Master Thesis Retrofitting Existing Mass Housing for Energy Efficincy: a Case Study in Gaziemir Emlank Bank Housing Area, Izmir, Turkey(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Yıldız, Yusuf; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyEnergy consumption in the extant residential building stock of Turkey is excessive owing to an inadequate regulative framework regarding energy-efficient retrofitting, application deficiency and failures in heating insulation detailing regulated by TS 825 Thermal Insulation in Buildings. Mechanical systems through the operation period of buildings are out of inspection and occupant profile pays attention to size rather than the quality of construction. In the framework of research concerning harmonization with the EU, the building regulations of Turkey have been adapted to the EU Directives promoting energy efficiency and reduction of energy demand in existing buildings. The Turkish Energy Efficiency Law, launched in 2007 in this framework, is the most noteworthy step. In the light of retrofitted housing examples from 11 EU countries, the thesis presents effective and case-specific retrofitting scenarios for a selected residential block in Gaziemir Emlak Bank Mass Housing Area in Izmir, Turkey. The objective is to draw attention to the enormous potential for reducing energy consumption in existing mass housing areas through implementation of energy-efficient retrofitting applications. The thesis discusses scenarios to decrease the energy demand for heating and evaluates the effects of predefined scenarios on cooling loads of selected apartment block. The building energy analysis software, Ecotect v5.50, has been used for the assessment of heating and cooling energy loads based on the current and improved conditions of the building. The thesis demonstrates that it is possible to save almost half of the annual energy consumption of the residential block in Gaziemir Emlak Bank Mass Housing Area by applying appropriate retrofitting scenarios.Master Thesis The Impact of Architectural Design Criteria on Energy Performance of Residential Buildings: a Case Study in Izmir(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2012) Uygun, İlknur; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe impact of architectural configuration and design norms on energy performance of buildings has been a critical issue. Even, it becomes noteworthy for residential buildings of good quality. New legislation in Turkey which was prepared to comply for the latest European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EC requires information about the evaluation of energy performance of existing buildings. So, this study aimed to determine energy performance of residential buildings in Izmir, to analyze significant relationships between their performance and architectural configuration through statistical analyses (analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression, t-Test, scatter charts). Utilizing production drawings, certain area-based ratios and building dimensions were determined as architectural configuration indicators. Most prevailing architectural variables, such as, zoning status, external surface area and A/V ratios, and others, namely, orientation, floor counts in a building, aspect ratio, heating system were analyzed. Energy performance of case buildings were determined by using The Standard Assessment Method for Energy Performance of Dwellings (KEP-SDM) which referred to Turkish standard TS 825, and European standard EB ISO 13790. Majority of the investigated buildings were in Energy Class B and C, in CO2 Class G; however, their energy consumption values were two times higher than the ones in European countries. Findings present such a clue that interactions between variables and their total effect on the energy performance and CO2 emissions should be taken into consideration. They would also provide feedback information on the residential building stock in İzmir, selected as a representative city in Turkey.
