Abstract

This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the Jowata architectural concept, designed as a net zero building through the integration of multiple renewable energy systems. Located in Kota Baru Parahyangan, Bandung, the design incorporates passive, active, and renewable energy strategies, focusing on solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, wind turbines, and pico hydro systems to meet the building’s energy needs. Comprehensive simulations, including Global Horizontal Irradiation (GHI) and wind speed analyses, were conducted to optimize the placement and efficiency of these technologies. The Jowata Grid System, supported by the local energy grid, achieves a 71.5% renewable energy offset, resulting in annual CO₂ emissions savings of approximately 23,987 tons. The building's Energy Use Intensity (EUI) is significantly below regional benchmarks, demonstrating the efficiency of the design. This study highlights the effectiveness of combining various renewable energy sources in achieving net zero emissions and offers a blueprint for sustainable building practices in similar climatic regions.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market has driven a global shift towards sustainable transportation solutions, with two-wheel electric vehicles (2W-EVs) playing a pivotal role in emerging economies like Indonesia. This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption of 2W-EVs in Indonesia, focusing on user behavior, charging preferences, and market dynamics. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys with qualitative interviews to gain a comprehensive understanding of consumer attitudes and preferences. The findings reveal that home charging is the preferred method for the majority of users, primarily due to its convenience and cost-effectiveness. However, significant barriers such as range anxiety, insufficient public charging infrastructure, and high upfront costs are impeding widespread adoption. The study also explores the complex interplay of market dynamics, including the influence of government policies, infrastructure development, and economic conditions on the 2W-EV market in Indonesia. Based on the analysis, this paper offers recommendations to accelerate 2W-EV adoption, including the expansion of charging infrastructure, cost reduction strategies through subsidies and incentives, and increased consumer education. The research concludes that while 2W-EVs have the potential to significantly contribute to Indonesia's sustainable transportation goals, achieving widespread adoption will require coordinated efforts across multiple sectors.
