), while energy efficiency and
conservation are the most influential in Kualanamu Residence (46.7%). However,
several aspects such as pest control, handling of rainwater runoff, and the use of
environmentally friendly materials still do not meet optimal standards. This study
recommends increasing awareness of developers and governments in implementing
green building principles, as well as the need for incentives and supporting
regulations. These findings can be a reference for architects, contractors, and other
stakeholders in designing and building more sustainable housing in the future. | en_US |
