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 occupancy behavior with various type schedules on building performance. Occupancy, equipment, and lighting schedules are modeled and simulated to investigate the energy consumption of residential buildings. The thesis is influenced by the changes in daily life due to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns. Different household cases are modeled with post-pandemic conditions and analyzed to the conception of the role of the occupant in actual energy consumption.

A study on different dynamic solar shading control strategies using multi criteria design optimization
Gürsel Dino, İpek (null; 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 differe...
An immersive performative architectural design tool with daylighting simulations: a building information modeling-based approach
Akin, Sahin; Ergun, Oguzcan; Sürer, Elif; Gürsel Dino, İpek (Emerald, 2020-11-01)
Purpose In performative architectural design, daylighting is a crucial design consideration; however, the evaluation of daylighting in the design process can be challenging. Immersive environments (IEs) can create a dynamic, multi-sensory, first-person view in computer-generated environments, and can improve designers' visual perception and awareness during performative design processes. This research addresses the need for interactive and integrated design tools for IEs toward better-performing architectur...
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...
The development of a building energy performance evaluation program (EnAd) for architectural design process
Çakıcı, Fatma Zehra; Sorguç, Arzu; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2013)
Energy performance in buildings has become one of the most broadly debated subjects in contemporary architecture; and current legislation has emphasized its importance by requiring buildings to possess an energy performance certificate. Due to the technological advances in computational tools, it is possible to analyze the energy performance of buildings before construction starts; however most energy performance evaluation tools, requiring complex solid models and high technical knowledge in the field, can...
Research by design in architectural design education
Yüncü, Onur; Aközer, Emel; Department of Architecture (2008)
Research by design refers to the design of architectural research as an integral part of architectural design processes. In 1980s, it emerged as a third way in design research that was dominated until then by the methods of natural sciences and humanities. With this new formulation of design research, a methodological and epistemological transformation occurs, leading to the integration of practical knowledge into architectural research. The primary epistemological question transforms from knowing what desi...
