PHYSICAL FEATURES OF GREEN BUILDING HOUSES CYBERJAYA
to measure the characteristics of green buildings by the GBI, the six characteristics given focus (Zuo and Zhao, 2014). Six such features comprise energy efficiency, water efficiency, material efficiency, indoor air quality, planning and site management and innovation. To facilitate the discussion of this paper, the characteristics of green buildings as recognized by GBI to Masjid Cyberjaya will be discussed in three main areas: energy efficiency through modern technology, efficiency through passive technology and efficiency of building materials.
A) Energy Efficiency via Modern Technology in building
technology modern use in different forms to improve efficiency related to green building mosques Cyberjaya. The use of modern technology includes three characteristics, namely the generation of energy from solar panels, the use of VRF system technology and the use of energy-efficient LED lighting technology.
Solar panels are used to generate renewable energy for the mosque. A total of 740 solar panels have been used as the roof of the mosque. In addition, Masjid Cyberjaya also use modern technology VRF air conditioning systems to improve energy efficiency (Masjid cyberjaya, 2016). VRF system refers to the ability of automated systems to control the internal temperature of the building compared with open systems and closed (on / off) used in the operation. The system allows up to 55 percent energy savings in the operation of the air conditioner. This affects the operating cost savings to the mosque. To further improve the efficiency of energy use, the air conditioning system of the Mosque of Cyberjaya will be turned on for two hours at certain times such as during Friday prayers, the prayers and the prayers of Eid al-Adha and Ramadan celebrations (Masjid cyberjaya, 2016). For the purposes of efficiency lamps, LED lamps installed in the system is centrally controlled and intelligent. The lighting system also features automatic detection so it's a waste of electricity can be avoided and also for ease of maintenance.
B) Efficiency through passive building technology
passive technology in building related to the use of elements of nature such as air and water efficient or elements recycled in the building , Passive technology in Cyberjaya mosque consists of three characteristics, namely rainwater harvesting, water recycling and natural ventilation.
The mosque has the features of water use efficiency. Underground reservoirs built to collect rainwater harvesting and water for their ablutions. Next, the collected water is used to water the plants around the mosque and also to use the toilet. In addition, pool covered with glass that is placed in the chamber provides a cooling effect to the congregation. The flow of water will give you a sense of inner peace and meditative effect to the congregation (Mohd Faizal, 2016) it.
(Figure 1) Meanwhile, the roof glass dome has been placed in the main prayer hall. The glass panels allow light to penetrate, providing natural light for the interior of the mosque. The walls are built of GRC wall panel (Figure 2). GRC panel features a transparent design and pattern. Features design promotes three functions, ie natural air flow, maximizing heat regulation entered the mosque and natural lighting. In order to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, the fans and the natural lighting is used.
In addition, the temperature in the main prayer hall can be reduced when the hot air released through the ventilation vanes located under the dome. For purposes of maintaining the interior temperature and ventilation, a rectangle planted with trees has been created in the hall.
C) Efficiency in the Construction Materials
Materials and resource efficiency involves the use of materials obtained from sources that are sustainable and recycling , There are two characteristics of the efficiency of the building materials used in the mosque. First, the building materials will be identified and labeled as green products. Construction of the mosque was done by the use of concrete mixed with fly ash, a kind of recycled material that is added during the process of making concrete for the building. In addition, green products are also used in the packaging of goods of architectural, electrical installation and mechanical installation.
Second, the use of construction materials which reduce the transfer of heat. For example, a glass panel mounted on the dome using two layers of low emission glass panels (Low Energy). This panel is also designed with patterned iron chain, which also serves to provide thermal insulation and prevent heat from radiating directly into the Masjid (Figure 3). Tre Grassy and shady
