In non-residential buildings, space lighting accounts for 17 % of the total energy consumption. Effective use of daylighting has great potential to reduce lighting energy use in buildings. The amount of daylighting through the building windows is influenced by shading devices (i.e. curtains) that limit the visible light being introduced to the space. Therefore, there is a strong relationship between artificial lighting and shading. In this work, artificial lighting state prediction and curtain openness ratio prediction from the visual data is studied. For lighting state prediction, local and global approaches have been proposed and the performances are improved with the addition of background modeling and light sensor information. For the curtain openness prediction, a method with background modeling, binarization and morphology has been proposed. The performance of the proposed methods is evaluated with video datasets captured during one week in December 2018 and one week in March 2019. It has been shown that promising results are obtained with a 92.79 % and 97.40 % correctness ratio for light state detection for the same weeks, respectively; and with a 2.55 % mean average percentage error for curtain openness ratio prediction.

Image-based construction of building energy models using computer vision Gürsel Dino, İpek; Iseri, Orcun Koral; Akin, Sahin; Kalfaoglu, Esat; Erdogan, Bilge; Kalkan, Sinan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (Elsevier BV, 2020-08-01) Improving existing buildings' energy performance requires energy models that accurately represent the building. Computer vision methods, particularly image-based 3D reconstruction, can effectively support the creation of 3D building models. In this paper, we present an image-based 3D reconstruction pipeline that supports the semi-automated modeling of existing buildings. We developed two methods for the robust estimation of the building planes from a 3D point cloud that (i) independently estimate each plane...
Thermal performance optimization of building aspect ratio and south window size in five cities having different climatic characteristics of Turkey Inanici, MN; Demirbilek, FN (2000-01-01) The aim of the study is to establish optimum building aspect ratios and south window sizes of residential buildings from thermal performance point of view. The effects of 6 different building aspect ratios and eight different south window sizes for each building aspect ratio are analyzed for apartments located at intermediate floors of buildings, by the aid of the computer based thermal analysis program SUNCODE-PC in five cities of Turkey: Erzurum, Ankara, Diyarbakir, Izmir, and Antalya. The results are eva...
Thermal Performance of Buildings with Passive Solar Gains, Insulation and Energy Efficient Heating Systems Çakmaklı, Ayşem Berrin; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Pedergnana, Matthieu; Farzin Moghaddam, Maryam; Deljavan, Nastaran; Aslan, Ece(2014-12-31) This project proposal builds on previous research by the project team to demonstrate how energy efficiency in buildings can be significantly increased all year round by combining passive solar heating, appropriate building materials, and adequate insulation with efficient heating techniques such as the rocket stove. Design and production of solar units and energy efficient rocket stoves will be followed by monitoring of the thermal performance and energy consumption of selected spaces. Results will indicat...
Energy performance of duble-skin fa̧acades in intelligent office buildings : a case study in Germany Bayram, Ayça; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Architecture (2003) The building industry makes up a considerable fraction of world̕s energy consumption. The adverse effects of a growing energy demand such as depletion in fossil fuel reserves and natural resources hassled the building industry to a search for new technologies that result in less energy consumption together with the maximum utilization of natural resources. Energy- and ecology-conscious European countries incorporated the well-being of occupants while conducting research on innovative technologies. In view o...
Experimental investigation of tailwater effect on the energy dissipation through screens Aslankara, Vedat; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2007) Previous studies have shown that screens may be utilized efficiently for dissipating the energy of water. For the present study, a series of experimental works are executed to investigate the tailwater and multiple screen effects on the energy dissipation through screens. Water flowing beneath a sliding gate is used to simulate the flow downstream of a hydraulic structure. In the present study, one double screen and two double screen arrangements with porosity of 40% and inclination angle of 90 degree is us...
