Dense settlements in urban areas are one of the problems in DKI Jakarta. RT.03 / RW.01 Kel. Petukangan Utara, Kec. Pesanggrahan Jakarta Selatan is one of the densest settlements in DKI Jakarta which is located side by side with Universitas Budi Luhur. Based on SNI 03-1733-2004, the level of population density in the region is included in the category of High Density. This can be seen from the houses lined up along the road with little provision of Green Open Space. The community develops the need for building area by maximizing the area of land for building. This impacts the lack of air circulation in accordance with SNI-14-1993-03 about the thermal comfort area of buildings which are conditioned for Indonesians, as well as the lack of lighting in accordance with SNI 03-6575-2001 regarding illumination standards for the light of a room.With thermal comfort and illumination that is not in according to standards in the region, a Community Service activity was held by the Faculty of Engineering of the Universitas Budi Luhur to add community knowledge about how to make thermal comfort and illumination in homes using energy efficient. Thermal comfort can be fulfilled by making vertical greening on limited land, While the comfort of illumination can be fulfilled by using LED lights. The activity uses community empowerment methods, so that the community can independently make vertical greening in their respective homes and know the benefits for thermal comfort and can use LED lights in their respective homes and know the benefits to save electricity. The results of the Community Empowerment Towards Energy Saving Settlements at RT.03 / RW.01 Kel Petukangan Utara Kec. Pesanggrahan Jakarta Selatan, is that the region has vertical greening as a natural air conditioning system and uses an LED lighting system as an energy efficient lighting.
