    Effect of Building Envelope and Environmental Variables on Building Energy Performance: Case of a Residential Building in Mediterranean Climate
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Taşer,A.; Uçaryılmaz,S.; Arsan,Z.D.
    At least 30% of the World’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions originate from buildings. Thus, design decisions should be well studied during the design phase of buildings following energy efficiency approaches. Environmental variables and properties of the building envelope are significant for energy efficiency. Thus, this study aims to investigate the potential of a residential building in the Mediterranean climate of İzmir, Turkey, regarding decreasing energy use and understanding the significance of architectural decisions during the design stage of buildings. Eight design scenarios were created by defining seven variables affecting energy consumption for room electricity, heating, and cooling. The first three scenarios focused on environmental-related variables, i.e., surrounding buildings, ground surface materials, and building orientation, while the last five scenarios investigated building envelope-related variables, i.e., thermal transmittance of the wall, floor and roof, glass, window frame, and door types, shading elements, and natural ventilation. Then, energy modeling and simulation are applied to test their potential for minimizing energy consumption. Research findings proposed that early architectural design decisions significantly influenced the case building’s energy performance. Thermal transmittance of the building components provided an annual energy saving of 22.4%, thus, was seen as the best-performed variable for the case building. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.

    Multi-Objective Evolutionary Optimization of Photovoltaic Glass for Thermal, Daylight, and Energy Consideration
    (Elsevier Ltd, 2023) Taşer,A.; Kazanasmaz,T.; Kundakcı Koyunbaba,B.; Durmuş Arsan,Z.
    The potential of fenestration systems is increased by incorporating photovoltaic technology into windows. This recently developed technology enhances the ability to generate energy from the building façade, improve the thermal and daylight performance of buildings, and visual comfort of occupants. Integrating an evolutionary optimization algorithm into this technology is one of the possible sustainable solutions to enhance building performance and minimize environmental impact. This paper uses a genetic evolutionary optimization algorithm to explore the optimum performance of photovoltaic glass in an architecture studio regarding annual energy consumption, energy generation, and daylight performance. Design variables include a window-to-wall ratio (i.e., window size and location) and amorphous-silicon thin-film solar cell transparency to generate optimum Pareto-front solutions for the case building. Optimization objectives are minimizing annual thermal (i.e., heating and cooling) loads and maximizing Spatial Daylight Autonomy. Optimized results of low-E semi-transparent amorphous-silicon photovoltaic glass applied on the façade show that the spatial daylight autonomy is increased to 82% with reduced glare risk and higher visual comfort for the occupants. Photovoltaic glass helped reduce the selected room's seasonal and annual lighting loads by up to 26.7%. Lastly, compared to non-optimized photovoltaic glass, they provide 23.2% more annual electrical energy. © 2023 International Solar Energy Society
