Abstract

This research explores the potential of local bio-composites made from bamboo and coconut fiber as sustainable building materials in Indonesia. The construction sector in Indonesia faces significant environmental challenges, particularly the high carbon emissions associated with conventional materials like concrete and steel. The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the environmental and economic benefits of substituting these traditional materials with bio-composites, using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and energy optimization simulations. The LCA methodology evaluates the environmental impact of bio-composites across their entire life cycle, comparing them with conventional materials in terms of carbon emissions, energy consumption, and waste. Energy optimization simulations focus on assessing the thermal performance and overall building efficiency when using bio-composites in construction. The main findings suggest that bio-composites exhibit a significantly lower carbon footprint and better thermal insulation properties than concrete and steel, contributing to reduced energy consumption in buildings. Additionally, the use of locally sourced materials like bamboo and coconut fiber offers economic advantages, such as lower transportation costs and support for local economies. The research concludes that bio-composites can serve as viable alternatives to traditional materials, providing both environmental and economic benefits. For successful adoption, the research recommends policy support, technological advancements, and educational initiatives to promote the use of bio-composites in Indonesia’s construction industry.
