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: 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: 1Citation - Scopus: 1EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF DOUBLE SKIN FAÇADE SYSTEM ON BUILDING THERMAL PERFORMANCE;(Turk Isi Bilimi ve Teknigi Dernegi, 2021) Hülagü,S.; Göksal Özbalta,T.; Başaran,T.In this study, heat transfer in conventional single skin façade and double skin façade system was studied experimentally and numerically by using one dimensional time dependent approach and the effects of the façade systems on building energy performance especially heating energy was investigated. In this context, a mathematical model considering user behavior and window aluminum frame element effect was build by zonal analysis method to calculate the heat transfer in single and box type closed cavity double skin façade systems, and build model was experimentally verified. Experimental study was conducted in office spaces having single and double skin façade systems in Ege University, Civil Engineering Building’s south façade in January 2017. Next, verified model was used to study the heat transfer in the façade systems for İzmir’s climatic condition by using monthly average daily data. The change in thermal performance of single and double skin façade systems due to the climatic condition during a year was investigated by using the 10 year average climate data of İzmir (Mediterranean climate). It was found that double skin façade system acts as an insulator preventing extreme indoor temperature values, thus contributing to the indoor comfort level against changing outdoor conditions. ©2021 TIBTD Printed in Turkey.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.Conference Object Energy-Efficient Resource Allocation for Multiuser Ofdm Wireless Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) Durbaş, Şükrü; Özbek, BernaIn the last decades, the energy consumption in wireless communication systems is increasing and becoming a major problem for cellular operators.

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.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Exergy Analysis of Mass Housing Areas: Mavişehir I and Ii, Izmir(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2015) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelIn this study, in terms of urban design, an exergy analysis of Mavişehir mass housing area in Izmir, Turkey is carried out based on spatial properties, shadow effects, wind effects and local climate to understand the importance of design strategies. The exergy analysis is applied with broad consideration covering the heat loads of the separate buildings for winter and summer. When the exergy results of Mavişehir I and Mavişehir II are compared it is found that Mavişehir II has less exergy by fuel and exergy load values. This may result from different design strategies in Mavişehir I where the same buildings and villas between residential buildings are located according to sea view, whereas in Mavişehir II, there is a heterogeneous pattern with various forms and heights of the residential buildings. It was also discovered that exergy efficiency of the area is 4.20% and the exergy flexibility factor is 19.3%.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 3On Exploiting Spatial Correlation for Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Networks(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Al-Qamaji, Ali; Atakan, BarışWireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a set of inexpensive densely deployed sensor nodes with limited functionalities and scarcity in energies. The observations of sensors are forwarded directly to the Base Station (BS). In densely deployed sensors, sensing data are likely to be highly correlated in space domain, which produces unfavorable redundant readings and wasting in energy. In this paper, we propose an Event Distortion-Based Node Selection (EDNS) algorithm which exploits spatial correlation for reducing inessential sensor nodes that have correlated readings for improving Energy-Efficiency (EE) with acceptable distortion level. Furthermore, we derive a theoretical framework of distortion function for single-hop communication model to observe the advantages from energy harvesting to the accuracy level. Furthermore, the trade-off between energy consumption and distortion level is investigated.
