nowadays, sustainability has become an important issue in any development project, including area development. Thishappen because the area development requires space, in this case land. As people developing land, it damages theenvironment. It means there will be less balance between built environment and natural environment. This calls forconcern in urban sustainability. One of the ways to restore the balance is to reduce as much land as possible to be builtby maximizing the space. This paper will explore the multiple space use in terms of mixed-use development in differentlevel and also assess mixed land use implementation, which include the concept of diversity in urban sustainability

The types of window, either permanent or impermanent will influence the building thermal profiles. Natural ventilation is one of technique to create passive cooling design in the building. It can improve the quality of indoor air, thermal comfort and reduction of energy consumption for air conditioning. In this present work, a study on the type of natural ventilation and the effect to thermal building performance was conducted. There are two types of natural ventilation as main variable in this study, top hung window and jalousie window. To develop the study, a simulation used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) also conducted. One natural ventilation as outlet also added in the simulation. Based on the data measurement and computer simulation, jalousie window can provide better thermal performance. The range of difference between indoor air temperature on the chamber with jalousie window and chamber with top hung window is 0.2°C to 0.5°C, showing greater heat loss. The average of amount on the indoor air flow also was found 0.0317 m/s higher in the chamber with jalousie window. Particularly in the inlet, it was clear that the velocity of incoming air flow is faster and significantly allowed greater air with lower temperature entered from outside to inside.
