Problem

Indonesia is a tropical country where heat is one of the problem we face everyday. By using Air Conditioning, we are able to alter the temperature of our room, office, classroom, etc to a desirable temperature (Preverable lower temperatures ranging from 16-24 degrees celcius). Air Conditioning has been one  of the contributing problems to climate change and air pollution. By using less air conditioning and answering this problem through architectural design and modern cooling technology that has yet to be used in architecture.

Concept

Reusing and redirecting 3 sources of energy throughout the whole house and achieving passive cooling for the house.

1. Heat: Absorbing and redirecting the heat of the sun using water that flows throughout the whole house, flowing from top to bottom and pumped back to the top of the house. By understanding the laws of thermodynamics and the usage of the water cooling technology most frequently seen in electronic technology such as computers, laptops, and phones.
2. Light: Indirect sunlight that should be used for indoor lighting, using various panels and shades to diffuse the direct sunlight and provide a softer light for the user despite the wide shade  provided by the roof.  By adding solar panels to maximize the energy intake from the sunlight, generating electricity that later be used at night to power the house.
3. Wind: By redirecting the flow of the wind and understanding the Bernoulli effect, and incorporating it in architectural design will provide passive cooling and natural ventilation throughout the housing complex.
