Human-Building Interactions in Intelligent Built Environments

2019-10-25
Buildings are responsible for about 40% of total energy use in the world, and this rate leads to serious environmental concerns that have triggered researchers to work on new ways of operating and utilizing built environments. On the other hand, technological advancements in sensing, control, actuation and information systems not only have opened up new possibilities and challenges for architectural, engineering and construction industry, but also enriched the forms of interaction between the built environments and people. With the drive towards reducing energy consumption of buildings and enhancing occupant comfort, there lies a significant potential in augmenting human-building interaction with digital capabilities. This research concentrates on exploring the extent of human-building interaction in intelligent built environments and potential research directions in this field.

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...
Parameterization of built environment for wind resource assessment
Sakçak, Şafak; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2018)
Use of wind power for energy generation in urban areas is gaining importance considering the energy consumption and environmental impact behaviors of built environments. Therefore, assessment of urban wind resource is crucial. The study of air flows in cities is also related to other concerns as natural ventilation, air contamination and pedestrian comfort. Two of primary research topics proposed in feasibility studies for urban wind energy are improvement on the understanding of urban wind flows with devel...
A data-driven approach for predicting solar energy potential of buildings in urban fabric
Duran, Ayça; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2022-7)
Energy-efficient buildings that use clean and sustainable energy sources are urgently needed to reduce the environmental impact of buildings and mitigate climate change in cities. Buildings have great potential in harvesting solar energy by their solar exposure capacity. Developments in PV technologies also encourage the integration of PV systems into architectural applications. However, urban contexts can limit solar energy generation capacity of buildings by shading building envelopes and reducing availab...
Life Cycle Assessment with BIM Towards Sustainable Energy Policy-Making: The Case of Urban Transformation in Istanbul
Yayla, Alperen; Kayalica, Mehmet Özgür (2021-10-01)
Buildings are responsible for almost forty percent of global energy. Due to their high consumption of energy, buildings are on the front line of sustainability researches. In Turkey, six million out of twenty-two million buildings need to be demolished and rebuilt to meet seismic standards. These buildings are also far below the standards in terms of energy efficiency. Therefore, urban transformation can be thought of as a great opportunity for energy efficiency. This stud...
Sıcak-Nemli̇ İkli̇mde Çi̇ft Kabuk Cephe Enerji̇ Performansının İncelenmesi̇
Göksal Özbalta, Türkan; Yıldız, Yusuf (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2019-9-25)
In buildings, which have a significant share of energy consumption, the proper construction and design of the building envelope is an important issue on all countries due to environmental problems and energy supply. Therefore, controlling the heat loss/gain from the building envelope is an inevitable necessity when considering the increasing building stock in Turkey. Reducing the amount of energy consumed in both new and existing buildings leads to new environmental and climate-sensitive approaches. Double ...
