Abstract

The object of the research study focuses on the concept of low-energy architecture in the Sasak Senaru Traditional Architecture (SSTA). The first stage of the study was carried out relevant literature studies as material for analyzing low-energy living buildings on SSTA. The analysis was carried out descriptively to produce elements that support low energy criteria. Testing low energy elements using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the weight of the priority elements of traditional low energy SSTA architectural design. The research results obtained are important factors in the SSTA design (bale/traditional house, berugak, and geleng/barn) in Traditional Village Senaru, where low energy conceptors are site design factors (orientation and land cover/pavement, geo-biological disturbances, vegetation, topography and type of land, and guardrail) that are integrated in the green concept based on suitability and carrying capacity of the site and landscape.
