Kamoy, Leyla
Required illumination levels in an electronics manufacturing facility were studied in order to provide feedback for architects and engineers. The study was carried out for the production floor of an electronics company in Ankara. The space considered was a Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) and Surface Mount Device (SMD) production department. The selected area was subdivided into different areas according to required illumination levels for each year. These levels were determined according to the specific work types over the total area according to each individual department. Data compiled by the field survey was analyzed and evaluated for investigating the relation of the potential effectiveness of the lighting systems regarding time, together with illumination levels needed for specific work areas. Changes in the sizes of areas needing various illuminance levels over past years were analyzed. It was found that there had been a decrease in the total required illumination levels.

The way architectural model as a new collaborative design environment talks with machines
Özkan, Sevda; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008)
The scope of this study is to illustrate the relationship between computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) systems, and to show how architectural modeling should be positioned in the process of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. The integration of computer aided technologies with architectural design is investigated in terms of design-production/fabrication interaction. The research has been based on a case study in which the CAD/CAM process from ...
The effect of sun spaces on temperature patterns within buildings: two case studies on the METU campus
Kırmızı, Hacer; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2009)
The aim of this study was to investigate the passive and active parameters affecting energy efficiency of two office buildings with sun spaces, namely the MATPUM Building and the Solar Building on the Middle East Technical University (METU) Campus, Ankara and the effect of sun spaces on temperature patterns within mentioned buildings. Both buildings were oriented in the same direction, namely south. However, the location and the type of the sunspaces differed from each other. The sun space in the MATPUM Bui...
Assessing risk management maturity : a framework for the construction companies
Öngel, Begüm; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2009)
Due to its complex nature, risk and uncertainty are more widespread in construction industry than many other industries. Aiming to ensure that all project objectives are met, risk management is considered as a critical success factor for construction projects. The core elements of risk management are now known and used by many organizations. On the other hand, as declared by Project Management Institute (PMI), the ability to measure the effectiveness in managing risk is one of the most important areas that ...
An investigation into the age-based thermal energy balance of occupied classrooms in primary schools
Taner, Özün; Düzgüneş, Arda; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008)
The effect of indoor heat gain from occupants as a bio-thermal source was hypothetically assessed in terms of its contribution to overall heating requirements during such occupancy and hence to potential energy savings. The spaces considered were classrooms in a sample of 6 public co-educational primary schools located within the city limits of Ankara built after 1998, the date when compulsory primary education was integrated to encompass grades 1 through 8 for ages 6 to 14, respectively. Being so, this all...
A study on tall buildings and aerodynamic modifications against wind excitation
Ilgın, H. Emre; Günel, Mehmet Halis; Department of Architecture (2006)
The purpose of this thesis is to create basic design guidance for tall buildings and their aerodynamic modifications as a resource for architects, engineers, developers, and students. It aims to make a contribution to and strengthen particularly the architect̕s understanding of tall building design, that requires a high level of interdisciplinary approach, by providing a broad overview of the أtall buildingؤ with its general concepts; to demonstrate the importance of human element as a critical component in...
