Many countries developed methods for the definition of houses with a very low energy use in the past years, among which Passive House represents a dwelling with extremely thermal insulated external envelope, good air tightness and highly efficient ventilation heat recovery to reduce energy consumption of buildings greatly depending on the location. This paper is carried out to see if it is possible to design tunnel-form structures as Passive House buildings. Also in this paper, construction of a Passive House in Turkey is discussed considering several perspectives such as applicability of Passive House principles, use of modern technologies, role of public authorities and developing pilot projects in energy efficiency. The research found out that the Passive House Standard could be met in the tunnel form housing unit in Ankara, assuming that the building is thermal bridge free. 82% and 73% reductions could be achieved respectively in annual heating demand and in heating load of the case building. In addition to that 57% reduction in primary energy demand which covers the space heating, cooling, DHW and household electricity and 53% reduction in the CO2 emissions could be obtained.

Application of TS 825 Turkish thermal insulation standard using BIM Altun, Murat; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı (2019-04-17) Thermal insulation offers an efficient passive solution to provide energy savings in the buildings. In Turkey, TS825 “Thermal Insulation Requirements for Buildings” standard regulates the thermal performance of the buildings.In current practice, the energy requirement of a building is calculated manually according to geometric data andthermal properties of the elements on the building envelope. Geometric data is extracted from 2D drawings,whereas materials forming the layers of the exterior building element...
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 ...
Investigation of the effect of outdoor temperature data on the building heating energy requirement and validity of the TS 825 degree-day region clustering Altun, Murat; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Akgül, Çağla (2020-01-01) The outdoor temperature is one of the most important parameters affecting the calculation of energy requirements of buildings. Determination of the thermal insulation details and heating energy requirement of the buildings in Turkey, where energy consumption is dominated by space heating, is made according to TS 825 "Thermal Insulation Rules in Buildings" standard. In TS 825, the provinces are clustered in degree-day regions (DDR) according to their climatic conditions. The main climatic parameter that sepa...
Proposal of a Novel Gravity-Fed, Particle-Filled Solar Receiver JOHNSON, Evan; Baker, Derek Keıth; Tarı, İlker (2016-10-14) Solar Thermal Electricity power plants utilizing solid particles as heat transfer and storage media have been proposed by several research groups, with studies citing benefits of increased thermal efficiency and lower cost. Several types of solid particle receivers have been proposed, with leading designs consisting of particles falling or suspended in air. A new solid particle receiver is proposed here, consisting of a receiver fully packed with particles flowing downward with gravity. Particle flow rate i...
An investigation into the age-based thermal energy balance of occupied classrooms in primary schools Taner, Özün; Düzgüneş, Arda; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008) The effect of indoor heat gain from occupants as a bio-thermal source was hypothetically assessed in terms of its contribution to overall heating requirements during such occupancy and hence to potential energy savings. The spaces considered were classrooms in a sample of 6 public co-educational primary schools located within the city limits of Ankara built after 1998, the date when compulsory primary education was integrated to encompass grades 1 through 8 for ages 6 to 14, respectively. Being so, this all...
