Medan City has 2 landfill sites, Namo Bintang and Terjun. However, Namo Bintang Landfill was closed in 2013 by the Medan City Government. Namo Bintang Landfill is planned to be reopened to receive Medan City waste. The waste management will focus on the solid waste in the Namo Bintang Landfill that applies the Green Architecture which is focused on the Principles of Energy Efficiency and Conservation. The design method starts from a direct site survey, then data collection by observation, documentation, literature review, and comparative studies of similar projects that will be analyzed to produce a concept of design of waste to energy management area at the Namo Bintang Landfill. Combustion of waste into alternative electrical energy that can meet the electricity needs of the community. The process of waste to energy starts by burning waste at very high temperatures, then transfer the heat, and by used turbin, transformed it into the energy. The steam which drives the turbines - creates surplus heat which can be used for district cooling and heating, electricity, also recovered clean water, construction material, and valuable metals from the waste. This is the approachable solution in the field of energy, ecology, and sustainable environment.
