“…Natural ventilation is becoming the key feature for energy efficiency strategy to achieve thermal comfort in the tropics. Studies have revealed that in hot humid climatic regions can accommodate high temperature and adequate comfort can be achieved through natural ventilation [1]. By making buildings that are energy efficient, it also helps in terms of low operating costs so that residential prices become even more affordable.…”

One of the goals of Sustainable Development goals is sustainable cities and communities. Making cities sustainable means creating career and business opportunities, safe and affordable housing, and building resilient communities and economies. One of the goals of sustainable cities and communities (SDGs 11) is by 2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums. Because the level of housing needs in Jakarta is quite high with limited land available, housing prices soar, this is inversely proportional to the high level of poverty in Jakarta so that many people make illegal and slum settlements to overcome the lack of funds they have. One way to achieve this target is to apply bioclimatic architecture to realize sustainable buildings with affordable operational costs so that the housing built becomes affordable. One way to save energy is to use natural ventilation. This paper presents a study of the application of bioclimatic architecture that can provide good air circulation created using natural ventilation. Natural ventilation is the process of exchanging air inside the building through the help of open building elements. This research is motivated by the current development of cheap apartment architecture in Indonesia which does not support good natural ventilation, people are starting to build something that benefits the market and ignores the importance of good air circulation. Therefore, the promotion and application of natural ventilation as part of low-cost energy consumption and avoiding the sick building syndrome with good air circulation, especially after the corona virus pandemic, is an important issue. The research method used is descriptive quantitative method, in the form of research with a case study and simulation approach. The result achieved is that the building can optimize natural ventilation evenly through orientation, building shape, opening design, etc.

“…Better air quality has been specifically assessed by the condition of the CO2 level in the room [9] [10] [11]. People in tropical-humid climates have been more receptive to high-temperature conditions and feel quite comfortable through NV [12]. This brings an opportunity for NV to be added to MV in buildings as an energy-saving strategy.…”

Green building has aspects which one is referred to the energy efficiency. Energy consumption is mainly due to mechanical ventilation (MV) therefore it is the key to building energy efficiency. The utilization of hybrid ventilation (HV) by incorporating natural ventilation (NV) into the ventilation system has the potential to save energy. Humid tropics has high temperature and humidity causing uncomfortable thermal condition. It poses a challenge to utilize ventilation systems in this climate effectively. This study examines the potential of HV in humid tropical climates related to research methods and HV strategies applied. The literature review was carried out on a number of papers Scopus based indexed which investigated HV extensively associated with humid tropical climates. Some references were collected from several sources to find case studies. Only several studies were conducted on HV in humid tropical climates. Mainly the research was carried out on thermal comfort, efficiency, and HV strategies with a numerical simulation that focuses on improving NV capabilities.
