Is Green Construction a Quid Pro Quo Solution?

Expanding construction development is a two – sided knife for Indonesia. It is the

main requirement for Indonesia to become an advanced country. Economic growth of a
country highly depends on its construction development. Industrial and residential
constructions lead to the creation of job fields and increasing gross domestic products. On the
other hand, construction development possesses ecological threat to citizens of Indonesia.
many current natural disasters which occur in Indonesia are mainly caused by its continuous
development. Commented [kva1]: Introduction of the discussion text

Every construction such as residence, factory, skyscrapers, and other building always
has ecological cost. The construction process requires huge amount of construction materials
taken from the nature. Continuous exploration of construction materials such as sand and
timber cause rapid depletion of their reserve in the nature. The existing constructions are
responsible for the depletion of 10% of fresh water reserve, 25% of timber and 40% energy
and materials from the earth. Every one skyscraper established costs approximately a hectare
of soil and contributes to the 15% of landslide possibility.

Those exploration of construction material and expanding construction eventually

lead to disastrous impact. In addition, natural disasters cost human life and economical
impact. Flood, landslide, air pollution, river contamination are the examples of the hazardous
impacts of construction which disregards its ecological impacts. Every one skyscraper
established costs approximately a hectare of soil and contributes to the 15% of landslide
possibility. Commented [kva2]: Overview of the issue

Those adverse effects of construction are currently being mitigated. One of the efforts
is the invention of green construction technology. Green construction technology is currently
developed to efficiently use construction materials, to use eco – friendly material, and to
employ sustainable construction design. Some construction experts argue that it is able to
save the environment from the threat of expanding development. While others argue that the
technology is not well – developed and too costly to be implemented. Commented [kva3]: Intruduction of the opposing point

Conclusion
Apakah Hijau Konstruksi sebuah Quid Pro Quo Solusi?

Perluasan pembangunan konstruksi dua - pisau sisi untuk Indonesia. Ini adalah
syarat utama bagi Indonesia untuk menjadi negara maju. Pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu
negara sangat tergantung pada pengembangan konstruksi. konstruksi industri dan
perumahan mengarah pada penciptaan lapangan kerja dan peningkatan produk domestik
bruto. Di sisi lain, pembangunan konstruksi memiliki ancaman ekologis untuk warga
Indonesia. banyak bencana alam saat ini yang terjadi di Indonesia terutama disebabkan
oleh pembangunan terus-menerus.

Setiap konstruksi seperti tempat tinggal, pabrik, gedung pencakar langit, dan
bangunan lainnya selalu memiliki biaya ekologi. Proses konstruksi memerlukan sejumlah
besar bahan bangunan diambil dari alam. eksplorasi terus menerus dari bahan bangunan
seperti pasir dan kayu menyebabkan menipisnya cadangan mereka di alam. Konstruksi
yang ada bertanggung jawab atas menipisnya 10% dari cadangan air tawar, 25% dari kayu
dan energi 40% dan bahan dari bumi. Setiap biaya mendirikan salah satu gedung pencakar
langit sekitar satu hektar tanah dan berkontribusi terhadap 15% dari longsor kemungkinan.

Mereka eksplorasi bahan bangunan dan memperluas pembangunan akhirnya

menyebabkan dampak bencana. Selain itu, bencana alam biaya kehidupan manusia dan
dampak ekonomis. Banjir, tanah longsor, polusi udara, pencemaran sungai adalah contoh
dari dampak berbahaya konstruksi yang mengabaikan dampak ekologi. Setiap biaya
mendirikan salah satu gedung pencakar langit sekitar satu hektar tanah dan berkontribusi
terhadap 15% dari longsor kemungkinan.

Efek-efek yang merugikan dari konstruksi saat ini sedang dikurangi. Salah satu
upaya adalah penemuan teknologi konstruksi hijau. teknologi konstruksi hijau saat ini
dikembangkan untuk digunakan secara efisien bahan bangunan, menggunakan eco -
material yang ramah, dan mempekerjakan desain konstruksi berkelanjutan. Beberapa ahli
konstruksi berpendapat bahwa ia mampu menyelamatkan lingkungan dari ancaman
memperluas pembangunan. Sementara yang lain berpendapat bahwa teknologi ini tidak
baik - dikembangkan dan terlalu mahal untuk dilaksanakan.

Green Architecture may be eco–friendly to the environment, but Green Architecture buildings have
some disadvantages. Therefore, Green Architecture buildings are commonly known to be hard to
build. Green Architecture only depends on sun for energy, so the buildings that used Green
Architecture will need sunlight to provide energy, therefore this kind of buildings cannot be built on
the place that has low sun energy. The materials for this building are also known to be quite
expensive and hard to find especially in urban areas where preserving the environment is not the
people’s first option. So shipping these materials can then cost a lot than a standard building, for
example, Wool Bricks that needed to be obtained by adding Wool and a natural polymer found in
seaweed. So in order to get wool bricks, we need to ordered it and it will take more time to make
and deliver it and of course, more cost.
