The Implementation Of Solar Refelective Technology To Reduce House Temperature And Urban Heat Island Impact: A Case Study In Pangandaran Indonesia

Ana Ramdani Sari, Beta Paramita

Abstract


Handling Urban Heat Island is very important and requires good collaboration between government, industry, educational institutions, and the community. This article aims to explain the process and results of implementing solar reflective technology (Rafflesia) as an effort to reduce house temperatures and the impact of urban heat island based on a pilot project resulting from cooperation between government, industry, and educational institutions. This study uses participatory action research and quantitative methods. In this study, initial analysis was done along with the residents and locals, an implementation plan in the form of renovating residents' houses and painting solar reflective roofs, as well as measuring house temperatures before and after implementation. This pilot project itself was carried out in Pangandaran Regency. The measurement results showed that there was decrease in temperature of 8.5OC to 22.1 OC and energy efficiency of up to 20%. With a decrease in room temperature and a decrease in energy consumption, this project shows good results and can be implemented in other homes to provide a wider and more significant impact on reducing urban heat island.
