This research addresses the impact of the building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) solutions on the performance of a residential building with the area of 2247 m(2) at different regions of Coastal Anatolia. Three cities are chosen with respect to their solar heat gain as the lowest, highest and average. Hourly performances are calculated using the DOE software of Energyplus and installed peak PV power calculated as 84.2 kW. Our preliminary results showed that the annual heating and cooling energy consumption for the three locations vary between 1.44 kWh/m(2)-9.12 kWh/m(2) and 22.2 kWh/m(2)56.9 kWh/m(2), respectively. The cooling demand is much higher than the heating demand for these coastal locations of Anatolia (as expected). The maximum use of the three cities is 56.9 kWh/m(2) and according to results this load can be easily supplied by an 84.2 kWp PV. As these are preliminary results they can be treated within margins of +/- 20 kW depending on the orientation of the building facades and the type of the solar cells.

Assessing thermal comfort conditions: a case Study on the METU Faculty of Architecture building; the case of ODTÜKENT Çakır, Çağrı; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2006) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of environmental design parameters on thermal comfort conditions in the METU Faculty of Architecture Building located in Ankara. The building had some problems in terms of indoor climatic conditions, both in winter and in summer. It was evident that some design parameters caused this undesirable situation. The study therefore focused on understanding and evaluating the effects of design-dependent elements such as thermal mass, the size and orientation of win...
A net-zero building application and its role in exergy-aware local energy strategies for sustainability Kılkış, Şiir (2012-11-01) Based on two case studies, this paper explores the nexus of exergy, net-zero targets, and sustainable cities as a means of analyzing the role of exergy-aware strategies at the building and district level. The first case study is a premier building in Ankara that is ready to meet the net-zero exergy target. It is also the first building in Turkey to receive the highest Platinum rating in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. A net-zero exergy building (NZEXB) is a building that has an annual sum of ...
Assessing the airtightness performance of container-like buildings in relation to its effect on energy efficiency Bekboliev, Mirbek; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015) This study analyzes the effect of airtightness on the energy efficiency of single and adjacent containerized buildings, before and after refurbishment. It further gives an overview of air leakage problems found in the sample of prefabricated buildings manufactured and located in Turkey. The air leakage of standard container-like building depends on a number of factors like the age of the building, manufacturing quality and quality of assembly implementation. The airtightness of four typical containerized bu...
THE EFFECT OF HORIZONTAL IRREGULARITIES AND BASE ISOLATION CONFIGURATION ON SEISMIC RESPONSE OF RC BUILDINGS Yazıcıoğlu, Eylem Bilge; Caner, Alp; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Earthquake Studies (2022-2-22) This study aims to evaluate the effect of horizontal irregularities and base isolation configuration on the seismic response of reinforced concrete base-isolated buildings. A set of structural models with varying re-entrant corner geometric properties has been utilized to make evaluations with respect to square-symmetric ordinary form. In addition to this set, alternative models with non-uniform mass distributions in the plan have also been employed to expand the building set. Elastic response spectrum-base...
Rethinking the urban block in Turkey: A study with reference to siedlung typologies and perimeter housing Özyol, Betül Gül; Balamir, Aydan; Cengizkan, Ali; Department of Architecture (2002) Urban residential environments in Turkey from 1965 onwards are formed through the application of the detached apartment block In satellite towns, the point block dominates the housing environment. The prospect this type provides in formation of the public realm, variety of plan layouts for diverse occupants, is of vital importance and an issue of inquiry. This study aims at re-thinking the apartment block in Turkey, [its transformation from Kiraevi to the anonymous block, through the examples of two cases f...
