Abstract:
Sliding Sudare has a big potential to be developed considered its high effectiveness in minimizing building energy consumption while still maintaining its visibility quality. Meanwhile, its original blinds that is made of bamboo cannot withstand extreme weather and have a short lifespan. Therefore, this research is to investigate the effectiveness of the other material alternatives namely stainless steel, plastic, and natural fiber. A scaled model is used for prototyping the materials in the shape of bicycle spokes, PLA+ (3D printer filament), and bamboo slats as the blinds. These everyday objects were tested in terms of their physical characteristic and were measured by four parameters (security requirement, weather resistance, construction process, and cost-effectiveness). From the research, it was concluded that bicycle spokes has the highest overall performance with the highest advantages in weather resistance requirement, cost-effectiveness, and construction; whilst PLA+ and bamboo slats have the least overall performance though both have high advantage in terms of security requirement.
Research Methodologies:
This research employed a method of Sliding Sudare automatic kinetic system that have been formulated in the previous study (Hariyadi 2017). This prototyping process aims to measure the feasibility of, evaluate, and identify issues that might appear during the Sliding Sudare production, specifically concerning its material selection. The resulting prototypes will undergo an evaluation based on several parameters referring to Huang, Liu, and Liang (2015)’s important aspects of material selection, namely (1) security requirement, (2) weather resistance, (3) construction, and (4) cost effectiveness. A more detailed explanation of these parameters is provided in the latter part of the manuscript.
Result & Conclusion:
Bamboo slats, PLA+ 3D Print Filament, and bicycle spokes were tested as Sliding Sudare alternative materials. Four parameters were used to evaluate those materials using prototyping method. Based on the analysis and discussion, it can be concluded that bicycle spokes has the highest overall performance with the highest advantages in weather resistance requirement, cost-effectiveness, and construction; whilst PLA+ and bamboo slats have the least overall performance though both have high advantage in terms of security requirement.
