STRATEGY ON GREEN BUILDING TO REDUCE OVERALL THERMAL TRANSFER VALUE IN THE ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL IN THE TROPICS

Abstract

This research in focused on the design of the Wijaya Kusuma Building at Orthopedic Hospital of Prof. Dr. Soeharso, Semarang, Indonesia as a center of medical rehabilitation services and Orthopedic. Medicine which should provide comfort for patients, visitors and medical occupants of the hospital. Althought the positition of the building extends in East-West to reduce radiation, but tropical condiditions inside the building was still less convenient. This study will review OOTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) of the building in accordance with the principle of energy conservation. The research method use was stimulation using Excel and Sketch-up software. The façade redesign effort WAS ABLE TO REDUCE THE VALUE OF ootv AT ABOUT 19.56-21.19%. The combination efforts of the windows replacement and façade redesign could decrease OOTV up to 31.63-33.11%.
