“…Some countries have their way of coping with the tidal flood, which should be considered the best way to tackle the issues in their nation. For example, in Japan, one of the mitigation measures was to build underground spaces, which were dedicated to coping with the flood in Tokyo and to other needs [36]. The Netherlands constructed many dams to prevent seawater from entering the lowlands, created by the combination of dunes, barriers, dam construction, and urban planning.…”

Tidal floods and land subsidence often occur in the coastal areas of Semarang, Central Java. The coastal area of Semarang has an essential role in the economy of the city of Semarang, especially the Port of Tanjung Emas. Research with a multidisciplinary approach is expected to obtain conclusions on technical and non-technical problems to prepare mitigation measures and reduce the risk of tidal flooding. This study aims to determine and analyze the impact of tidal flooding in the city of Semarang using a multidisciplinary approach. The data used for the analysis came from literature studies and field observations. This research method is descriptive analysis. The results showed that the tidal flood caused damage to infrastructure, houses, and other public facilities. This damage makes the infrastructure not function optimally. Other impacts the community feels are disruption of economic activities, lower productivity, and increased maintenance costs, thereby reducing overall community income. Therefore, tidal flood prevention is needed from all stakeholders, both individually and collectively.

“…The saving of built-up area on the ground is often indicated as the main and the single advantage of underground buildings. Many disadvantages are highlighted [9,10]: lack of fresh air-the need for a mechanical ventilation system; darkness-the requirement of artificial lighting [11]; the risk of obtaining rapid and safe evacuation due to landslides and flooding (especially during earthquakes) [12]; no view through the windows; closed and limited space-claustrophobic problems; expensive construction and maintenance; expensive and complex repairs [9]. Increased air humidity, cold, and mould are often mentioned.…”

Investigation of Thermal Energy Accumulation Using Soil Layer for Buildings’ Energy Efficiency

The cold climate countries require high energy consumption for buildings’ heating. According to EU directives and national law, buildings’ energy efficiency is increasing due to higher investment in the sector. Primary energy consumption for space heating still comprises a large part of global energy consumption. It is essential to develop technological solutions and innovations to reduce energy consumption by using newer, smarter, more natural energy generation and accumulation. The soil layer could be used as a natural material for thermal energy accumulation. The soil’s temperature is higher than atmospheric air in the heating season and is lower in the non-heating season. Underground buildings placed in a soil medium could use less thermal energy for buildings’ heating and cooling during its life cycle. The impact of the wind is eliminated in this underground building case. As the soil temperature rises, the difference in temperature of the building’s inside air and the soil decreases. This means that the heat loss into the soil generates the conditions acting against the heat loss. However, heat spreads further and dissipates in the surrounding soil medium. The analysis of this research results showed that the savings in energy could reach 28 percent in the case of the underground building. Heat loss to the soil could be treated as the charge of the soil by thermal energy. The charging by heat and heat dissipation in the soil was researched experimentally. The dependence of the intensity of the charge on time was analysed and presented in this paper also.
