    Multi-Objective Optimization of Residential Buildings for Improving Indoor Thermal Comfort While Reducing Energy Consumption
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Arsan, Zeynep Durmuş; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Son yıllarda yön gözetmeksizin yüksek cam-cephe oranı ile tasarlanan konut yapıları yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu tasarım çözümleri başta aşırı ısınma olmak üzere, ısıl rahatsızlık ile yüksek enerji tüketimi ve soğutma yükü gibi sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın ana amacı, mevcut bir konut binasının enerji tüketimi ve ısıl konforu üzerinde en yüksek ve en düşük hassasiyete sahip tasarım değişkenlerini belirlemek ve enerji tüketimini azaltırken ısıl konforu iyileştiren optimum yenileme çözümlerini bulmaktır. Akdeniz iklim bölgesinde yer alan, 2019 yılında inşa edilmiş, güneye cepheli bir konut bloğu örnek olarak seçilmiştir. DesignBuilder'da oluşturulan model, saatlik iç mekan sıcaklık izleme verilerine göre sekiz aylık bir dönem için kalibre edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında belirsizlik ve duyarlılık analizi yapılmış, analiz sonuçlarına göre duyarlılığı düşük bulunan değişkenler dikkate alınmamıştır. NSGA-II algoritması kullanılmıştır. Altı adet iyileştirme senaryosu tanımlanmıştır: bina zarfı özelliklerini değerlendiren pasif olanlar, HVAC sistemi özelliklerini değerlendiren aktif olanlar ve ilk iki senaryoda alınan tüm tasarım değişkenlerini değerlendiren senaryolar. İlk üç senaryoda enerji tüketimini ve konforsuz saatleri en aza indirmek hedeflenirken, diğer üç senaryoda soğutma yükünü ve konforsuz saatleri en aza indirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Duyarlılık analizi sonuçlarına göre soğutma-ısıtma ayar noktası, gölgeleme tipi, sızma oranı, pencere duvar oranları her iki amaç fonksiyonu için de yüksek hassasiyete sahip değişkenlerdir. Isıtma sistemi çalışma takvimi, soğutma sistemi performans katsayısı, ısıtma sistemi verimliliği, iç duvar tipi ve pencere çerçeve tipi değişkenlerinin duyarlılığının düşük olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Üçüncü ve altıncı senaryolarda her iki amaç fonksiyonunun da temel duruma göre azaldığı optimum çözümler bulunmuştur. Bu senaryolarda, aşırı ısınma problemi hem aktif hem de pasif çözümler değerlendirilerek çözülmüştür.

    Effect of Natural Wall Materials on Energy Consumption in Continental and Mediterranean Climates
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yöney, Ekin Gamze; İlal, Mustafa Emre; İlal, Mustafa Emre; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Concern on earth and other natural building materials has been increased by rise of energy shortage and environmental problems. Not only the speed, quality and standardization in the production process of natural building materials should be improved, but also energy consumption of buildings constructed with these materials should be on acceptable levels in order to expend their usage. This study investigates the relationship between natural wall materials and energy consumption on two adobe buildings from Continental and Mediterranean climates. Totally 20 different wall options, composed of adobe, vertical hollow brick, limestone, hempcrete and strawbale with 0.30- and 0.50-meter thickness without and with flax thermal insulation material are tested with different combinations of direction and climate. The digital models of case buildings in Continental and Mediterranean climates are created to examine the question of in what climate and which direction a wall material is appropriate for energy efficient design. Consequently, strawbale enables the minimum annual energy consumption both for Mediterranean and Continental climates, while adobe shows better energy performance in summer period of Continental climate. Besides, it is observed that the energy consumption for cooling in case building of Mediterranean climate is 10 times more than of Continental one for whatever material is tested. The quantitative research conducted with different natural wall materials makes it a logical choice in terms of opening the path of industrialization that is supported by the aim of this thesis.

    Improvement of the Thermal Performance of an Aluminium Window Frame With Cfd Analysis
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Gökçen, Gökçe; Başaran, Tahsin; Başaran, Tahsin; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Most of the primary energy used in the world belongs to fossil fuels. Energyefficient activities are carried out in many different sectors in order to prevent the depletion of the reserves of these resources. The building sector is one of them and many different studies are being carried out to reduce the energy consumed in the buildings. Windows are the main unit of heat losses and gains in buildings. In literature, the main reasons for heat losses through windows are usually stated as glass units due to their large areas and relatively higher overall heat transfer coefficient. However, windows frames are as important as glass units because they also have higher heat transfer. Since the most commonly used material in window frames, which is aluminium, has the highest thermal conductivity value, this topic should be investigated. In this study, two different strategies are presented to improve the thermal transmittance of an aluminium frame without changing the frame geometry. The first strategy presented is the improvement of the gasket and thermal break materials in which high thermal conductivity materials are used which have a considerable impact on the thermal performance of aluminium window frames. The second strategy is to fill the cavities in aluminium profiles with polyurethane foam in order to reduce convection effects. Two dimensional CFD simulations of the aluminium window frame, modelled with information from the manufacturer, were used to investigate these improvement strategies. As a result of the study, the importance of thermal break and gasket materials used in the aluminium window frame has been seen and the thermal conductivity of these materials has a considerable effect on the thermal performance of the windows. Moreover, the polyurethane foam filled air cavities in the aluminium frame have positively affected the thermal performance of window as proposed and %29.44 improvements occurred.

    Effectiveness in Space and Energy Utilization in Hvac System Selection
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Elbiz, Gizem; Başaran, Tahsin; Başaran, Tahsin; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    In Turkey, energy consumption for heating constitutes an important part of the total energy consumed. The choice of heating system and the preferences in the use of related energy sources, excessive energy consumption and environmental impact cause high costs and significant area losses. A large number of parameters must be evaluated for the correct system selection. These parameters determine the installation cost of the system, heating and cooling loads during the construction period, and the environmental impact of energy consumption. This study aims to obtain the most economical and environmental friendly energy resource in a housing structure and accordingly, heating system and the system spatial value. The use of fossil fuels such as coal, fuel oil and natural gas and the geothermal energy as a renewable energy source are planned to be investigated. The analysis was carried out on how the climate conditions and economic values of the provinces of İzmir, Balıkesir, Kütahya and Ağrı, which are located in different climatic regions will be effected and where direct use of geothermal energy is concerned, will affect the results of the different system usage. Life Cycle Cost assessment was performed to investigate the relationship between the initial investment in a housing structure and the use of energy source and system selection. Geothermal energy is the best source of energy both for installation and renewal and for fuel consumption and environmental purposes. Geothermal heat exchangers selected for the source take up 36 times less space than coal boilers, and the economic reflection of this area is approximate 8000 if given the example of İzmir province. While considering the environmental impacts, CO2 emissions of geothermal energy are 15 times less than natural gas and 50 times less than coal.
