    The Influence of Meteorological Parameters on Pm10: a Statistical Analysis of an Urban and Rural Environment in İzmir/Turkiye
    (MDPI, 2023) Birim, Necmiye Gulin; Turhan, Cihan; Atalay, Ali Serdar; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden
    Air pollution is a substantial menace, especially in industrialized urban zones, which affects the balance of the environment, life of vital organisms and human health. Besides the main causes of air pollution such as dense urbanization, poor quality fuels and vehicle emissions, physical environment characteristics play an important role on air quality. Therefore, it is vital to understand the relationship between the characteristics of the natural environment and air quality. This study examines the correlations between the PM10 pollutant data and meteorological parameters such as temperature (T-air), relative humidity (RH), and wind speed (WS) and direction (WD) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 project. Two different zones (Vilayetler Evi as an urban zone and Sasali Natural Life Park as a rural zone) of Izmir Province in Turkiye are used as a case study and the PM10 data is evaluated between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2021. A one-tailed t-test is used in order to statistically determine the relationships between the PM10 pollutant data and meteorological parameters. As a further study, practical significance of the parameters is investigated via the effect size method and the results show that the RH is found to be the most influencing parameter on the PM10 for both zones, while T-air is found to be statistically non-significant.

    A Full 3(4) Factorial Experimental Design for the Low Energy Building's External Wall
    (Vinca Inst Nuclear Sci, 2020) Pekdoğan, Tuğçe; Akkurt, Sedat; Başaran, Tahsin
    The low energy building concept is based on improving the building envelope to reduce heating and cooling loads. Improvements in building envelopes depend not only on climatic conditions but also on insulation. In this study, the thermal performance of external walls was studied by using a three-level full factorial statistical experimental design. An opaque wall in low energy buildings was chosen in order to study the effect of selected factors of city (A), orientation (B), insulation location (C), and month of the year (D) on heat loss or gain. A software was used to calculate the ANOVA table. As a result, all three factors of months of the year, city and orientation of the building facade were found to be significant factor effects for heat transfer. Two-factor interactions of AB, AD, BD, and CD were found to be significant. Therefore, the effects of season, location and orientation were successfully shown to be effective parameters.
