Construction sector has a great potential to reduce total energy consumption through the techniques applied in sustainable projects. All over the world, policy makers have already realized the potential and begun setting some governmental goals. Since new regulations for achieving sustainability have been recently set to change the conventionally practiced administrative patterns in construction sector, the number of claims related to sustainability features of the construction projects has been growing ever since. Construction contracts are playing a critical role in preventing these types of legal and administrative risks that can lead to claims. As a result, these changes have caused a need for some alterations in industry's contractual practices.

MODELING AND SIMULATION OF A COMBINED SYSTEM OF MULTIPLE ROOFTOP PV SYSTEMS AND A CENTRAL ENERGY STORAGE SYSTEM FOR METU ANKARA CAMPUS Köker, Nesrin Irmak; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; Özden, Talat; Department of Earth System Science (2022-9-01) Climate change, increasing energy demand, and natural resource depletion lead to a rapid trend in the adaptation of renewable energy technologies. Especially solar energy as the most abundant source, accompanied by decreasing system prices and increasing social acceptance, rooftop photovoltaic systems became one of the most common small-scale energy generation practices. However, renewable energy resources, solar energy exclusively, create imbalanced energy production throughout the day and year. Energy sto...
Utilization of soda and beer wastes in cementitious systems Aleessa Alam, Burhan; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Cement Engineering (2009) To maintain the sustainability of cement and concrete production, there is a trend to use wastes in their production. Soda waste, generated by soda ash production process, and beer waste, generated by beer filtration process, are two locally produced wastes in Turkey and many other countries. The nature of these wastes, mostly their fineness, makes them possible to be used in concrete production, especially as a viscosity modifying agent in the self consolidating type of concrete. In this study, the additio...
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 ...
Arayüz Dönüşümü: Gelecekteki İnsan-Bina Etkileşimleri Topak, Fatih; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (2021-01-01) Binalar, dünyadaki toplam enerji kullanımının yaklaşık %40'ından sorumludur ve bu oran, araştırmacıları yapı sistemlerinin işletilmesi ve kullanılması için yeni yollar üzerinde çalışmaya iten ciddi çevresel kaygılara yol açmaktadır. Akıllı binaların birçok yenilikçi özelliğe sahip son teknoloji ürünleriyle donatılı olacağı değerlendirildiğinde, akıllı binaların insanlarla arasındaki etkileşimlerin geleneksel binalardan farklı olacağı öngörülmektedir. Uzun yıllar boyunca, basit mantık ve fiziksel ara yüzleri...
Use of Geospatial Queries for Optimum Drilling and Blasting Practices in Surface Mining Erkayaoğlu, Mustafa (2018-11-22) Increasing demand of the modern society for energy and raw material strengthens the role of mining in sustainable development. The basic production cycle of surface mining is initiated by drilling and blasting the material that will be loaded, hauled, and dumped by various mobile equipment. Performance measurement and analysis of all these production stages by the utilization of available technology is of crucial importance for continuous improvement of modern mine operations. Today, most of the mobile equi...
