Building energy efficiency comes into prominence as buildings constitute a significant portion of world energy consumption and CO2 emissions. To achieve energy-efficient buildings, energy performance assessments should be conducted meticulously, yet it is difficult to comprehensively estimate the buildings’ energy consumption since energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems that are affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climatic conditions, daylight levels, and HVAC system usage. Building Information Modeling (BIM) is frequently used in building energy analysis, as in many areas of the construction industry. BIM has the ability to both predict energy performance and provide the data needed to optimize the energy usage of buildings through changing design parameters that affect energy use. This study aims to analyze parameters that are affecting energy performance of a multi-storey residential building through BIM-based energy performance calculation, thus meeting the demand in literature for a comprehensive evaluation of majority of parameters comparatively. In this study, energy analysis is performed for each factor affecting building energy performance by keeping all other parameters constant, and then an evaluation of these parameters that will support optimization of the building energy performance is carried out. As a result, an understanding of the parameters that have the most significant impact on the energy performance of the building is achieved by using sensitivity analysis. Based on this analysis, it has been identified that the roof and wall insulation material thicknesses, building shape, and window material are the most effective parameters, respectively.

Literature review on BIM-based building energy performance optimization Can, Esra; Akçamete Güngör, Aslı (İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi; 2020-11-14) Buildings comprise a large part of global energy consumption and make a significant contribution to overall CO2 emissions in the world. Therefore, increasing the energy efficiency of buildings becomes a priority to reduce these undesirable effects. Building energy performance assessments are complex multi-criteria problems as the energy performance is affected by many factors such as building orientation, envelope design, climate conditions, daylighting levels, and HVAC system usage schedules. This complica...
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...
GIS-based site selection methodology for hybrid renewable energy systems: A case study from western Turkey Aydin, Nazli Yonca; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; Duzgun, H. Sebnem (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-01) Renewable energy sources are presently being considered as alternatives to fossil fuels, because they are perpetual, environmentally friendly, and release negligible amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere while producing energy. A disadvantage of renewable energy systems, however, is that continuous energy generation is not possible by using only one type of renewable energy system, since renewable energy resources depend on climate and weather conditions. Two or more renewable energy systems can be ...
An Energy and Economic Comparison of Building Envelope Types in Ankara Shorbagı, Mustafa Ibrahım; Çakmaklı, Ayşem Berrin (null; 2015-05-30) One aim of sustainable design may be, “to protect important resources such as energy from depletion and the reduction of the release of poisonous gasses, such as CO2 , to the atmosphere”. For this purpose, buildings which are a major cause of energy resource wastage must be designed in such a way to avoid such energy losses. In developing countries like Turkey, where much energy is exported to satisfy her needs, necessary methods of energy reduction were required. Thus regulations such as the TS 825 (Turkis...
Thermal bridge detailing in tunnel form buildings with passive house principles Yılmaz, Derya; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2014) As a result of depleting fossil fuels, increased energy prices and global warming, the growing importance of energy efficiency given birth to spread construction of energy saving buildings and use of new technologies around the world. Since thermal bridges in buildings may cause excessive heat loss, mold growth and deterioration of indoor air quality; to eliminate thermal bridges becomes very crucial both in existing buildings and in energy efficient buildings. In this thesis, energy demand of a six storey ...
