Amid increasingly evident global warming issues, the concept of environmentally friendly buildings has become a new standard in the construction industry.
Many developers are now adopting green building concepts to reduce negative impacts on the environment. Several examples of green buildings in Indonesia have demonstrated that operational comfort can go hand in hand with energy efficiency.
With proper certification, these buildings not only reduce operational costs but also provide healthier living environments for their occupants.
Below are several buildings in Indonesia that have successfully implemented sustainability principles and received recognition through various green certifications.
Examples of Green Buildings with Greenship Certification
Greenship is a certification issued by the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI). This certification evaluates buildings based on energy efficiency, water usage, and indoor air quality.
Ahmad Yani International Airport, Semarang
General Ahmad Yani International Airport is one of the iconic green infrastructure projects in Central Java. Its new terminal, inaugurated in 2018, features a unique “floating” design concept, making it the first floating airport in Indonesia.
Beyond its striking aesthetics, the airport is designed to maximize natural lighting and effective air circulation.
As a major gateway for tourism and economic activity, Ahmad Yani Airport proves that large-scale public facilities can also serve as exemplary green buildings.
Pertamina Panorama Hospital Balikpapan
This hospital is a pioneer of green buildings in East Kalimantan, having achieved the Greenship New Building Silver certification. Pertamina Hospital Balikpapan places strong emphasis on energy consumption and water management.
With high scores in water and energy conservation aspects, the building creates a comfortable healing environment while remaining responsible toward environmental sustainability.
Examples of Green Buildings with EDGE Certification
EDGE (Excellence in Design for Greater Efficiencies) is an international certification standard that focuses on resource efficiency, including energy, water, and building materials.
Jeranjang PLTU Administration Building
This building is part of the national energy sector’s environmentally conscious operations. With EDGE certification, the Jeranjang PLTU Administration Building has reduced energy consumption by up to 20% and achieved water savings of up to 40%.
The use of more environmentally friendly building materials further strengthens its role as a model for office buildings within the energy industry sector.
Grand Madison Apartment
This vertical residential development in Jakarta demonstrates that a luxurious lifestyle can be aligned with environmental sustainability. Grand Madison Apartment (2BR and 3BR units) has obtained EDGE Certification.
Through designs that maximize natural lighting and air circulation, the apartment helps residents reduce their monthly electricity costs.
In addition, responsible water management and material selection make Grand Madison one of the most sought-after examples of green residential buildings in the capital city.
Examples of Green Buildings with BGH Certification
BGH (Bangunan Gedung Hijau / Green Building) is a national standard regulated by the government to ensure that buildings in Indonesia meet sustainability requirements.
Chairul Saleh Building
Located in Central Jakarta, the Chairul Saleh Building has obtained Greenship Existing Building Gold certification.
Its main advantage lies in energy savings of up to 20.5%, achieved through the use of a Building Automation System (BAS) and renewable energy sources.
These significant electricity savings position the building as a key reference for the implementation of BGH standards in Indonesia.
The application of green concepts in the buildings above reflects a strong commitment to the future of the planet.
