Perancangan Gedung Kolaborasi UMKM Square Universitas Sumatera Utara dengan Pendekatan Arsitektur Hijau

Abstract

UMKM Square is a project designed to support the development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises at the University of North Sumatra, Medan. This project adopts a green architecture approach with the aim of creating a sustainable and environmentally friendly environment. The green architecture approach is implemented through the use of eco-friendly materials, efficient energy management, and the integration of green spaces in the building design. The results of this study indicate that the application of green architecture principles in the design of UMKM Square not only has a positive impact on the environment but also enhances the comfort and productivity of MSME actors. Additionally, the implementation of green design also contributes to reducing building operational costs through energy efficiency and proper waste management. The design of UMKM Square with a green architecture approach can serve as a model for the development of similar facilities in other regions and provide a tangible example of how sustainability principles can be integrated into the development of educational and commercial infrastructure.
