A study on different dynamic solar shading control strategies using multi criteria design optimization

2016-10-15
The correct design of shading devices that control the amount of daylighting entering a building is an integral part of performative building design. Solar control devices have the potential to reduce building cooling load, improve the daylighting performance and reduce the negative effect of glare in building spaces. Solar shading design strategies, therefore, need to consider multiple criteria together and find an optimal tradeoff between them. This paper presents our experiments on different solar shading control strategies that respond to various external conditions such as cooling rate, solar radiation incident and glare. We use a design tool that optimizes building energy use and daylighting. The tool implements a multi-criteria genetic algorithm coupled with an energy simulation tool in the design of the sizes of building openings. We investigate various shadings and their control types that are activated with various solar orthermal conditions in the environment. We implement Pareto-based comparative analyses and report their effect on building energy and daylighting performance. The results suggest that correct shading devices drastically contribute to building performance, but the control strategies should be carefully selected to be able to satisfy all design criteria.

An investigation into building occupant behavior of different household typologies in architecture
Erol Ağırsoy, Meliha İpek; Gürsel Dino, İpek; Department of Architecture (2022-2)
Humans who directly interact with the built environment are a significant parameter of the architectural design process. The uncertainty in occupant behavior is a variable parameter of sustainability in architecture. Human building interaction affects energy consumption and creates an unpredicted result for the building's calculated energy use. The interaction between the occupant and the building is significant for establishing new areas of architectural inquiry. The study aims to observe the influence of ...
A New Design Approach for Rapid Evaluation of Structural Modifications Using Neural Networks
Demirkan, O.; Olceroglu, E.; BAŞDOĞAN, FATMA İPEK; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2013-02-01)
Design optimization of structural systems is often iterative, time consuming and is limited by the knowledge of the designer. For that reason, a rapid design optimization scheme is desirable to avoid such problems. This paper presents and integrates two design methodologies for efficient conceptual design of structural systems involving computationally intensive analysis. The first design methodology used in this paper is structural modification technique (SMT). The SMT utilizes the frequency response funct...
A comparative structural and architectural analysis of earthquake resistant design principles applied in reinforced concrete residential buildings in Turkey
Özmen, Cengiz; Ünay, Ali İhsan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2008)
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that it is possible to design earthquake resistant residential structures without significant compromises in the spatial quality and economic viability of the building. The specific type of structural system that this thesis focuses on is the reinforced concrete skeleton system. The parametric examples and key studies that are used in this research are chosen among applied projects in the city of Bolu. This city is chosen due to its location on the North Anatolian Fa...
A study on tall buildings and aerodynamic modifications against wind excitation
Ilgın, H. Emre; Günel, Mehmet Halis; Department of Architecture (2006)
The purpose of this thesis is to create basic design guidance for tall buildings and their aerodynamic modifications as a resource for architects, engineers, developers, and students. It aims to make a contribution to and strengthen particularly the architect̕s understanding of tall building design, that requires a high level of interdisciplinary approach, by providing a broad overview of the أtall buildingؤ with its general concepts; to demonstrate the importance of human element as a critical component in...
A study on main architectural and structural design considerations of contemporary supertall buildings
Ilgin, Huseyin Emre; Ay, Bekir Özer; Günel, Mehmet Halis (Informa UK Limited, 2020-04-22)
The design of supertall buildings (300m+) involves many professionals from several disciplines. The need for coordination among numerous experts, increases complexity of the entire process, which is typically conducted under the leadership of the architect, or sometimes the contractor. Consequently, the architects designing supertall buildings must be aware of architectural and structural design considerations and their interrelations. In this paper, the main architectural design considerations and structur...
