Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Design of Demountable Reciprocal Frames With New Geometric Properties(Int. Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2022) Özen, Gülçin; Kiper, Gökhan; Korkmaz, KorayThis study aims to develop missing geometric knowledge for demountable reciprocal frames (RF). While designing a demountable RF, one should know the initial, in-process and final form of the RF. These processes require some specific geometric knowledge. There are some deficiencies about geometric properties in the previous studies about demountable RFs. In this study, the positions and the orientations of the nexors are found by using the Denavit-Hartenberg parameters. This information gives where the joints are placed, how they are oriented and take position according to one another. Besides, the influence of engagement length on the fan height and the base edge are analyzed. Thereby one will be able to find out how much space the RF covers with the known base edge. With the geometric knowledge obtained from this study, demountable RFs having different engagement lengths can be produced with the same nexors.Article A Novel Design Method of Deployable Semi-Regular Tessellated Surfaces With Plano-Spherical Units(Int. Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2022) Maral, Mesude Oraj; Korkmaz, Koray; Kiper, GökhanThe design of movable systems gives an opportunity to create transformable designs which respond to the environmental, functional, cultural, and aesthetical needs of today's architecture. This paper proposes a method for designing a family of deployable structures which can be applied to semi-regular tessellated planar surfaces such as roofs, walls, and shading devices. The generated modular approach and adaptability provides a wide usage area and various combinations for these designs. The regular convex polygon modules are designed as a network of the triangular units. The triangular unit is designed using Bennett's overconstrained plano-spherical linkage topology. The polygonal modules are assembled to each other in one-uniform semi-regular tessellations. The assembly of adjacent regular convex polygons in each tessellation is examined to find a proper solution for no collision during deployment and to properly fit a surface without any gaps or overlaps in the deployed position. The assembly method for creating 1-DoF deployable surfaces and mobility calculations for a unit, the polygonal modules, and the assemblies are computed, and motion studies are demonstrated with CAD models and exemplified for a square module for motion tests in a prototype.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Approaches To Optimization for Movable Shading Systems: a Review of Optimization Methods and Tools(Znack Publishing House, 2021) Keskinel, Yeşim; İlal, Mustafa EmreStudies show that movable shading systems have lots of benefits for building performance. Minimizing energy consumption and maximizing daylight usage are natural expectations when using these systems. To find optimal solutions for these systems, different methods have been used. Today, optimization methods are used to solve this problem. In the literature, there are few studies about optimization of movable shading systems. This paper aims to identify different movable shading systems, optimization types, and computational optimization tools that are used. Research findings and future projections based on the reviewed papers are summarized.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Comparison of Advanced Daylighting Systems To Improve Illuminance and Uniformity Through Simulation Modelling(Znack Publishing House, 2014) Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Fırat Örs, PelinDeficiencies in daylighting performance (illuminance and uniformity) of educational facilities may cause health problems, work performance loss and excessive energy consumption. The varying nature of daylight in daily and yearly basis is a strong challenge on that matter. Advanced daylighting systems have been developed to overcome this challenge. Improving the daylighting performance of existing buildings is another difficulty in daylighting design. Daylighting design needs should be carefully considered at the initial design stages of the buildings. So, the aim of this study was to improve the illuminance and uniformity in four selected architectural design studios in Izmir. Measurements of daylight illuminance were conducted in May and June 2012. Simulation models were built in Ecotect/Radiance. To reach the best daylighting performance, simulations were carried out by Desktop Radiance with applying laser cut panels, prismatic panels and light shelves. It is considered that retrofitting efforts after the construction would be inadequate regarding daylighting, unless complying with the standards during the design process.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 2User Lighting Preferences Based on Navigation and Space Quality in Virtual Exhibition Environments(Znack Publishing House, 2020) Çevik, Aslıhan; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Duran, Hasan EnginJust as any other interior environment, lighting of exhibition spaces must be examined to enhance its visual quality and comfort. In this study, user behaviour, perception and impressions are analyzed for more comprehensive understanding by including subjective reasoning. Due to the chaotic progress and contradictory choices in exhibition lighting, daylight is mostly avoided while the role of users and relation between quantitative and qualitative parameters are often neglected. A series of sample exhibition spaces illuminated either artificially or by daylight are modelled virtually in Lumion software to be evaluated in a three-step questionnaire. A total of 90 participants are selected from three different professions (architects, visitors, artists), their reaction like movement, preference and impressions are gathered via questionnaire while moving through the model. The study aims to find out the role of lighting type in exhibition navigation and its relation with non-lighting parameters using statistical analysis methods. Results show that natural light is preferred more in sculpture exhibition while artificial light is preferred in painting exhibition. Movement towards daylight increases in transition areas and towards the end of the exhibition. A significant difference in navigation choices are found between professions, architects preferred to move towards more natural light while artists preferred artificial light.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3A Full 3(4) Factorial Experimental Design for the Low Energy Building's External Wall(Vinca Inst Nuclear Sci, 2020) Pekdoğan, Tuğçe; Akkurt, Sedat; Başaran, TahsinThe 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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2An Empirical Validation of Estimation Model (optimlum) for Energy Efficient Luminaire Layout Design in Offices(Znack Publishing House, 2020) Uygun, İlknur Erlalelitepe; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Kale, SerdarThis study performed with the purpose of constructing and validating a model named OptimLUM ( Optimizing Luminaire Layouts) to estimate the most accurate location, number and type of artificial light sources according to average illuminance and maximum uniformity in an office. OptimLUM is appling through Excel Spreadsheet to develop the model and uses Evolver, which is basing on genetic algorithm to implement optimization routine. To validate the reliability of the proposed model, luminaire layout scenairos generated for two types of luminaires after taking illuminance measurements in an actual office. OptimLUM illuminance values were comparing statistically with measurement and DIALux results to test the applicability of the model. The model performance is highly accurate in determining luminaire positions: coefficient of determination R-2 and coefficient of variation CV were equal to (86-99)% and to (0.04-0.12) respectively, and for all scenarios. Its outputs are closer to the actual measurements when compared with DIALux outputs.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Applicability of a Prismatic Panel To Optimize Window Size and Depth of a South-Facing Room for a Better Daylight Performance(Znack Publishing House, 2020) Köse, Büşra; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeThis study examines the performance of attached prismatic panels, which have shading capability, in a side-lit deep plan room to find out the least possible WWR value in relation to room depth satisfying the required daylight availability. The methodology is based on simulating a base model in Relux and testing it with alternative models composed of incrementally defined WWR and room depth values. In accordance with minimum IES requirements, the most satisfying sDA value was found to be 48.54 % in a room of 12 m depth with 67 % WWR. An sDA of 51.59 % and 59.26 % was achieved in a room of 9m depth with 43 % WWR and 6m depth with 30 % WWR, respectively. The least ASE values were obtained with the least WWR alternative of 30 % in all room depths. This study presents a new approach with the consideration of innovative daylight redirecting systems to propose revisions for the requirements mentioned in standards about daylight in buildings but based on conventional fenestration systems. © 2020, LLC Editorial of Journal ""Light Technik"".

Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2019) Maden, Feray; Akgün, Yenal; Kiper, Gökhan; Gür, Şebnem; Yar, Müjde; Korkmaz, KorayWhen the existing literature on the research of scissor structures is thoroughly investigated, it is seen that different researchers use different terminologies and classifications especially for the definition of the primary units and the motion type. Some of the studies define the whole geometry based on the geometric properties of the primary scissor units and the unit lines while some other studies define it according to the loops. All these studies use different names for similar elements. This article aims to review the literature on the classification and terminology of scissor structures and represent the state of art on the studies. Tables are represented showing all approaches in the literature. In addition, the article criticizes the missing points of each terminology and definition, and proposes some new terminology. In order to arrive at this aim, different definitions of the primary scissor units and motion types used in key studies in the literature are investigated thoroughly. With several examples, it is demonstrated that naming the scissor units according to the resulting motion type might be misleading and it is better to specify the motion type for the whole structure. A classification for transformation of planar curves is presented.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Impact of Thermal Mass for Future Energy Consumption: Case Study in Adobe House(Inderscience Enterprises, 2019) Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Yöney, Ekin GamzeThis paper examines thermal mass quality of building envelope as passive preventive phenomena for future energy consumption. It questions how much and what type of thermal mass is required for decreasing energy consumption according to future climate change. Summer energy performance of adobe house in Konya, Turkey is studied in terms of thermal mass characteristic by using dynamic simulation software. Measured and predicted microclimate data for 2017 and 2050s are used to compare passive impact of wall material choices, i.e. adobe, limestone, vertical hollow brick and volume of wall without night-time ventilation. In conclusion, the study reveals that thermal mass with lower density and thinner materials show higher energy performance for summers. Energy consumption is minimum with vertical hollow brick wall in 50 cm for 2017 and 30 cm for 2050s. It is deduced that thermal conductivity will still have higher impact than thermal mass on energy consumption.
