Abstract

Abstract. One of the efforts to protect the environment is to follow the Kyoto Protocol, Paris Agreement, and conferences related to global warming. The tangible manifestation of this issue is that buildings have begun to pay attention to the concept of sustainable architecture by changing single-use energy to renewable energy. The purpose of this paper is to find out how much energy can be saved by co-living buildings that apply passive design and solar photovoltaic systems using the EDGE application. The research method used is a quantitative method by paying attention to the calculation of EDGE energy and the total of solar photovoltaic. This paper concludes that the co-living buildings can be categorized as an energy-efficient building with the use of photovoltaic and with a passive design system. Then the building can be classified as an advanced energy-efficient building with an energy saving of 47% and a break-even point of 216 days. The novelty of this paper is that the use of EDGE application that can determine the amount of energy savings that is very significant in communal residential buildings in Indonesia.
