Home grown vertically
This is usually done for those who mempuyai land so narrow that there is no choice but to build upwards.

Home grown horizontally
Performed by those who have enough land area so there is still enough space to develop the house as needed.

Determine the amount of the funds will be used
Consult / design your home in a design that was intact in accordance with the wishes (regardless of existing funds)
Sort the aggregated parts which will be a priority for the first built.
Determine the pattern of development / construction phase in so no need for the job apart pairs in the continuation of development at a later stage.
Try to use professional services because of the gradual development / growth there are some things that should be designed with the calculation of the strength and spatial structures that exist, for example:
Building foundations, should be considered whether to terraced houses or not (grow vertically or horizontally).
The main structure (Sloof, columns, rings, beams and the possibility of a concrete slab) should really be assessed against the power structure, especially when for-storey house (vertical growth), not only with the formula “usually strong” but should really be technically counted.
Design layout that mature so that the adequacy of funds in the first stage really can optimally be applied with spatial development.
Apart from that non-technical terms that must be considered:
And adequacy of funding sources should also be taken into account, lest we build the first phase as well as the last stage alias quit.
The possibility of a rise in material prices is significantly
Look for power that really understand its technical problems, or at least there is power to be the foreman in building schools and technical understanding.

19 percent of electricity consumption in offices in the world comes from lighting.Therefore, this lighting efficiency will have a big impact for reducing carbon emissions resulting from electricity production process.
Savings that can be reached by reducing the frequency of electrical power and lighting sourced by utilizing the stun efficient lighting technology. Utilization of such lamps can reduce electricity consumption assessed from the lighting sector to 40 percent.
Now this technology of LED lights to be the most appropriate solution for these types of lights have a large light intensity but low power consumption. In addition, it should also be noted about the house lights. ”Design the right house lights can maximize the spread of the light so there is no spread in vain,”
The maximum electrical efficiency if consumers are increasingly combining the use of artificial light with natural light from the sun.

For office buildings, a combination of 30 percent and 70 percent natural light artificial light has been very good,”
Trends in the use of energy-efficient lighting and natural light has now penetrated Indonesia. Users not only great shops and offices, but also the public sector

The building is covered with plants shown to affect the microclimate surrounding environment. The heat down. Parks became a natural roof insulation. Solar radiation absorbed by plants. Gas processing plant pollutants into oxygen. Rainwater can be collected, absorbed, and flowed into the pipes and sink into the wells of water absorption.
