Designers should operate an effective strategy to increase the possibility of creating sustainable built environments. This paper aims to evolve a framework that is composed of the sustainable interior environment issues acting as the basis that contribute positively to humans' well being through the efficient use of site, energy, water and materials and resources in the built environment. The C-K theory, which defines the design process as an interaction between the space of concepts (C) and the space of knowledge (K), is suggested as an innovative approach to design practice. Using morphological analysis with the cross-consistency assessment technique, all compatible relationships, with their assigned values, are determined. Further, the study prioritizes the components of a sustainable interior environment into most important, moderately important or least important and ranks them from highest to lowest. This study proposes an innovative approach to interior design practice that incorporates sustainable characteristics to the built environments.

Institutional framework for urban development with co-benefits: the Indian experience Doll, Christopher N. H.; Dreyfus, Magali; Ahmad, Sohail; Balaban, Osman (Elsevier BV, 2013-11-01) The co-benefits approach has been proposed as a means for mainstreaming environmental concerns into urban development, especially in developing countries. This paper reviews the Indian situation setting out the urban-environmental challenge. National policies related to urban development, climate change and specific sectors are examined and then, with the aid of cases, analysed to understand the strengths and weaknesses of generating co-benefits in the world's second most populous country.
Preventing claims in green construction projects through investigating the components of contractual and legal risks Mohammadi, Sahra; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2016-12-15) 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 eve...
Developing a structural optimization software for efficient and practical optimum design of real-world steel structures Korucu, Aytaç; Hasançebi, Oğuzhan; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-8-10) Structural engineers have to design not only safe and practical buildings in a reasonably short period but also guarantee that the design generated should be cost-efficient. However, the design of real-world structures in a traditional way is an extremely laborious and time-consuming task, and final designs are often uneconomical. In this study, a computationally efficient, design-driven optimization technique (Guided Evolution Strategy Optimization, GES) is developed for the optimal design of real-world st...
A robust time-cost-quality-energy-environment trade-off with resource-constrained in project management: A case study for a bridge construction project Lotfi, Reza; Yadegari, Zahra; Hosseini, Seyed Hossein; Khameneh, Amir Hossein; Tirkolaee, Erfan Babaee; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2022-01-01) Sustainable development requires scheduling and implementation of projects by considering cost, environment, energy, and quality factors. Using a robust approach, this study investigates the time-cost-quality-energy-environment problem in executing projects and practically indicates its implementation capability in the form of a case study of a bridge construction project in Tehran, Iran. This study aims to take into account the sustainability pillars in scheduling projects and uncertainties in modeling the...
Understanding supplier sustainability performance: The role of dependence and relational capital Akın Ateş, Melek; Güleryüz, Atakan; Güleryüz, İrem; Arslan, Ataberk (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2019-12) With increasing stakeholder pressure to improve sustainability performance, firms focus on understanding how buyer-supplier relationship characteristics play a role in encouraging or jeopardizing supplier sustainability efforts. In this study, we examine how buyer-supplier dependence and relational capital affect the environmental and social performance of suppliers. We adopt an embedded, multiple-case study design, and examine five large buying firms in Turkey and their multiple suppliers at the dyadi...
