One aim of sustainable design may be, “to protect important resources such as energy from depletion and the reduction of the release of poisonous gasses, such as CO2 , to the atmosphere”. For this purpose, buildings which are a major cause of energy resource wastage must be designed in such a way to avoid such energy losses. In developing countries like Turkey, where much energy is exported to satisfy her needs, necessary methods of energy reduction were required. Thus regulations such as the TS 825 (Turkish Standard) updated in 2008, had to be forwarded that dictated the following of a maximum U-Value (Thermal Transmittance) that satisfied different building envelope elements. In Turkey, energy losses occurred in the industry, building, transportation, and agriculture sectors with the building sector contributing to much of the losses. This paper deals with the temperate cold dominated climate of Ankara, which necessitated the construction of buildings that have to consume less energy to heat their interiors. Thus conservation of space heating constituted a major requirement of achieving energy efficiency. This paper investigates the building envelope of an apartment floor (three flats) in Etlik district in Ankara. The investigation consisted of a study of three different options of walls with different configurations and three different options of windows with different properties. All options were simulated using an energy oriented software, Design Builder, with the results documented and analyzed in the conclusion.

Literature review on BIM-based building energy performance optimization Can, Esra; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi; 2020-11-14) Buildings comprise a large part of global energy consumption and make a significant contribution to overall CO2 emissions in the world. Therefore, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings becomes a priority to reduce these undesirable effects. Building energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems as the energy performance is affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climate conditions, daylighting levels, and HVAC system usage schedules. This complica...
Parametric analysis of BIM-based building energy performance for supporting multi-objective optimization Can, Esra; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-5-11) Building energy efficiency comes into prominence as buildings constitute a significant portion of world energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To achieve energy-efficient buildings, energy performance assessments should be conducted meticulously, yet it is difficult to comprehensively estimate the buildings’ energy consumption since energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems that are affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climatic conditions, daylight ...
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...
GIS-based site selection methodology for hybrid renewable energy systems: A case study from western Turkey Aydin, Nazli Yonca; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Renewable energy sources are presently being considered as alternatives to fossil fuels, because they are perpetual, environmentally friendly, and release negligible amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere while producing energy. A disadvantage of renewable energy systems, however, is that continuous energy generation is not possible by using only one type of renewable energy system, since renewable energy resources depend on climate and weather conditions. Two or more renewable energy systems can be ...
An Approach for improving energy efficiency in a commercial building with learning consideration and availability constraints Çiçek, Cihan Tuğrul; Meral, Fatma Sedef; Department of Operational Research (2014) Energy efficiency applications are increasingly becoming more popular as available natural resources such as natural gas and fossils have been running out. In this study, we address the scheduling problem of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system of a commercial building with a supporting automation system that controls the energy resources so as to increase energy efficiency. We formulate the problem as a multilevel generalized assignment model to obtain the schedule for the HVAC syste...
