    Predicting current energy demand and future energy consumption of buildings is the challenging experience for architects. Although there are various dynamic simulation tools that enable them to calculate building energy performance, the complexity of tools poses problems to model, understand process-centered simulation studies and interpret the results. This thesis aims to present, test, verify and criticize the modeling, simulation and calibration processes of residential building from architect's perspective. One of the effective ways to overcome global warming problem is by immediate involvement of architects into energy modeling process. Therefore, the study criticizes the role of architect in process-centered modeling. Process-centered modeling is tested with existing residential building conditioned with air-source heat pump in İzmir-Turkey. Indoor and outdoor environment were monitored from July 2009 to June 2010. Digital model of the building was created by using DesignBuilder dynamic modelling tool, and calibrated for three different periods of heating, cooling and transition. The problems faced during modeling and simulation based on professional knowledge of the architect and simulation tool was exemplified. Finally, the survey was conducted to verify the role of architect tool users in modeling process. Consequently, case study exemplified how the architect conducts a processcentered modeling, and survey showed how his/her modelling experience and knowledge is essential for right management of design process. Mechanical systems modeling is still challenging issue requiring knowledge and experience for architect users..

    Computational Thinking and Architectural Education: an Evaluation of Vew Formations in Turkey

    A significantly positive change has been noticed in the conceptual frame of the digital design and its influence on the related studies since the mid 60’s. The influence is quite noticeable in various research areas based on design theory such as architecture, biology and mathematics, etc…The same influence is also detectable on some theoretical cognitive and computational approaches. Instead of being seen mere means of visual presentation, digital tools are redefined as actual design areas in which the design process is formed. As a result, a variety of concepts known as computational design, computer aided design and digital architecture have come into existence. As expected, this change brings about a kind of paradigm in architectural education. On the other hand, it influences the design knowledge and causes changes in the educational models used for the teaching of design. As a consequence, architectural education bears the responsibility of reflecting the potential of both conventional and digital design methods in the designing process. Accordingly, instead of being only used for creating visual effects as in their early days, in this process of forming an architectural concept, digital tools begin to be used as complementary elements in the basic design learning process. In short, when the architectural education system undergoes a change in order to support the digital methods, the digital platform is not perceived only as a means of visual presentation. It accommodates the entire process of conceptualizing, creating and presenting. Accordingly, this dissertation attempts to question the evolution in the formation of design theories together with its impact and reflections in the education, and this thesis also aims to reveal some evolving educational models in the field. It also underlines the possible future of this particular educational model, and how the potentials of these models will be realized and perceived in their attempts to live up to future expectations.
