This paper discusses two case studies on the energy efficiency of buildings with south facing solar spaces. The study was conducted on buildings located on the Anatolian Plateau, a semi-arid upland region of Central Turkey where the harsh climate is characterized by long severe winters and hot, dry summers. One is an experimental hollow-brick building on the edge of the capital, the other constructed of mud-brick at an eco-center in a traditional village. Findings of this study have demonstrated that solar-spaces added to both buildings have a positive influence on the thermal performance of these buildings by reducing the annual heating loads by almost 10%.

Exergetic optimization of generated electric power split in a heat pump coupled poly-generation system Kilkis, Birol I.; Kılkış, Şiir (2007-01-01) This study analyzes environmental, energy, and economical benefits of a ground source heat pump, coupled poly-generation system by incorporating exergy into the energy efficiency analysis. Two additional terms, namely the rational exergy efficiency and the coefficient of performance were introduced to the primary energy savings equation in the European Union Directive 2004/8/EC. Based on the new equation, an optimization algorithm was developed, which can quantify the environmental, energy and economy benef...
Solar envelope and form generation in architecture Topaloğlu, Birol; Erkılıç, Mualla; Department of Architecture (2003) This thesis analyses the issue of solar access in environmentally sensitive attitudes to architecture. The primary intention of the study is to scrutinize the relationship between solar access and building form (volume) and investigate the efficiency of solar control on / by this form by means of ءsolar envelope̕ technique which is, first, defined by Knowles and developed in different ways in the last 30 years. Solar envelope in Knowles̕ terms can be defined as the building volume resulting from shadow cast...
Energy consumption, income, and carbon emissions in the United States Soytaş, Uğur; Sarı, Ramazan (2007-05-15) This paper investigates the effect of energy consumption and output on carbon emissions in the United States. Earlier research focused on testing the existence and/or shape of an environmental Kuznets curve without taking energy consumption into account. We investigate the Granger causality relationship between income, energy consumption, and carbon emissions, including labor and gross fixed capital formation in the model. We find that income does not Granger cause carbon emissions in the US in the long run...
Energy Benchmarking Method for Urban Settlements Tereci, Ayşegül; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2012) The aim of this study was developing an energy benchmarking method for urban quarters in order to design or manage the energy efficiently at urban scale. Rational implementation of energy efficiency strategies for the urban settlements can be possible with the comprehensive building stock models which have the ability to estimate and evaluate the energy demand of the building stock together with surrounding urban structures. The research initially focused to determine the factors which have an influence on ...
Cost Efficiency Analyses of Optimally Sized Steel Frames for Economical Design of Medium-Rise Buildings Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2014-09-01) The study, in this paper, investigates cost-efficient steel frameworks for economical design of medium-rise buildings. A total of 13 steel frames that incorporate various types of beam-column connection and bracing configuration are considered for detailed and comparative cost analyses. The numerical applications are performed using a 10-story building stiffened according to each of these steel frameworks to yield 13 test frames. First design optimizations are carried out in which the total member weight in...
