Abstract

Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems often suffer from significant energy wastage due to their inability to adapt to real-time environmental changes, leading to high operational costs. Although Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers are widely used for their simplicity and reliability, they struggle to handle the complex dynamics of modern environments, requiring advanced optimization to enhance efficiency. This study aims to optimize PID controllers by integrating the Queen Honey Bee Migration (QHBM) algorithm to improve HVAC performance, energy efficiency, and adaptability. The research method employs an experimental approach that compares the performance of conventional PID controllers with PID controllers optimized using the QHBM algorithm under dynamic environmental conditions. The results show that the PID-QHBM system significantly outperforms the conventional PID system, achieving a rise time of 0.2649 seconds and a settling time of 1.6874 seconds with an almost negligible steady-state error of 9.4991e-08. Although it experiences a slight overshoot of 16.3810%, the system stabilizes quickly and maintains the target temperature efficiently. In contrast, the conventional PID controller exhibits slower response characteristics, with a rise time of 1.3730 seconds, a settling time of 2.5144 seconds, and a larger steady-state error of 0.0361. This study demonstrates that integrating the QHBM algorithm into PID controllers provides a more effective solution for real-time temperature control, offering substantial improvements in energy efficiency and system performance. The findings contribute to advancing intelligent HVAC control systems that can better adapt to environmental variations while minimizing operational costs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the residential spatial system of the Marori and Mengge ethnic groups in Wasur Village, Merauke, South Papua, in the context of their involvement in the eucalyptus oil industry as a leading tourism product of Wasur National Park. A rationalistic qualitative approach is used with the main theory of behavioral setting to examine the relationship between behavior, local culture, and spatial structure. The results of the study indicate that houses not only function as domestic spaces, but also as places for the production of eucalyptus oil, especially at the packaging stage. The overlapping use of space causes space invasion, changes in function, and the emergence of high spatial flexibility. The space of the house undergoes a temporal functional transformation, adjusting to the intensity of economic activities and cultural rituals of the community. Private, semi-public, and spiritual spaces experience shifting boundaries, which have an impact on social relationship patterns and living comfort. This study also found that social structure, customary values (Boan/marga), and division of customary areas play an important role in the formation of the spatial system. These findings are expected to be an important contribution to the development of residential architecture based on behavior and local wisdom, as well as community-based conservation area management. This study also highlights the urgency of preserving the culture and existence of indigenous tribes amidst the current of modernization and the threat of extinction.

Abstract

The use of building materials plays a crucial role in determining the quality of the built environment, particularly in the context of row housing in densely populated urban areas. This study aims to evaluate the types of materials used in the construction of row housing in Cemara Asri, Medan, with a focus on sustainability and environmental friendliness criteria. The methods employed include direct site surveys and literature studies related to the characteristics of both interior and exterior materials applied to housing units. The research findings indicate that most of the materials used—such as red bricks, ceramic tiles, clay roof tiles, and concrete ventilation blocks—possess good energy efficiency and durability potential. However, they do not fully meet sustainability standards in terms of production processes and waste management. The study also found that residents' awareness of environmentally friendly material selection remains limited, and the procurement of materials tends to follow local availability and economic considerations. These findings are expected to serve as a foundation for improving environmentally friendly material planning in row housing developments in other urban areas.

Abstract

This research aims to address the issue of uneven bandwidth distribution in large organizational networks by implementing Quality of Service (QoS) using FIFO and the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) algorithm on Mikrotik routers. Uneven bandwidth distribution can disrupt productivity and operational efficiency. This study creates a fair and efficient traffic management system, allowing bandwidth allocation according to user needs. The methodology involves detailed configuration of Mikrotik RouterOS to optimize QoS with adjusted HTB settings. Testing was conducted using IPerf3 to measure bandwidth variations received by clients in different conditions, including scenarios with two and three active clients. The results indicate that the HTB method provides more stable and consistent bandwidth distribution compared to FIFO. In the two-active client scenario, the unused bandwidth by the third client is allocated to higher priority clients, demonstrating HTB's effectiveness in managing traffic priorities. This research is expected to enhance user satisfaction by providing a network that is both stable and responsive to the needs of various operational applications, and contribute significantly to the development of best practices for bandwidth management in complex organizational environments.

Abstract

In the agricultural sector, the automatic identification of chili pepper varieties is crucial for improving production efficiency and quality. This study developed a chili pepper variety detection system based on characteristics using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The PCA method was used to reduce the dimensionality of chili pepper image data, thereby facilitating the classification process while retaining the key features necessary for chili pepper variety identification. The recognition system for chili pepper identification involves inputting chili pepper image data into a computer. The computer then interprets and identifies the chili pepper variety, and the test data utilizes a dataset of chili pepper images from various varieties. The research results indicate that the proposed system achieves a high level of accuracy in detecting and classifying chili pepper varieties. Consequently, this system can assist farmers and agricultural industry stakeholders in the chili pepper sorting and selection process, thereby improving operational efficiency and the quality of the harvest.

Abstract

This research aims to design and develop a simple Dino-themed game based on a microcontroller, with the display using an I2C LCD. The game is inspired by the offline Dino game on Google Chrome, adapted to run on an Arduino Uno microcontroller. The research method used is Research and Development (R&D), consisting of stages such as needs analysis, system design, simulation using Wokwi, hardware assembly, programming, and testing. The system uses push buttons as input and a 16x2 I2C LCD as the output display. The testing results show that the system can respond quickly to user input and display character movement and score updates dynamically on the LCD screen. Although the graphical capability of the LCD is limited, the game runs well and successfully demonstrates the basic concepts of microcontroller programming as well as interactive input-output processing. Further development is recommended to enhance the graphical interface and add features such as sound effects and progressive difficulty levels.
