    Effectiveness of Retail Lighting in Terms of User Satisfaction and Light Quality
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Ketencioğlu, Duhan; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe
    The primary purpose of lighting design is to create visuality that can perform different tasks and perceive spaces and objects it means that visual comfort conditions. Visual comfort related with the quantity and quality of light. There are some points to be considered in order to ensure the lighting design that changes/determines according to the standards of each environment: light amount, color, direction, color rendering, and uniformity of light. All these determine the quality of lighting in the environment. Effectiveness of retail lighting related with how to design retail stores. In this study, which examines the effect of retail lighting in terms of human satisfaction and light quality, firstly what lighting is, its purposes and benefits are discussed. Then, necessary visual comfort conditions for stores, brand images and strategies, standards and requirements of lighting designs for customers are mentioned. This information was gathered by examining the main sources of lighting standards. In the studies conducted on this subject, it has been determined that there are incomplete studies examining "different age groups, socio-cultural groups, different store profiles, daylight effects and customer/employee satisfaction". For this reason, a survey was conducted in Boyner and DeFacto stores in İzmir Westpark AVM to support the study, and it was emphasized the effectiveness of lighting designs in terms of users' satisfaction and light quality.

    Performance of Movable Façade Panels in Terms of Dynamic Daylight Metrics for a Classroom
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Keskinel, Yeşim; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe
    Although the use of daylight has an important role in educational spaces, uncontrolled use of daylight can lead to some undesirable situations for occupants. It is generally accepted that recommended illuminance values change between 300 lux and 2000 lux in educational spaces. However, it is not possible to get these illuminance range at the same level during the day, as the classrooms have been used all day period. To create more satisfied daylit spaces, movable shading systems become a solution because of their ability of guiding the direct daylight in day period. To evaluate the daylight performance of movable shading systems, dynamic daylight performance metrics have been used. This thesis focuses on comparing different types of movable shading systems developed as a result of findings of dynamic daylight metrics in a classroom. A classroom in the Department of Architecture in Izmir Institute of Technology was chosen as the case room measured illuminance values. It has been found that the level of illuminance values are much higher than the generally accepted values. The classroom has been modelled virtually and analyzed on a special software programmer in order to examine the findings of the field measurement. Two different types of moveable shading systems have been suggested and used to evaluate the performance of illuminance. When the results are evaluated, it can be understood that movable shading systems have a significant role on creating satisfied spaces in educational areas. Especially, single oriented shading systems, which represented as model 1 in thesis, are more successful to control direct daylight.

    A Prediction Model for Daylighting Illuminance for Office Buildings
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Binol, Selcen; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe
    Daylight is a primary light source for the office buildings where a comfortable and an efficient working environment should be provided mostly during day time. Evidence that daylight is desirable can be found in research as well as in observations of human behavior and the arrangement of office space. A prediction model was then developed to determine daylight illuminance for the office buildings by using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). A field study was performed to collect illuminance data for four months in the subject building of the Faculty of Architecture in .zmir Institute of technology. The study then involved the weather data obtained from the local Weather Station and building parameters from the architectural drawings. A three-layer ANNs model of feed-forward type was constructed by utilizing these parameters. Input variables were date, hour, outdoor temperature, solar radiation, humidity, UV Index, UV dose, distance to windows, number of windows, orientation of rooms, floor identification, room dimensions and point identification. Illuminance was used as the output variable. The first 80 of the data sets were used for training and the remaining 20 for testing the model. Microsoft Excel Solver used simplex optimization method for the optimal weights. Results showed that the prediction power of the model was almost 97.8%. Thus the model was successful within the sample measurements. NeuroSolutions Software performed the sensitivity analysis of the model. On the top of daylight consideration, this model can supply beneficial inputs in designing stage and in daylighting performance assessment of buildings by making predictions and comparisons. Investigation about this subject can be able to support the office buildings. having intended daylighting comfort conditions.

    The Peculiarities of Light as a Quality in Architecture
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2000) Kutlu, H. Gökhan; Erkarslan, Özlem
    This study focuses on the evolution of lighting, both natural and artificial, and its effects on space. The twentieth century is taken as a focal time period, which had witnessed great developments in lighting field that caused inevitable transformations on space and spatial concepts. The evolution of artificial light, the significant innovations in building technology, and the new requirements formed under the desires of a new society are examined in their relation to architectural context with respond to light and lighting in space.The research includes cases from architectural and artistic world, and tries to investigate the role of light in the built environment. These cases are examined in a comparative way, considering the psychical and experiential characteristics of light in order to define its meaning for space.The study consists of two parts. In the first part the process of the evolution of lighting in the twentieth century, its position today, and the social, cultural, and technological alterations are examined deterministically. The second part is a classification of cases under the guidance of some concepts, which defines the interaction of light and space.
