Indonesia as an emerging country and one of the biggest countries in the world,
requires large infrastructure development. Therefore, with the increase of
development rates in Indonesia, emissions produced from buildings also increasing.
In fact, Indonesia is the third top producer of greenhouse gases in the world. One
of the solutions, as a civil engineer, is applying the Green Building as our method
in the construction project to reduce the GHG emissions. However, Green Building
in Indonesia is categorized as new method and not as popular as in Taiwan.
Therefore, this study brings the comparison between the Taiwan and Indonesia
Green Building rating system to show the difference between both rating systems.
The comparison will be in qualitative analysis and have two-layer comparison. First
layer comparison consists of general aspects and weightings to give an overview of
both rating system.
For the detail comparison will be shown in the second layer
comparison, where there will be five topics to compare both system, which are
Energy saving, Water Saving, Material saving, Site Selection and Outdoor
Environment, and Indoor Environment. Also, there will be an example of case study
to give clearer difference between both rating systems. From the comparison study,
can be concluded that Indonesia Green Building tools have broad scope but assessed
not very detail and some unclear criteria compare to Taiwan. Thus, by carrying this
comparison study between Indonesia and Taiwan Green Building tools, suggestions
will be provided to Green Building Council Indonesia for improvement.
