Climate change necessitates a critical reconsideration of the built environment since buildings are among the top fossil fuel consumers. Solar energy generation through building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems is one of the most common onsite energy generation methods. However, many factors regarding urban morphology can negatively affect BIPV generation. Urban block typologies and spatial patterns are commonly studied descriptive metrics of an urban morphology that affect the solar energy potential. Similarly, the street network pattern is a measure of the spatial quality of an urban environment. Although various urban morphology indicators have been extensively studied in relation to solar energy potential, a comparative analysis of urban fabric focusing on street network patterns is also needed. In this study, four representative urban areas with different morphological characteristics are studied. The selected morphologies are parametrically modelled and compared with different building height configurations. A comparative analysis of BIPV generation capacity per square meter façade or roof area is presented. Urban areas without a dominating street network pattern have resulted in greater PV generation on facades, whereas the impact of urban morphology was found negligible for roof PV potential. The findings of this research have the potential to aid in urban planning and architectural design decisions, as well as the efficient use of BIPV systems in diverse urban morphologies.

Modeling of enhanced coalbed methane recovery from Amasra coalbed in Zonguldak coal basin
Sınayuç, Çağlar; Gümrah, Fevzi; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2007)
The increased level of greenhouse gases due to human activity is the main factor for climate change. CO2 is the main constitute among these gases. Subsurface storage of CO2 in geological systems such as coal reservoirs is considered as one of the promising perspectives. Coal can be safely and effectively utilized to both store CO2 and recover CH4. By injecting CO2 into the coal beds, methane is released with CO2 adsorption in the coal matrix and this process is known as enhanced coal bed methane recovery (E...
Effects of short and long term storage systems on size determination of renewable energy systems in micro-grids
Al-Ghussain, Loiy; Taylan, Onur; Baker, Derek; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-6)
Energy resources and global warming are two of the most important concerns for the whole world, where the necessity of finding clean and cheap energy resources have high priority nowadays. Renewable Energy Systems (RES), such as PV power plants and wind turbines, have the ability to meet the demand of the world; however, the energy generation of these kind of systems does not fully match with the electrical energy demand. Having a diversity of RESs with Energy Storage System (ESS) will increase the matching...
Influence of renewable energy on carbon prices in the USA.
Coşkun, Hilal Esi; Selçuk Kestel, A. Sevtap.; Department of Financial Mathematics (2019)
In this study, the decrease in carbon prices is explained with increasing incentives to renewable energy sources and with economic growth, energy prices and carbon permits. For this purpose, we analyze the carbon market prices in the US for energy markets. Carbon prices are low in the US compared to other countries. The reason behind the low price can be increasing incentives to renewable energy resources in the USA. To explore the reasons and justifications, we employ econometric methods on real life data ...
Impact of climate change on the existing residential building stock in Turkey: An analysis on energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and occupant comfort
Gürsel Dino, İpek; Akgül, Çağla (Elsevier BV, 2019-10-01)
With the growing need for residential buildings as a result of population growth, the building sector is a high-priority area in climate change due to its large share of CO2 emissions, the significant energy saving opportunities it represents, and the increasing expectations for occupant comfort. This paper presents the results of climate change impact assessment on a typical mid-rise residential building in four representative cities with different climatic characteristics in Turkey. Three different scenar...
Impacts of climate change on water resources on eastern mountainous region of Turkey
Güventürk, Abdülkadir; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Civil Engineering (2013)
Temperature and precipitation are the most important indicators of climate change. Especially for the basins fed by snow, the shifts of melting to earlier times, affects the streamflow. Increase in temperature causes to shifts of melting of snow to shift to earlier times so that hydrologic regime of the river system changes, and leads to changes in climatic conditions of the region. In this study the shifts of snow melting times are analyzed for the selected 15 streamflow stations located in Euphrates, Tigr...
