- The Effect of Passive Solar Shading Elements on Daylight Levels and Energy Efficiency in Architectural Residential Heritage of İzmir, Scientific Research Project, Yaşar University, September 2019
- Assist.Prof.(PhD) Belgin TERİM ÇAVKA
Summary: The use of shading elements frequently seen in the residential tradition of İzmir. These elements, which have been carried to the present through periodic changes, are prominent design elements in İzmir urban architecture. It is useful to understand the design tradition by examining the repetition and variation of the shading elements used in İzmir traditional residences in order to analyze the process of transformation of these elements from low-rise housing examples into multi-storey buildings. The main objective of this study is to comprehend the traditional methods of coping with the effect of the sun and to understand the technical reasons behind. Thus, this project will shed light on the future design and applications of sun control in a positive way.The city of İzmir, where sunlight has seen around 300 days per year, contains multi-storey residential examples where excessive increase in cooling loads and decrease in comfort conditions occur if daylight control ignored. Comfort conditions can be improved considerably with the right design approach and simple passive design elements in temperate climate cities like İzmir, where the cooling load is higher compared to the heating load. In this context, evaluating the use of shading design elements technically in local architecture will be able to guide new designs. The lack of similar technical studies points out this project.

Summary: This study aims to gather data for application of microalgae production system for improving energy efficiency of an existing or new building by increasing its heating/cooling performance. System address this goal through three mechanisms; increasing its heating/cooling performance. System address this goal through three mechanisms; increasing thermal resistivity of building facade, creating a constant temperature shell around the building and increasing thermal mass. Thus in this research design parameters like thermal transmittance (U value), light transmittance and heating/cooling requirements will be determined and optimized, and their possible applications as building elements will be investigated.

Summary: Pulse will be a highly sustainable building on the TU-Delft campus, to provide in education, study and events. Besides the optimal orientation of the building and its program, there is need for sun shading on the prominent west southwest facade to minimize the heat load on the facade and interior.
The goal is to create a cloud of elements in front of the façade that optimizes:
Sun shading: blocking the high sun and letting the desirable lower sun into the building;
Daylight admittance: taking into account the program behind the façade;
Views: to the roof garden and the square;
Structure: suspension and material use.
Because these factors vary from point to point, the sun shading (elements) will also vary and thus become unique.

Summary: 40% of the final energy consumption of European Union countries is consumed in buildings. Regarding most of the existing building stock’s consistence in the next 20 years and the number of new building construction’s being less comparatively, the importance of energy efficient retrofit of buildings is delivered more specifically. Buildings have a wide range of network in the name of product and service intervals. The main topic in struggling with the climate change policies is increasing the energy efficiency in buildings as the energy consumption amount in buildings is huge. More than one third of the total energy consumption in Turkey belongs to the heating and cooling of buildings. This results in insulating buildings against heat gains and losses in hot and cold climates respectively. The cooling of buildings costs 3 to 6 times more than heating them; that’s why, in hot climates, taking precautions for decreasing the cooling loads in buildings and retrofitting them in an energy-efficient way is the main priority of architects.
The aim of this study is to confirm the decrease in energy consumptions in case the passive design strategies are applied in buildings. Afterwards, making a pilot study for different building directions and parameters and creating a simulation model for the frame structure for similar or different retrofit proposals.
