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 - Scopus: 5Event Distortion-Based Clustering Algorithm for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks(Springer, 2022) Al-Qamaji, A.; Atakan, B.Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of compact deployed sensor nodes which collectively report their sensed readings about an event to the Base Station (BS). In WSNs, due to the dense deployment, sensor readings can be spatially correlated and it is nonessential to transmit all their readings to the BS. Therefore, for more energy efficient, it is vital to choose which sensor node should report their sensed readings to the BS. In this paper, the event distortion-based clustering (EDC) algorithm is proposed for the spatially correlated sensor nodes. Here, the sensor nodes are assumed to harvest energy from ambient electromagnetic radiation source. The EDC algorithm allows the energy-harvesting sensor nodes to select and eliminate nonessential nodes while maintain an acceptable level of distortion at the BS. To measure the reliability, a theoretical framework of the distortion function is first derived for both single-hop and two-hop communication scenarios. Then, based on the derived theoretical framework, the EDC algorithm is introduced. Through extensive simulations, the performance of the EDC algorithm is evaluated in terms of achievable distortion level, number of alive nodes and harvested energy levels. As a result, EDC algorithm can successfully exploit both the spatial correlation and energy harvesting to improve the energy efficiency while preserving an acceptable level of distortion. Furthermore, the performance comparisons reveal that the two-hop communication model outperforms the single-hop model in terms of the distortion and energy-efficiency. © 2021, The Author(s).Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Daylight Performance and Lighting Energy Savings of Amorphous and Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells in an Architecture Studio(IEEE, 2023) Taşer, Aybüke; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeSemi-transparent photovoltaic (PV) glass increased its popularity due to its energy and environmental advantages, which can generate electricity on-site and utilize natural daylight. They use thin-film solar cells to allow daylight to enter space and generate electrical energy. Crystalline and amorphous silicon (a-Si) solar cells are the most prominent in literature and industry due to their high efficiency and sufficient transparency. This study aims to assess the daylight and lighting energy-saving potential of thin-film crystalline and a-Si photovoltaic glass in an architecture studio in Izmir, Turkey. The simulation engine applied two types of solar cells on existing windows to evaluate the advantage of such glass for daylight performance and lighting energy consumption. Spatial Daylight Autonomy (sDA), a climate-based annual daylight performance metric, evaluates the daylight performance of the studio. Research findings note that such solar cells enhance the visual comfort of occupants and the daylight performance of the studio. In addition, crystalline silicon solar cells can cover the studio's whole lighting loads in the summer and fall seasons and balance them up to 66% and 23% in the spring and winter seasons, respectively. These have higher transmittance and peak power, thus; resulting in higher energy and daylight performance. © 2023 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Lightweight and Energy Efficient Secrecy Outage Probability-Based Friendly Jamming(IEEE, 2023) Yaman, Okan; Ayav, Tolga; Erten, Yusuf MuratThird parties and legitimate entities can reach and process users' private data through most wireless networks. However, attackers such as intruders and eavesdroppers may also try to exploit this property in communication. Hence, wireless networks are intrinsically more vulnerable to threats, unlike their wired alternatives. Cryptographic techniques are the conventional approaches to deal with that weakness. Nevertheless, they still need to meet the requirements of contemporary technologies, including IoT nodes with energy and processing power constraints. In that respect, friendly jamming (FJ) is one of the encouraging countermeasures to overcome the mentioned susceptibility since it has an energy-efficient and computation-friendly nature. However, that promising approach brings another challenge, applicability. Although various models exist against this issue, a lightweight scheme compliant with novel technologies is needed. Hence, we propose a more straightforward FJ model evaluated on cellular network-based simulations in this study. Moreover, introducing a lightweight secrecy outage probability definition increases robustness and energy efficiency. © 2023 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 77Citation - Scopus: 95Thermal, Daylight, and Energy Potential of Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (bipv) Systems: a Comprehensive Review of Effects and Developments(Elsevier, 2023) Taşer, Aybüke; Kundakçı Koyunbaba, Başak; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeAccording to energy consumption data of the European Union, buildings account for 40 % of overall energy consumption in all sectors. The rise in building energy demand seriously affects global warming. To reduce demand, buildings must be designed to be energy-efficient. As part of energy-efficiency initiatives, unique systems that employ renewable energy sources should be implemented in buildings. As a new technology, building-integrated photovoltaics is considered an essential technology to achieve this target. Several variables affect the thermal, daylight, and energy performance of building-integrated photovoltaic systems; related to environmental and photovoltaic-related parameters. Thus, the challenges and effects of these variables on the overall performance of these systems should be investigated. This research analyzes building-integrated photovoltaic implemented studies and presents a state-of-art review of recent developments. The study not only summarizes the existing studies developed in this field so far but also analyzes the variables and makes concrete generalizations and inferences. It enables finding gaps and deficiencies in the literature and provides a better understanding of all the variables that affect the performance of building-integrated photovoltaic systems by interpreting the results in detail and representing them graphically instead of only through textual analysis. Results show that building-integrated photovoltaics contribute to constructing a sustainable future for cities. Developments in this industry motivate researchers in this field, whose work will make it easier to cope with future ecological challenges. It helps to build a more sustainable future for society. With new developments, it will be possible to mitigate the effects of future environmental problems.Article Citation - WoS: 34Citation - Scopus: 41Assessment of Geothermal Energy Use With Thermoelectric Generator for Hydrogen Production(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2021) Hadjiat, M. M.; Hancıoğlu, Ebru; Mraoui, A.; Ouali, S.; Hancıoğlu Kuzgunkaya, Ebru; Salhi, K.; Ouali, A. Ait; Benaouda, N.In this work, a new model for producing hydrogen from a low enthalpy geothermal source was presented. Thermal energy from geothermal sources can be converted into electric power by using thermoelectric modules instead of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) machines, especially for low geothermal temperatures. This electrical energy uses the water electrolysis process to produce hydrogen. Simulation and experiments for the thermoelectric module in this system were undertaken to assess the efficiency of these models. TRNSYS software is used to simulate the system in Hammam Righa spa, the temperature of this spring is 70 degrees C. Obtained results reveal that in hammam righa spa in Algeria, 0.5652 Kg hydrogen per square meter of thermoelectric generator (TEG) can be produced in one year.

In this study, a thermal comfort driven control (PTC-DC) algorithm was developed to improve HVAC control systems with no need of retrofitting HVAC system components. A case building located in Izmir Institute of Technology Campus-Izmir-Turkey was selected to test the developed system. First, wireless sensors were installed to the building and a mobile application was developed to monitor/collect temperature, relative humidity and thermal comfort data of an occupant. Then, the PTC-DC algorithm was developed to meet the highest occupant thermal comfort as well as saving energy. The prototypes of the controller were tested on the case building from July 3rd, 2017 to November 1st, 2018 and compared with a conventional PID controller. The results showed that the developed control algorithm and conventional controller satisfy neutral thermal comfort for 92 % and 6 % of total measurement days, respectively. From energy consumption point of view, the PTC-DC decreased energy consumption by 13.2 % compared to the conventional controller. Consequently, the PTC-DC differs from other works in the literature that the prototype of PTC-DC can be easily deployed in real environments. Moreover, the PTC-DC is low-cost and user-friendly.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 14Thermal Simulation of Retrofits To Existing Mass Housing in Turkey for Energy Efficiency(Sila Science, 2011) Yıldız, Yusuf; Durmuş Arsan, ZeynepEnergy consumption in the existing residential building stock in Turkey is currently excessive. Mass housing, comprising a major portion of the officially-registered residential stock, carries enormous potential for energy savings even in the short run. This paper describes a case study in a mass housing area in Izmir, Turkey, in order to demonstrate the possibility of significant energy savings by implementing case-specific energy-efficient retrofitting scenarios and relating them with the payback periods. Building energy analysis software was used to examine thirteen scenarios consisting of various combinations of four main retrofitting options: addition of extra insulation for building envelope, replacement of existing glazing, regulation of air infiltration rate and indoor set point temperature. These scenarios revealed that annual energy savings of up to 62% are achievable and that the customer payback period for the best retrofitting scenario is 34 years.Book Part Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Energetic and Exergetic Design Evaluations of a Building Block Based on a Hybrid Solar Envelope Method(Springer Verlag, 2018) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelTo achieve sustainable development, there needs to be a focus on decreasing use of non-renewable energy sources and greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard, many studies focus on the strong relationship between energy and the environment. This study aimed to introduce the exergy analysis method into the urban planning field to find out the amount of exergy, rather than energy, that can be conserved in a building block when a solar envelope-based design is applied. In addition to the known energy-efficient design parameters, a criterion for the solar envelop method is integrated into a single method. This hybrid method includes taking into account the requirements for orientation, spacing, landscaping, and building form, as well as the building height properties as proposed in the solar envelop method. The solar envelop method depends on understanding the changing position of the sun throughout the day and year. If this dynamic behavior can be a factor in the design of an urban area, environmental friendliness, sustainability, and reduced energy consumption can comprehensively be achieved in cities.Conference Object The Effects of Admittance Term on Back-Drivability(Springer, 2018) Işıtman, Oğulcan; Ayit, Orhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet CanIn the design of kinesthetic haptic devices, there are mainly impedance type and admittance type device. In a customary scenario, the human operator back-drives the haptic device by holding and providing motion to the handle of the haptic device. If the type of transmission system does not allow passive back-drivability, then the back-drivability is satisfied by the use of an admittance controller. This type of a haptic device is said to have admittance structure. The selection of the admittance term in this controller plays a critical part in the task execution performance. Determination of this term is not trivial and the optimal parameters depend on not only the key performance criteria but also on the human operator. An experimental study is carried out in this work to determine the effect of the admittance term parameters on the performance of human operators in terms of the energy efficiency and the best accuracy. In this paper, the experimental set-up and the results of the experiments are presented and discussed.
