The aim of the study is to establish optimum building aspect ratios and south window sizes of residential buildings from thermal performance point of view. The effects of 6 different building aspect ratios and eight different south window sizes for each building aspect ratio are analyzed for apartments located at intermediate floors of buildings, by the aid of the computer based thermal analysis program SUNCODE-PC in five cities of Turkey: Erzurum, Ankara, Diyarbakir, Izmir, and Antalya. The results are evaluated in terms of annual energy consumption and the optimum values are driven. Comparison of optimum values and the total energy consumption rates is made among the analyzed cities.

Energy benchmarking for residential buildings
Tereci, Aysegul; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Eicker, Ursula (2013-05-01)
The impact of the urban form on the energy demand of buildings is difficult to quantify as, usually, the mutual shading of buildings in urban settings is not included in dynamic building simulations. As a result, there is not much information available on how the total primary energy demand is affected by the specific urban form.
Application of Artificial Neural Networks onBuilding Energy Estimation
Altun, Murat; Ersöz, Ahmet Bahaddin; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Pekcan, Onur (null; 2017-12-11)
Abstract -The decision makers in the building design stage need to give more importance for energy efficient solutions to improve the performance the building in its operational phase. In practice, they are expected to generate alternative designs in the early design stage and use complicated building simulation tools to estimate building energy use of these alternatives more accurately; however, this is a time-consuming procedure and it is difficult to evaluate different alternatives in the limited time of...
Sound power level prediction in ducted heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems
Yayladere, Cemil; Çalışkan, Mehmet; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014)
The aim of this study is to develop user friendly software to predict and analyze noise levels in enclosed spaces due to Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) System. Sound sources and transmission mechanisms are investigated by the prediction formulae and data originated from research studies and standards. For the analysis portion of the software, through the implementation of HVAC elements, sound power levels at the ventilation system outlet are obtained. General software structure is explaine...
Thermal transmittance assessment of building walls by using in-situ infrared thermography
Sayın, Murat; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2019)
The main concerns of the study are the thermal transmittance (U, Wm-2K-1) assessment of building walls by quantitative analyses of surface temperature data obtained by infrared thermography (IRT) and the identification of thermal failure types in terms of measurable parameters. Mainly six types of non-insulated and insulated wall compositions belonging to three different buildings were examined. The actual thermal performances of the walls (UINSITU) determined with in-situ quantitative IRT (QIRT) was assess...
Performance Assessment of Turkish Residential Buildings for Seismic Damage and Loss Estimation
Un, Elif M.; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2015-04-01)
This study aims to present an integrated method in a probabilistic manner for seismic performance assessment of Turkish residential buildings, which can be used as a tool to estimate earthquake losses due to structural damage. In particular, the objective is to determine the performances of different types of residential buildings for predicting the potential seismic loss in terms of casualties (death toll) for a highly populated city in northwestern Turkey. The main phases of this study are seismic hazard,...
