JAKARTA - Deputy Minister of Public Works (PU), Diana Kusumastuti hopes that all architects in Indonesia can continue to innovate and also collaborate with related parties so that they can play an active role in climate change mitigation actions.
In the midst of climate crisis and technological disruption, one of the main strategies to improve architectural performance and also the construction industry is how to reduce building sector carbon emissions. Well, this is where architects have a very important role. Because architects cannot be separated from building buildings. And some of the reduction strategies that can be done, of course, are to reduce energy use through changes in behavior and energy efficiency. This is what we really always emphasize, "explained Diana.
Diana added that the Indonesian government continues to be committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through climate change mitigation efforts.
This has been ratified in Law number 16 of 2016 and also the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) document, where Indonesia is targeting a 31.89 percent reduction in the carbon NDC with its own efforts, and 43.2 percent with international assistance by 2030.
This global emission also includes an embanded carbon in the building's user sector.
Diana explained that one of the concrete steps in mitigating climate change was carried out by the Ministry of Public Works by regulating mandatory fulfillment and voluntary compliance with the technical standards of Green Building Building Buildings (BGH) and Smart Building Buildings (BGC).
According to him, this technical standard must be understood by current architects.
The principle of BGH and BGC is to carry the concept of reduction, reuse, and recycle. So for the resources used and also oriented to the life cycle and implement passive and actively designed design. Which of course must be integrated in order to reduce the use of energy. This is the job of the architect. The task of the architect is to achieve the building earlier can be net zero emissions. Hopefully everything can be done later," hoped Diana.
In addition to implementing BGH and BGC technical standards in organizing construction, architects must also be able to carry land construction technology as has been applied by the Ministry of Public Works through Building Information Modeling (BIM).
This BIM is used to calculate how the energy load analysis is, so that building construction can be carried out efficiently and sustainably.
This mitigation effort carried out by the government itself received full support from the exhibition participants who were present to display the designs of their buildings.
One of them was conveyed by Christi Pramudianti Wihardjono, Business Development Manager of PT Tatalogam Lestari (Tatalogam Group) who appeared with an architectural design entitled Ruang Riung: Fingerprint of Indonesia.
Christi said that sustainable development must also be supported by construction materials that are in the manufacturing process, production processes to the distribution process produce very low carbon emissions.
All of the light steel products produced by Tatalogam Lestari are certainly environmentally friendly. Because environmental sustainability has become one of our main focuses in the Tatalogam Group, where we oversee PT Tatalogam Lestari as a producer of light steel in the downstream sector, and Tata Metal Lestari as the provider of its raw materials. This is evidenced by the acquisition of Green Industry certification from the Ministry of Industry and other certifications from within and outside the country. Even now some of our materials are in the process of GSE (Greenship Solution Endorsment) to provide certainty that our material is in its manufacturing process, in its production process, until the distribution process produces a small amount of carbon footprint, "explained Christi.
Christi added that the use of environmentally friendly materials, and the use of technology can also help the government's efforts to mitigate climate change.
All of this is evidenced by the use of Purlin materials with the Domus Fastrac system they use in building their architectural design this time. In the construction of Riung Space, almost no waste is produced in the development location.
This happens because with the Domus Fastrac system, all materials have been calculated with a computerized and cut program as needed at the factory before being sent to the construction site.
The Riung room, the results of the collaboration of Tatalogam Lestari and the team of architects from Mark Associates, were built with Purlin material and were designed using a system that we called Domus Fastrac. So all the materials have been prepared according to the shape and size in the factory so that the residence is just installed like a lego. So zero wave, no material is wasted at the construction site. And all of our materials can be reused or reuse. All of our materials can be modified into other forms used for other forms, and used in other places. It is one of the concepts of our material, "explained Christi.

Mark Associates Principal Design Halim added, although it was built with light steel material, the design of the Riung Space architecture proved to be able to appear lues with organic curves and succeeded in displaying an image of Indonesia's silhouette which has various cultures and contours of its territory.
Rung rooms are community centers designed to encourage social interaction, cultural exchange, and collective action. They are rooted in the traditions of Indonesia's communal space. This form of installation is inspired by the diversity of Indonesian culture and nature which are so diverse that it does not imitate the shape of any area literally. By extracting common principles; raised structures, organic curves, and layered levels, this design invites an open interpretation. Visitors may see the roof silhouette of Gadang House, the rhythm of sea waves, or the most frequent symmetries, depicting a pluralistic Indonesian identity, "explained.
