Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 1Porous Polymer-Derived Ceramics for Environmental Applications: Sorption, Filtration, and Catalysis(Elsevier B.V., 2025) Icin, Oyku; Zeydanli, Damla; Biesuz, Mattia; Soraru, Gian Domenico; Vakifahmetoglu, CekdarPolymer-derived ceramics (PDCs), obtained from preceramic polymers, have emerged as promising materials for environmental applications due to their high thermal and chemical stability, tunable nano-microstrucure and porosity, and versatile surface functionalities. This review focuses on the recent advances in porous PDCs and their use in key environmental fields such as sorption, filtration, and catalysis. A comparative analysis of precursor chemistry, synthesis strategies, and resulting structural properties is presented, emphasizing how these factors influence performance in environmental remediation tasks. By consolidating findings across specific application areas, the work aims to clarify the functional potential of PDCs and identify current research gaps and opportunities for future development in environmental material science.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Integration of Daylight Use and Analysis in Double Skin Facades: a Literature Review(Gazi Universitesi, 2024) Kazanasmaz, Tugce; Ünlütürk, Mustafa SerhanDouble skin facades (DSF) aim to save energy reducing the heat losses in buildings. They are visually appeal while allowing to use daylight efficiently. Such facade systems can reduce glare and distribute daylight evenly in the interior when compared to conventional facade systems. That is a result of cavities between two glass facades and locating sun shading elements in them, although this system provides a high level of transparency. As their primary purpose of application is to ensure thermal performance and ventilation, most studies in literature have focused on these. This study started with the hypothesis that studies examining daylight performance in DSFs are more limited than studies examining thermal performance and that daylight optimization methods are not used sufficiently in DSFs. In this context, the study aims to analyze studies focusing on daylight performance of DSFs. The review targets results of such current studies to guide future ones providing feedback knowledge. This may help to better technical developments in such facades and make them prevail in constructions or in retrofitting So, it contributes to literature in this sense. Recent studies are shown in tabulated form and interpreted in detail with graphics. considering their methodologies, daylight parameters and findings. Results show that the daylight parameter is one of the most important issues that architects or designers should consider from the moment they start the design, and they should make their designs based on the optimum penetration of daylight into the building. Consequently, this review presents that the use of daylight optimization has started to be used in recent studies dealing with DSFs. A DSF design can optimally get daylight into the interior can be made by using this method more frequently.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6An Investigation of the Design Process's Effect on a High-Performance Building's Actual Energy System Performance(Ios Press, 2022) Terim Çavka, Belgin; Çavka, Hasan Burak; Salehi, M. MahdiThe design intent and the performance targets of projects may sometimes fail to match a building's actual post-occupancy performance. The mismatch of intended and actual building performance can be attributed to multifarious reasons. This study focuses on the role of project decisions made during design as one of the reasons of shortfall. The aim of the study is to unveil the design decision-making process of a state-of-the-art research building through the analysis of project's available set of IDP (Integrated Design Process) documentation. To understand the relationship and correlation between the energy performance gap and the decision-making process of the case building, we investigated the design decisions' effect on the actual performance. The particular emphasis is on the decisions that were based on assumptions rather than measured actual test data for the proposed innovative building systems. The designed heat recovery system, which was dependent on recovered heat from the neighboring research building, had a significant effect on the building's poor energy performance. We investigated collected project data from coordination meetings, thoroughly analyzed project documentation, and quantified the building's actual energy performance data. The analysis of the project information shows the ripple effect of decisions that were made based on assumptions, that triggered shortfalls in the building's overall actual performance. Our qualitative analysis indicates that the poor system performance during operations was related with the design decisions that were not based on the measurement of the actual performance of the existing systems in the neighboring building. The performance of the heat recovery from the neighboring building as a highly dependent Energy Conservation Measure (ECM) analyzed through collected documents and data. The ambiguity of the available heat potential from the neighboring building and related testing issues defined on an explanatory timeline of process coding. The conclusion includes recommendations for the design decision-making process for innovative system integrations for high-performance buildings, and underlines the importance of IDP for complex buildings.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6The Implementation Model of Integrating the Three Sustainability Aspects Into the Undergraduate Architectural Design Studio(College Publishing, 2021) Mohamed, K.E.The concept of sustainability in design is meant to ensure that the product of the design is in harmony with humans and nature by taking into consideration the three aspects of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. The objective of this experiment was to integrate the three aspects of sustainability principles into the architectural design studio to train future architects to be able to design sustainable buildings. The study aimed to create an integration method that could be validated through the junior students’ work in the innovative Sustainable Architecture Design Studio (SADS) at Izmir Institute of Technology. The impact of the pedagogy on the students’ ability to integrate sustainable design principles into their projects was measured through the evaluation tools formulated for this purpose by the instructor. Further, the students’ feedback through course evaluation, questionnaire, and col-loquium at the end of the term was used to assess the method. The findings of this research demonstrated that the innovative studio pedagogy and teaching method were successful in integrating the sustainable design elements into design studio projects, while the level of sustainable elements integration was 68%. © 2021, College Publishing.

Many urban scenarios are being developed to mitigate potential risks and threats. One branch of these scenarios is built upon the concept of sustainability, for which the notion of “resilience” is of utmost importance. It is this notion of resilience that was examined in this study, based on the case of socio-ecological system features of Edremit, Van, Turkey. These features were evaluated in terms of changes that will potentially take place, and the analysis for this was performed using the Green Infrastructure Spatial Planning (GISP) method. In this approach, green infrastructure benefit criteria are mapped in the Geographic Information System (GIS) environment and various conclusions are drawn from the evaluation of these maps. The results of the study show that the green infrastructure systems of Edremit play an important role in providing a certain degree of resilience. It was, therefore, revealed as part of this study that measuring and evaluating the resilience properties of different cities is important. Also, urban policies and spatial strategies should be defined considering local characteristics and values as there is no one-size-fits-all solution in this regard. © Social Sciences Academic Press.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 9Incorporating Sustainability Principles Into Architectural Design Education: Results of an Experimental Design Studio(College Publishing, 2019) Mohamed, Kamal Eldin; Elias Özkan, Soofia TahiraDesign is a structured process or a tactical guideline to accomplish a unique expectation of a product, while a design studio is the environment where students are taught the skills to design the product, which may be a building. Hence, the design studio course is the most important component of the architectural education curriculum; it is where the students get an opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge gained through lecture-based courses. Yet most theory is not put into practice; consequently, the principles of sustainable design solutions are developed. There is an urgent need to teach future architects how to integrate sustainable design principles into their projects in order to prevent or mitigate environmental degradation due to the negative impacts of building projects. This experimental study initiated a new design studio pedagogy and a novel teaching structure for integrating sustainability principles into the architectural design projects of 3rd year students. It also evolved a testing method to assess the success of the new pedagogy and the students' final design projects. This paper presents the results of the experimental design studio and delivers recommendations for subsequent sustainable design studio courses.
