EMBODIED ENERGY ASSESSMENT OF THREE TYPES OF IRANIAN CLAY BRICKS AND COMPARISON OF THE EMBODIED ENERGY OF FIVE EXTERIOR WALL CONFIGURATIONS
Gharbi Oskouei, Aisan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-8-25)
Environmental considerations and future sustainability are among the significant factors that have been considered in the present century. In the company of various influencing factors, the building and construction side has a momentous role in this regard due to its large contribution in consuming resources and energy, in addition to the release of detrimental greenhouse gases. The embodied energy of different alternative materials that are more commonly used in the construction of exterior walls and other...
Embodied carbon assessment of residential housing at urban scale
Kayaçetin, Nuri Cihan; Tanyer, Ali Murat (2020-01-01)
A great majority of the previous research put extensive efforts on the evaluation of life cycle impacts and carbon footprint of single buildings. Analysis on single buildings often excludes components related with urban scale such as construction of infrastructure, distance to city centre and transportation. Research on neighbourhood-scale settlements is necessary to further develop the understanding of the environmental impact of built-environment.
Renewable energy promotion strategies of individual states and regional frameworks: a comparative approach
Şekerci, Almira Sinemis; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of International Relations (2017)
This thesis seeks to examine the importance of using renewable energy by using different promotion strategies, methods, technologies and policies among the different countries and regional frameworks in order to achieve a sustainable future. The main argument of the thesis is that contrary to the views of some scholars, who argue that it is the renewable energy potential of countries that is the key for the development of the renewable energy sectors, this thesis argues that it is mainly the renewable energ...
Smart Cities and the Idea of Smartness in Urban Development - A Critical Review
Husar, Milan; Ondrejicka, Vladimir; Varis, Sila Ceren (2017-06-16)
The concept of smart cities is becoming another mantra for both developing and developed cities. For instance, Indian government in 2015 announced its objective to build one hundred smart cities all over the country. They clearly stated that they are choosing smart development as the underlying concept for their future growth as a way to foster economic development in smart way to avoid the paths of rapid industrialization and pollution of cities as it took place in Europe and United States. The first of th...
