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.
