Development recommendations for energy-efficient landed-housing in Bintan Island, Indonesia.

This paper presents recommendations for developing sustainable landed housing on Bintan Island, Indonesia. It addresses the need for energy-efficient housing to reduce resource consumption and environmental impact within the region's tropical climate. The authors propose a three-tiered framework encompassing territorial planning, building design, and material selection. Recommendations integrate bioclimatic and green architecture principles, focusing on passive design, renewable energy, and locally appropriate, eco-friendly materials to achieve a balance between environmental integrity, social needs, and resident wellbeing.
