Coupling PCM wallboard utilization with night Ventilation: Energy efficiency and overheating risk in office buildings under climate change impact Tamer, Tolga; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Baker, Derek Keıth; Akgül, Çağla (2023-11-01) The rising population and increasing thermal comfort expectations are expected to exacerbate the already high HVAC use in offices, which unavoidably places a strain on energy supply systems. Storing thermal energy by incor...
Rebuilding Syria from the Rubble: Recycled Concrete Aggregate from War-Destroyed Buildings Rashwani, Abdulkader; Kadan, Bakry; Choubi, Sepehr Seyedian; Alhammoudi, Yousef; Hanein, Theodore; Guadagnini, Maurizio; Akgül, Çağla; Provis, John (2023-4-01) The ongoing Syrian civil war began in 2011 and has left more than 130,000 buildings destroyed, 70% of which are RC buildings. When the war is over, it is estimated that the millions of displaced refugees will return within...
Machine learning based evaluation of window parameters on building energy performance and occupant thermal comfort under climate change Akköse, Gizem; Duran, Ayça; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Akgül, Çağla (2023-1-01) This study aims to evaluate the effect of climate change on energy consumption and thermal comfort of an existing educational building and to use machine learning techniques for building performance improvement through pas...
Türkiye'de İlk Üç Boyutlu Yapay Resif Uygulaması Kalkan Tezcan, Evrim; Akgül, Çağla; Tezcan, Devrim (2022-11-02) Geleneksel yöntemlerde ya hazır bir materyal (doğal taş, uçak, gemi, tekerlek, vb) ya da kalıplara dökülen beton malzeme ile yapay resifler oluşturulmaktadır. Ancak süreç içinde resif oluşturması için bırakılan...
High temperature exposure of alkali-activated coal fly ashes Seyedian Choubi, Sepehr; Akgül, Çağla (2022-11-01) © 2022 Elsevier LtdThis study systematically investigates the impact of heat exposure on the performance of a wide range of alkali-activated coal fly ashes (AAF). Three low-Ca and three high-Ca coal fly ashes (CFAs) were a...
Impact of Urban Street Network on BIPV Generation Capacity of Buildings Duran, Ayca; Akgül, Çağla; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2022-10-11) 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 on...
Future performance evaluation of PCM integrated buildings under changing climate Tamer, Tolga; Baker, Derek Keıth; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Akgül, Çağla (2022-10-11) The high energy consumption and associated carbon emissions due to the heating and cooling of buildings create a heavy environmental burden. One of the cost-efficient solutions to reduce the heating and cooling demands i...
Use of coal ash cement stabilized material as pavement base material: Laboratory characterization and field evaluation Wiranata, Didi Yuda; Yang, Shih-Hsien; Akgül, Çağla; Hsien, Ho Yu; Nugraha, Muhammad Zilzaludin Putra (2022-08-15) © 2022Coal fly ash (CFA) and coal bottom ash (CBA) are coal combustion's primary solid waste products. This solid waste management is a substantial challenge for power plants and local authorities. In order to apply coal a...
Multiscale assessment of masonry materials from the roman imperial baths at Sagalassos Ergenç, Duygu; Türer, Ahmet; Degryse, Patrick; Torun, Ebru; Poblome, Jeroen; Akgül, Çağla (2022-7-01) The harsh environmental conditions, especially during the winter, resulted in the accelerated decay of the building materials, material losses, and serious structural problems in the Baths. This study explores the comprehe...
Compiling Open Datasets to Improve Urban Building Energy Models with Occupancy and Layout Data Duran, Ayça; Işeri, Orçun Koral; Akgül, Çağla; Kalkan, Sinan; Gürsel Dino, İpek (2022-04-15) Urban building energy modelling (UBEM) has great potential for assessing the energy performance of the existing building stock and exploring various actions targeting energy efficiency. However, the precision and completen...
