    Bio-based and earthen building materials have recently started to be used again in seeking sustainable materials to combat climate change. Hemp-based building materials stand out as energy-efficient materials due to their favorable thermal properties, although they still have unstandardized features that vary by location. This study aims to investigate the thermal properties and energy performance of hemp-clay building blocks which are produced with local hemp and clay in the western Aegean region of Turkey for today and the future, leading up the research on hemp-based building materials in the Mediterranean region. The methodology of the research consists of laboratory experiments on material and building energy simulations via DesignBuilder software. Building block samples were produced with 27 different hemp-clay mixtures and tested using a quick thermal conductivity meter. Subsequently, the thermal performance of selected hemp-clay block was compared with conventional wall infill materials such as hollow clay brick, autoclaved aerated concrete, and lightweight pumice block via simulations of the annual energy consumption of an existing residential building in Izmir. Simulation scenarios were generated keeping wall thickness and U-value as constant for the climate of 2020, 2050, and 2080. Hemp-clay building blocks reduced the heating and cooling demands of the case building by 21% and 14%, respectively in 2020. Their energy performance outperformed the other materials' performances even if the scenario walls have the same U-value as hemp-clay walls in today's and the future's climate conditions. Consequently, the hemp-clay building blocks are apparent as a promising material to be improved in Turkey.

    Global Diffusion of Green Building Certification Systems (gbcs): a Lead and Lag Markets Model
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Kale, Serdar; Kale, Serdar; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    Global crises in our planet's sustainability emerged in recent history. Hence, the construction industry, which has the largest share in this situation, have witnessed the accelerated proliferation in the number of Green Building Certification (GBC) systems (such as LEED, BREEAM and Green Star) in the last two decades. GBC systems have received massive attentiveness from academics from numerous disciplines as a reasonable response to its accelerated proliferation. The general concepts described in preceding research endeavours on GBC systems comprise (1) evaluation benchmarks used in rating and weighting, (2) incentives and handicaps for acquiring a GBC system, (3) efficacy of a GBC system, (4) comparison of numerous GBC systems, and (5) systematic reviews of the research and studies. The research presented herein pays particular attention to a relatively disregarded research area on GBC systems: global diffusion behaviours. It conceptualises a GBC system as a product rating service provided in certain nations and employs the Mixed Influence Model to investigate this certification service's cross-national diffusion behaviours. Initially, this model was used to investigate population growth. Thereafter, its application has been widened to explore the diffusion of industrial systems such as goods, services, and innovations. The Mixed Influence model was constructed incorporating data from one of the oldest GBC systems, LEED. The results of the Mixed Influence model reveal the cross-national diffusion behaviours of the GBC systems.

    Life Ciycle Assessment (lca) Based Home Rating Model for Izmir (hrm-Izmir)
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2007) Bozkurt, Eray; Erdoğdu Erkarslan, Özlem; Erkarslan, Özlem; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This thesis presents the development and application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based home rating model for residential buildings in Izmir. It aims to develop building performance assessment within a single application. This new application supports various considerations throughout the building.s life cycle in relation to performance domains such as site ecology, energy consumption, material selection, lighting availability, transportation and the rest of the performance indicators. It is intended to encourage initiatives toward achieving better housing performance. ATHENA Canadian Software tool has been selected to calculate quantitive values for energy consumption, solid waste emission, air pollution index, water pollution index, global warming potential, weighted resource use. Then, thirty performance indicators, which were selected from the review of existing evaluation models has been grouped under four building life cycle stages, site selection, construction, operation, and demolition. The weights of each category and indicator has been calculated, and converted into a credit score. Then, the performance grades are divided into five levels, (excellent, good, average, below average and poor) and evaluation criteria are suggested based on statutory performance value.

    Introducing Built Environment To Children: Learning Through the Recent Practices of Architecture Organizations in Turkey
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Önder, Ece Ceren; Akış, Tonguç; Akış, Tonguç; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    This academic study investigates the varying approaches for introducing built environment to children through the practices of architecture organizations in Turkey, namely the studies of built environment education. The practices of built environment education are novel and improving field of inquiry for Turkey which have influence for varying disciplines and also for the built environment itself. The purpose of the thesis is first to identify and examine the notions belongs to both built environment and built environment education. This theoretical attempt is to understand and learn from the documented practices of built environment education for the children in international and national scale. Secondly, the thesis focuses on and criticizes the selected cases from Ankara and İzmir in order to construct the implementation mapping to compare each selected educational practices. Besides, the study offers and implements an alternative case analysis in Turunç town / Muğla in the context of built environment education as a result of the examinations and observations of the previous studies held in local and international level. This special case is examined and evaluated as a part of the workshop series of “Turunç Mud Brick Preschool Workshops†. This analysis is to pursuit the ways of establishing an interactive learning and collaborating platform with the children, the local people, the volunteers and the professionals worked in Turunç within the same collective purpose for the awareness of built environment. Key words: architecture organizations, built environment, built environment education, children and architecture.
