Application of green building concept in the basement area of indonesia computer university

One of the aspects that need to take into consideration in the matter of constructing the building, particularly multi-storey building is the aspect of power efficiency that would be used mainly for the utilization of electrical energy. The building Engineer will attempt to fulfill the building owner expectation by creating designs for the building that may help to save more energy as well as lowering the operating cost. The objective of this research is analysing benefits and costs from the construction of a building by taking into account energy efficiency aspects with applying a case study to three basement unit which is located in Universitas Komputer Indonesia. This research using quantitative analysis to evaluate the installation and energy cost saving of the basement air circulation system and equipment. The result indicates that the building especially the basement area where the air circulation is quite good and a precise air fan on-off control system could reduce the cost of electricity from the continuous operating of exhaust fan and fresh air blower
