This paper focuses on the influence of occupant behavior on the energy performance of dwellings in the Dutch context. The aim of this study was to identify, how the energy performance of a dwelling is sensitive to the behavior of its occupants. To this end, the study's methodology adopted the Monte Carlo method of analysis, one of the most commonly used means of analyzing the approximate distribution of possible results on the basis of probabilistic inputs. Data related to occupant behavior were generated from a survey of 313 households in The Netherlands. The Dutch reference row house was used to test the behavioral patterns, and the test results were determined through simulation-based modeling. The key input parameters were presence, heating control patterns (thermostat and radiators), and ventilation control patterns (windows, grilles, and mechanical ventilation), while minimum indoor resultant temperature and heating energy demand served as the key output parameters. The results showed that both heating energy demand and minimum indoor resultant temperature were most sensitive to the thermostat setting and most robust in relation to the radiator setting.

Effect of meteorology and transport on particle concentrations and size distribution in Eastern Mediterranean atmosphere Uzunpınar, Elif Sena; Tuncel, Süleyman Gürdal; İmamoğlu, İpek; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-3-25) This study aims to examine the relationship between particle sizes and processes in the atmosphere and the effect of dust transport on particle size distribution. Number (0.2 μm to 32 μm) and mass (PM1, PM2.5, and PM10) concentrations were collected at rural (Mediterranean coast - Marmaris) and suburban (Central Anatolia - Ankara) stations between April 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018. The coarse particles were more dominant in the Ankara while the Marmaris contained relatively smaller-sized particles. The lo...
Measuring Dependence Between Electricity Consumption and Economic Indicators Via Copulas: Turkish Case Evkaya, Ömer Ozan; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-01-01) This paper implements copulas to identify the dependence structure between electricity consumption and its cofounding indicators. To achieve this, Turkish electricity demand, its economic and sectoral indicators are taken into account. As a first step, bivariate copulas are used to identify the best fitting copula and the degree of the dependence. Thereafter, multivariate model is established using vine copulas using highly correlated variables. The empirical results confirm the added value of the proposed ...
Effect of particle size and heating rate on the pyrolysis of Silopi asphaltite Altun, Naci Emre; Kök, Mustafa Verşan (Elsevier BV, 2003-5) This study comprises the effect of particle size and heating rate on the pyrolysis of Silopi, Turkey asphaltite by non-isothermal thermogravimetry. The TG/DTG experiments were performed at five different heating rates with three different size fractions from ambient up to 900 degreesC in nitrogen atmosphere. The pyrolysis characteristics of the samples were analyzed using TG/DTG curves. Also, the pyrolysis kinetics of the samples were determined using the Arrhenius type kinetic model and ASTM methods. Resul...
Impact of Covid-19 outbreak on Turkish gasoline consumption Gungor, Bekir Oray; Ertugrul, H. Murat; Soytaş, Uğur (2021-05-01) This paper investigates the effects of Covid-19 outbreak on Turkish gasoline consumption by employing a unique data set of daily data covering the 2014-2020 period. Forecast performance of benchmark ARIMA models are evaluated for both before and after the outbreak. Even the best-fit model forecasts fail miserably after the Covid19 outbreak. Adding volatility improves forecasts. Consumption volatility increases due to the outbreak. Policies targeting volatility can reduce adverse impacts of similar shocks on...
Effects of Solvents on Dissolution of Photoresist in Parylene Microchannels Koydemir, Hatice Ceylan; Külah, Haluk; Özgen, Canan; Tosun, İsmail (2012-06-21) This paper presents a study for the effects of different types of solvents on dissolution of photo resist inside the parylene micro channels. Theoretical and experimental studies were carried out to model the dynamic behavior of the dissolution. In this account, dissolution rate expressions were derived by taking into account the reaction of resist with the solvent. Micro channels with a cross section of 15 mu m x 50 mu m were fabricated by encapsulating photo resist inside the parylene layers and using gla...
