He further explained Griya-Modular in which developed with an environmentally friendly concept. It uses a green roof system based on a wetland roof or green roof planted with halophyte vegetation integrated with green space, wastewater treatment, and building supervision. While the lighting system uses natural lighting and LED lights that are environmentally friendly with solar panel generators, the application of the Griya-Modular concept can save a relatively high cost of around Rp. 18 million per year from savings in the use of clean water and electricity.
Other parties, Leiden, also obtained the achievement in third place for the same competition. The team consists of Marco Hadisurya, Ayu Wulansari, and Arisandi Sanjaya Putra. They carried the idea of using tile waste and bagasse ash as a substitute for cement.
