Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6A Literature Review on Sustainable Buildings and Neighborhoods in Terms of Daylight, Solar Energy and Human Factors(Elsevier, 2025) Cogul, Ilgin cataroglu; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tugce; Ekici, BerkSustainability has become the focus and interest of researchers with climate change's increasing impact and challenges. Considering various perspectives, published studies focus on sustainability in architecture and the built environment, such as using daylight more effectively, enhancing energy efficiency, and designing nearly zero-energy buildings. Given the attention to sustain- ability in this domain, this review assesses the abovementioned viewpoints in buildings regarding environmental factors in relation to the micro and macro scales of the buildings and neighborhoods. Human factor has increasingly been of interest in recent works of sustainable environments. This study identifies the gaps with respect to architectural design elements considering daylighting, energy efficiency and human factors on building and neighborhood scales. A comprehensive table of the reviewed studies summarizes the aim, methodology, optimization algorithm, objective function, machine learning algorithm, digital tools, location, independent and dependent variables, view, wellness, well-being, daylight/energy performance metrics, scale, and solar strategy. The results showed that the current state-of-the-art focus on energy efficiency mainly considers passive design strategies at the building scale. Studies in the daylight domain primarily consider window properties, shading devices, and orientation. Human-centric studies showed that daylighting improves the emotional well-being of building occupants but can have negative effects such as overheating and glare. Overall findings emphasize the necessity of a holistic approach in achieving sustainability goals in dwellings at the building and neighborhood scale.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 34Multi-Zone Optimisation of High-Rise Buildings Using Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Metropolises. Part 2: Optimisation Problems, Algorithms, Results, and Method Validation(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2021) Ekici, Berk; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Turrin, Michela; Taşgetiren, M. Fatih; Sarıyıldız, I. SevilHigh-rise building optimisation is becoming increasingly relevant owing to global population growth and urbanisation trends. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of high-rise optimisation but have been focused on the use of the parameters of single floors for the entire design; thus, the differences related to the impact of the dense surroundings are not taken into consideration. Part 1 of this study presents a multi-zone optimisation (MUZO) methodology and surrogate models (SMs), which provide a swift and accurate prediction for the entire building design; hence, the SMs can be used for optimisation processes. Owing to the high number of parameters involved in the design process, the optimisation task remains challenging. This paper presents how MUZO can cope with an enormous number of parameters to optimise the entire design of high-rise buildings using three algorithms with an adaptive penalty function. Two design scenarios are considered for quad-grid and diagrid shading devices, glazing type, and building-shape parameters using the setup, and the SMs developed in part 1. The optimisation part of the MUZO methodology reported satisfactory results for spatial daylight autonomy and annual sunlight exposure by meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards in 19 of 20 optimisation problems. To validate the impact of the methodology, optimised designs were compared with 8748 and 5832 typical quad-grid and diagrid scenarios, respectively, using the same design parameters for all floor levels. The findings indicate that the MUZO methodology provides significant improvements in the optimisation of high-rise buildings in dense urban areas.Article Citation - WoS: 38Citation - Scopus: 50Multi-Zone Optimisation of High-Rise Buildings Using Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Metropolises. Part 1: Background, Methodology, Setup, and Machine Learning Results(Elsevier Ltd., 2021) Ekici, Berk; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Turrin, Michela; Taşgetiren, M. Fatih; Sarıyıldız, I. SevilDesigning high-rise buildings is one of the complex tasks of architecture because it involves interdisciplinary performance aspects in the conceptual phase. The necessity for sustainable high-rise buildings has increased owing to the demand for metropolises based on population growth and urbanisation trends. Although artificial intelligence (AI) techniques support swift decision-making when addressing multiple performance aspects related to sustainable buildings, previous studies only examined single floors because modelling and optimising the entire building requires extensive computational time. However, different floor levels require various design decisions because of the performance variances between the ground and sky levels of high-rises in dense urban districts. This paper presents a multi-zone optimisation (MUZO) methodology to support decision-making for an entire high-rise building considering multiple floor levels and performance aspects. The proposed methodology includes parametric modelling and simulations of high-rise buildings, as well as machine learning and optimisation as AI methods. The specific setup focuses on the quad-grid and diagrid shading devices using two daylight metrics of LEED: spatial daylight autonomy and annual sunlight exposure. The parametric model generated samples to develop surrogate models using an artificial neural network. The results of 40 surrogate models indicated that the machine learning part of the MUZO methodology can report very high prediction accuracies for 31 models and high accuracies for six quad-grid and three diagrid models. The findings indicate that the MUZO can be an important part of designing high-rises in metropolises while predicting multiple performance aspects related to sustainable buildings during the conceptual design phase. © 2021 The Author(s)
