Good home construction should pay attention to energy efficiency. Construction of energy efficient homes in tropical Indonesia is not as complicated as home construction in subtropical countries, as there is no extreme seasonal change. Energy requirements for lighting, insulation, ventilation, air conditioning, and others are not as big as homes in countries with four seasons. Energy efficiency can be maximized by using natural daylight lighting, proper lighting layout, energy-efficient lighting, ventilation and wall insulation, non-heat-absorbing roofing, and the use of energy-efficient electrical appliances.

In the design of energy-efficient homes, including all environmentally-friendly building designs, by minimizing the use of non-renewable energy and optimizing the utilization of natural energy. The limitation of natural resources makes the construction of energy efficient homes become increasingly relevant from now on.
