Smart Integrated Housing Complex (SIMPLEX) Based On Carbon Capture and Engineering Wood Products to Achieve Net Zero Emission Building

Abstract

In an effort to support the achievement of SGD, especially pillar No.13 (Climate Change), the existence of a technological model that enables to reduce negative impact of carbon emissions is one of the prerequisites for supporting the sustainability of life on Earth. To answer these challenges, this paper aims to introduce the idea of carbon capture technology in residential called SIMPLEX (Smart Integrated Housing Complex). This idea aims to introduce the use of engineering wood products as one of the innovative solutions to combat the adverse effects of carbon emissions. SIMPLEX is arranged in a housing complex inside there are Transparent Wood, Transparent Nano paper, Wind Turbines, Structural Applications, Water Treatment, and Energy Storage Devices. In the end, consideration of the negative impacts of SIMPLEX and the need for regulations supporting the implementation of SIMPLEX at the public level is conveyed. The SIMPLEX idea will also initiate the achievement of zero carbon emission building in Indonesia. In contrast to efforts to reduce carbon emissions by using alternative energy approaches and mobilizing the use of electric cars, efforts to reduce carbon emissions through a residential management approach based on carbon capture technology is a breakthrough that overlooked by Indonesian policymakers.
