AGUNG Abstract The opening of Halim Perdanakusuma International Airport as a commercial airport in Jakarta on January 2014 has caused many social, environmental, and economic impacts. The most crucial issue that resulted in social impacts is the inclination of airplanes passengers or people who frequently use airplane as the first choice of an efficient air transportation nowdays. That social phenomenon could also be leading into an advanced environmental impacts such as the inclination of cooling load consumption or air conditioner consumption in airports terminal building in order to create a comfortable room temperature for passengers and airports worker. The inclination of cooling load consumption is resulted from the heat transfer gaining through buildings component. If that condition continues to happen, the economic issue in terms of high electricity consumption price will be emerged as the consequences of high cooling load consumption. Contrary to the facts, Halim Perdanakusumas Terminal Airport until this day has not yet been built by using a passive design principles or passive electrical energy conservation method related to ecological footprint and capacity of passive electrical energy-used issue, eventhough that airport has been dealing with an environmental issue that need to be solved immediately by implementing that passive method in order to transforming Halim Perdanakusuma Airport into a sustainable or ecological airport (eco-airport) that can be contributed to a social, environmental, and economic developments. This research uses a quantitative method and approach with ratio number or scale that planned to be doing in several phases. In the beginning phase, researchers will be doing a measuring activities of cooling load consumption and calculating airports heat transfer, then continued to constructing passive design models, analyzing airports ecological footprint, and the last is simulating the capacity model of passive electrical energy-used. This eco-airports research will also produce a capacity model of passive electrical energy-used as an output that can be contributed to many stakeholders including local government and airports manajement in order to helping them to be able to configure, develop, and implement an eco-airports standard or instrument of cooling load consumption in airports terminal building. The expected result of this research would be to reduce the cooling load consumption so that the electricity consumption price can be standing in a low value and another expected result is to minimize the scarcity of fossil energy, global warming phenomenon, air polluttion, and infection of humans precipitation.
