Traditional dwellings despite their environmental credentials, due to age, previous damage, and residents unable to afford even the limited maintenance allowed by restrictive legal framework, may offer poor thermal performance, which is expected to be further exacerbated by changing climate. More than 70% of Turkey’s built heritage stock is composed of traditional dwellings, which makes this stock able to create a major impact nationally on the building-related energy use, carbon emissions and population wellbeing. This research aims to develop an evidence-based multidisciplinary methodology for cost-effective retrofit of the traditional dwellings in Turkey, to improve energy performance, satisfy user expectations of comfort, and protect heritage value.

A geochemical equilibrium modeling approach to assessing soil acidification impacts due to depositions of industrial air emissions
Ünlü, Kahraman; Soyupak, S; Yurteri, C (1999-07-01)
Soil acidification impacts arising from depositions of industrial air emissions may become a serious environmental concern. Currently, in the literature quantitative mechanistic modeling and the experimental acid neutralizing capacity (ANC) approach and a qualitative evaluation approach classifying soils into various levels of sensitivity to acid additions have been reported to assess the long-term soil acidification impacts due to industrial air emissions. Another alternative quantitative approach proposed...
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...
Incorporation of waste and pozzolanic materials as partial replacement for the development of sustainable concrete
Hamza, Ali; İnce, Ceren; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2018-1)
Excessive production of cement due to modern construction practices frames cement as a leading pollutant of releasing significant amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere. The thesis begins with the examination of the alternative binding materials used as partial replacement to cement. Supplementary cementitious material, silica fume, is used as partial replacement to Portland cement whereas, waste materials, marble dust and crushed bricks, are used as partial replacement to the fine aggregates in this thesis. The ...
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...
A BIM based assessment of the impact of envelope design and building surrounding on the tradeoff between energy efficiency, thermal comfort and visual comfort
Uysal, Mehmet Turabi; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9)
The problem of depletion and rapid consumption of natural resources has forced engineers to design houses that consume less energy with more sustainable materials. However, simply minimizing energy consumption is not enough; at the same time, it is necessary to keep the indoor quality at the maximum level for a healthier environment and higher level of production. BIM based design and analysis has the potential to help achieve both targeted energy needs and visual & thermal comfort levels. Previous st...
