Water Management in UGM for Resilient and Healthy Campus

Water management is one of the most challenging aspects of campus management. With a large number on campus population and limited water resources, water management is essential for achieving a resilient and healthy campus. In this paper, we explain two targets in UGM water management: water efficiency and water conservation. Both objectives are significantly related; however, each goal has a different approach to the method for the design approach and strategies in the implementations. Water efficiency is included in building new buildings and retrofitting the existing ones. Meanwhile, water conservation is implemented to calculate potential alternative water resources in UGM, including water treatment, to produce freshwater as an additional water supply. We also explain how water management is implemented in UGM from the highest Directorate to the lowest units. Through our method and best practices in UGM, we hope our paper could be a reference for other universities who want to implement a water management program

Outdoor Micro-Climate Analysis of Green Buildings on Environmental Affects Using PALM Software

This paper aims to analyse the effect of green buildings towards the environment, which is currently affected by climate change and other problems. Two kinds of comparisons are analysed in this study; 1) A comparison between an area with conventional buildings and an area with green rooftops and 2) A comparison between green rooftops and green floors. Both conventional buildings and green rooftops have as much as 25% of green areas out of a total area measuring 200m2 x 200m2. The results showed that the best microclimate area is case 2 with an average potential temperature of 300.64 K. It has the best performance for potential temperature because of the balanced condition between H/W ratio (0.3) and solar radiation in the area. Case 1 has full width that produces good air circulation, but excessive distance between buildings also allows more solar radiation in the area. Moreover, every material has the ability to retain solar radiation (U-value) which affects the value of potential temperature. On the other hand, case 3 has a closer distance between buildings which results in zero air circulation between buildings and a higher temperatur

Analisis Kualitas Pencahayaan Menggunakan Pemodelan Numeris Sesuai SNI Pencahayaan, Data Pengukuran Langsung (On-Site) dan Simulasi

Sektor bangunan berperan secara signifikan pada konsumsi energi nasional. Pada bidang pencahayaan, umumnya sebuah bangunan komersial biasanya menghasilkan beban 20% - 45% dari konsumsi energi total yang dibutuhkan dari gedung tersebut (UNEP, 2006). Untuk memaksimalkan pemanfaatan beban energi yang sebesar itu, sistem pencahayaan harus memperhatikan faktor performansi dan kenyamanan visual yang dihasilkan. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk menganalisis kualitas sistem pencahayaan pada dengan studi kasus Hotel Novotel Yogyakarta pada ruang pertemuan dan lobi dengan tiga metode, yaitu dengan perhitungan numeris dengan dasar acuan studi Standar Nasional Indonesia (SNI) tentang pencahayaan, metode pengukuran langsung, dan simulasi komputer dengan menggunakan DIALux. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, nilai iluminansi rata-rata ruang pertemuan dengan perhitungan numeris 78,1 lux, pengukuran langsung 72,33 lux, dan simulasi 89 lux dengan nilai baku mutu SNI 300 lux. Nilai iluminansi rata-rata lobi pada malam hari dengan perhitungan numeris yaitu 49,05 lux, pengukuran langsung 48,02 lux, dan simulasi 70 lux dengan nilai baku mutu SNI 100 lux. Berdasarkan data tersebut diketahui bahwa nilai iluminansi rata-rata ruang pertemuan dan lobi pada malam hari belum berhasil memenuhi standar kenyamanan SNI. Nilai iluminansi rata-rata lobi pada siang hari yaitu dengan perhitungan numeris 151,3 lux, pengukuran langsung 91,37 lux, dan simulasi 222 lux. Hal ini berarti lobi pada siang hari berhasil mendekati standar kenyamanan SNI. Analisis perbandingan ketiga metode tersebut menunjukkan bahwa perhitungan numeris dengan dasar SNI dilakukan sebagai dasar dari perancangan sistem pencahayaan, simulasi dilakukan untuk memperoleh perhitungan yang optimal, dan evaluasi sistem pencahayaan dilakukan dengan pengukuran langsung di lapangan

SOUNDSCAPE KAWASAN: EVALUASI RUANG BERKELANJUTAN

Abstract: The density of major cities in Indonesia is the impact of the rapid development of the population. Increasing the population as well as their welfare make the residential and traffic environment in urban areas less healthy. Noisy, and air quality as the main indicators that can be felt to be very disturbing to the human environment. The sound quality perspective is one that is overlooked. Even though the government of the Republic of Indonesia has issued standard noise levels in Kep-48 / MENLH / 11/1996, evaluation and control of reality in the field is still lacking. The soundscape approach that is very concerned about the environment as a resource will be the most effective when applied in urban and regional planning. This paper aims to explore how sound impacts in providing an auditory experience in open space through a soundscape approach with case studies of open space or the court of the Great Mosque of Yogyakarta. This case can be an example of implementing a strategy to create peace of space in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. On the other hand soundscaping techniques become the needs of every city to do, and in particular there must be a spatial pattern that unites and adapts to each other between buildings, open spaces, vegetation, water elements and activities, so that the sustainability of a comfortable and calm space will last long. Keywords: space sustainability; noise; auditory experience; soundscapeAbstrak: Kepadatan kota-kota besar di Indonesia merupakan dampak perkembangan penduduk yang begitu cepat meningkat. Peningkatan jumlah penduduk sekaligus kesejahteraan mereka membuat lingkungan pemukiman dan lalu lintas di perkotaan semakin kurang sehat. Bising, dan kualitas udara sebagai indikator utama yang dapat dirasakan sangat mengganggu lingkungan hidup manusia. Perspektif kualitas suara adalah salah satu yang terabaikan. Sekalipun pemerintah Republik Indonesa sudah mengeluarkan baku tingkat kebisingan dalam Kep-48/MENLH/11/1996, namun evaluasi dan kontrol terhadap kenyataan di lapangan masih kurang dilakukan. Pendekatan soundscape yang sangat memperhatikan lingkungan sebagai sumber daya akan menjadi yang paling efektif bila diterapkan dalam perencanaan kota dan kawasan. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana dampak suara dalam memberikan pengalaman auditory dalam ruang terbuka melalui pendekatan soundscape dengan studi kasus kawasan ruang terbuka atau pelataran Masjid Agung Yogyakarta. Kasus ini dapat menjadi contoh penerapan strategi menciptakan ketenangan ruang di tengah hiruk pikuk kota. Di sisi lain teknik soundscaping menjadi kebutuhan setiap kota untuk dilakukan, dan secara khusus harus ada pola spasial yang menyatukan dan saling menyesuaikan antara bangunan, ruang terbuka, vegetasi, unsur air dan aktifitas, sehingga keberlanjutan ruang kawasan yang terkondisi nyaman dan tenang akan bisa bertahan lama.Kata Kunci: keberlanjutan ruang; kebisingan; pengalaman auditory; soundscap

Design of an Acoustic-Based Nondestructive Test (NDT) Instrument to Predict the Modulus of Elasticity of Wood

Modulus of elasticity (E) can predict the mechanical characteristics, as well as grade the quality of wood. The Destructive Test (DT) method is the more commonly used, where the wood sample is split up when being tested. This research used the NDT method based on the longitudinal stress wave method (LSWM) whilst utilizing handheld instruments. The calculated E-dynamic (Ed) from the NDT method was compared with the E-static (Es) from the DT method to validate the technique. Six different wood types were tested with ten samples of each kind. An average R-value of 0.898 was obtained, indicating a high correlation between the Ed values and Es values. The LSWM method requires reliable hardware and software to record the impulse response. It starts by hitting the wood with a hammer to create an impulse, finding the resonance frequency (f0), and later calculating the Ed. A more practical and easy-to-use handheld mobile instrument was developed using a Raspberry Pi-2 microcomputer as the signal processor, an LCD touchscreen, a USB soundcard, and a dynamic microphone that covers 0.1-5kHz and -64 ± 3dB. An internal telecommunication system is provided to support measurements conducted at lumber mills. The software includes band-pass filtering of the recorded spectrum where the f0 is depicted. A time-domain envelope fitting is then applied to the filtered spectrum to obtain the R2envelope. A low R2envelope value indicates an inadequate impulse response, and therefore, the test should be redon

Characterizing the Audibility of Sound Field with Diffusion in Architectural Spaces.

The significance of diffusion control in room acoustics is that it attempts to avoid echoes by dispersing reflections while removing less valuable sound energy. Some applications place emphasis on the enhancement of late reflections to promote a sense of envelopment, and on methods required to measure the performance of diffusers. What still remains unclear is the impact of diffusion on the audibility quality due to the geometric arrangement of architectural elements. The objective of this research is to characterize the audibility of the sound field with diffusion in architectural space. In order to address this objective, an approach utilizing various methods and new techniques relevant to room acoustics standards was applied. An array of microphones based on beam forming (i.e., an Acoustic Camera) was utilized for field measurements in a recording studio, classrooms, auditoriums, concert halls and sport arenas. Given the ability to combine a visual image with acoustical data, the impulse responses measured were analyzed to identify the impact of diffusive surfaces on the early, late, and reverberant sound fields. The effects of the room geometry and the proportions of the diffusive surfaces were observed by utilizing computer simulations. The diffuseness in each space was measured by coherences from different measurement positions along with the acoustical conditions predicted by objective parameters such as T30, EDT, C80, and C50. Noticeable differences of the auditory experience were investigated by utilizing computer-based survey techniques, given the current software auralization capabilities. The results based on statistical analysis demonstrate the users’ ability to localize the sound, and to distinguish the intensity, clarity, and reverberation created within the virtual environment. The impact of architectural elements in diffusion control is evaluated by the design variable interaction, objectively and subjectively. The effectiveness of the diffusive surfaces is determined by the echo reduction and the sense of complete immersion in a given room acoustics volume. The application of such methodology at various stages of design provides the ability to create a better auditory experience by the users. The results based on the cases studied have contributed to the development of new acoustical treatment based on the diffusion characteristics.PHDArchitectureUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.

Activity Based Smart Lighting Control For Energy Efficient Building By Neural Network Model

The goal of this research is to attain a smart control algorithm that can be used in a lighting system based on the activities of a building's occupants, using the neutral network model method. The study case of this research is the activities inside the Asrama Mahasiswa Kinanti UGM building. Control algorithm was built based on qualitative data from the occupants of the building, which were more or less the daily activities of the occupants. The results of the qualitative data will be essential in choosing a sensor and its placement. Several scenarios of activities represented by the combination of sensors' outputs are used as the control system input. The optimum illumination of the lighting system for these scenarios was produced through simulation using DIALux. An artificial neural network model was then developed and used as the smart control algorithm. Input for the neural network is the combination of sensor output and illumination output for each scenarios, given the simulation results. Based on the qualitative data acquired through a survey of the occupants' activities, the design of the lighting control system requires a system that uses occupancy sensors, weight sensors, photoelectric sensors, and photo sensors. The various positions and activities being done by the occupants are represented by the sensors output. A manual remote will be used to adjust the sensors regarding details that cannot be specifically detected. Ongoing specific activities inside the inhabited room gives off a system output. This scenario portrays the lighting conditions of the room, which includes the number of lights that are turned on or turned off. A smart control algorithm was developed using the backpropagation neural network model with 10 neuron inputs, the first hidden layer with 20 neurons, second hidden layer with 20 neurons, whilst the output layer has 5 neurons. The activated function for the first hidden layer is tan-sigmoid, for the second hidden layer is log-sigmoid, and the output layer is using pure linear. The training function uses trainlm. The MSE system's value is 2.72 x 10-8 with a larger R total value, which is 0.99892

ANALISIS KUALITAS PENCAHAYAAN MENGGUNAKAN PERMODELAN NUMERIS SESUAI SNI PENCAHAYAAN, DATA PENGUKURAN LANGSUNG (ON-SITE), DAN SIMULASI (STUDI KASUS: HOTEL NOVOTEL YOGYAKARTA)

Building sector has been a part of the huge national energy load in order to improve the conservation and energy efficiency. In lighting sector, generally a commercial building produces energy load 20% - 45% of total energy consumption needed (UNEP, 2006). With that huge energy load, lighting system must consider its performance factor and visual comfort produced. This research is to analyze the quality of lighting system at Hotel Novotel Yogyakarta in function room and lobby with three methods which are numerical modelling based on SNI of lighting, on-site measurement, and computer simulation using DiaLux. From the results of this research,it is concluded that the average illuminance in function room by numerical calculation is 78.1 lux, by on-site measurement is 72.33 lux, and by simulation is 89 lux, while the SNI�s value quality is 300 lux. Results of averege illuminance in lobby at night by numerical calculation is 49.05 lux, by on-site measurement 48.02 lux, and by simulation is 70 lux. Based on these results, we know that the average illuminance of function room and lobby at night have not managed to meet the visual comfort�s standards of SNI. Average illuminance in lobby during the day by numerical calculation is 151.3 lux, by onsite measurement is 91.37 lux, and by simulation is 222 lux. With these results, it�s known that lobby during the day have managed to meet the visual comfort�s standards of SNI. Comparative analysis of the three methods shows that numerical calculation based on SNI performed as the basis of a lighting system design while computer simulation performed to obtain an optimal calculation and evaluation is done by on-site measurement

ANALISIS PENGARUH GEOMETRI KUBAH TERHADAP KONDISI AKUSTIK MASJID A. R. FACHRUDDIN UMM MENGGUNAKAN CATT-ACOUSTIC

Mosque is central building for worship activities in Islamic community. There are similarities in terms of acoustic perspective, that the whole activities within will produce sound speeches or conversations. The existence of dome in the acoustic mosque space could potentially produce concentrated distribution of the sound energy. Acoustical comfort for each activity in mosque requires speech intelligibility as well as tranquil atmosphere for concentration in worship. Acoustic parameters used are T30, C50, C80, and RASTI. The acoustical quality prediction is produced by using computer modelling CATT-Acoustic. Numerical calculations were performed based on the hybrid method. Ring structures of dome modelling are varied by its height which are 1, 2, and 3 meters, thus the scenario analysis produced 6 models. The ring structure is part of mosque ceiling. Analytical calculations are performed to investigate sound ray reflections due to variations of the dome geometry. The model analysis is based on the investigation of ��/� ratio. Dome geometry produces focusing effect by ��/� ratio 0.74, 0.83, and 0.92, respectively for models 1, 2, and 3. Means of T30 models 1, 2, and 3 for congregational prayers are 2.6, 2.4, and 0 seconds. Means of T30 models 4, 5, and 6 for Quran recitation are 2.7, 2.3, and 0 seconds. Areas near mihrab are 14 � 6 ��, includes 4 � 5 first row produces poor quality of clarity. Clarity for congregational prayers, C50 are - 4.7, -4.6, and -4.1 dB, respectively for models 1, 2, and 3. Clarity for Quran recitation, C80 are -1.3, -0.7, and -0.8 dB, respectively for models 4, 5, and 6. The results demonstrate that increasing the height of the dome structure will produced better clarity and speech intelligibility, given the smaller T30 and the higher both of C50 and C80 values. Dome analysis helps establish criteria for good acoustic in mosque or other buildings with domed ceilings
