    Professionals' Awareness on the Application and Use of Building Integrated Photovoltaic Systems
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Tüten, Aysen; Tüten, Aysen; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe
    In this thesis research, broad definition of solar energy, photovoltaic systems and building integrated photovoltaic systems, their application forms, usage in building subcomponents and examples on the usage of building integrated photovoltaic systems are involved. By the application of the survey method, the awareness of professionals on the application and use of photovoltaic systems integrated into the building were examined. This questionnaire consists of 3 sections: the general definition of solar energy (A), the general description of photovoltaics integrated into the building (B), and the application of integrated photovoltaics to the building (C). The survey questions consist of multiple choice, matching questions, true-false questions and interpretation questions. The responses given to the questionnaire were analyzed in terms of the number of participants and percentage based by comparing them tabularly and diagrammatically. The importance of the study is to enable practitioners, academics, architects and engineers to realize their knowledge about BIPV systems, to understand the importance of these systems in terms of energy efficient design approach and to encourage them to use these systems in their projects. And thus, spreading the use of BIPV in our country and all over the world, leading them to realize the energy efficient design approach. In the first chapter; after the general introduction of the subject of the thesis, problem description, research objective, thesis content and methodology are mentioned. In the second chapter; the definition and technical problems of BIPV systems, usage areas of BIPV, case buildings, performance evaluations, market opportunities and applicability are mentioned. In the third chapter; the methodology section is included that consist of general information about the survey, survey questions and content, preselected buildings for the survey, information about the participants. In the fourth chapter; the results and analysis of the questionnaire, the comparison of the responses of the participants and the evaluation of the results, the comparison of the participant information and the literature information, and the evaluation of the results are included. The fifth chapter is devoted to results and evaluations.

    Energy and Environmental Performance Based Decision Support Process for Early Design Stage of Residential Buildings
    (İzmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Gerçek, Mümine; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep
    Deficiencies in systematic approaches for design decision support to increase energy and environmental performance of buildings in Turkey are projected as the major problem of this study. Rare usage of computational methods for evaluating and improving building performance, need for informational assistance in design, as well as lack of interaction between systematic knowledge and building practice are the secondary problems. This thesis mainly aims to test usability of the decision support process assisting architects in early design stages of residential buildings. Assessing the uncertainties in building performance caused by design parameters and climate change, in terms of determining the most significant parameters on annual energy consumption for heating, cooling and operational CO2 emissions in hot humid climatic region of Turkey is the significant objective of the study. The relation between input parameters and building performance indicators is examined by the uncertainty and global sensitivity analyses for a residential building in İzmir, Turkey. The process is supported by usability testing held with the architect in practice. The results indicate that, the sensitivity between input and output parameters changes according to the projected weather conditions and different floors of the building. The SHGC of windows on south-west, north-east facades, and window U values are the most effective parameters on energy and environmental performance. The proposed decision support process is approved to be applicable for early design stages of the selected building, and helps creating consciousness about the importance of systematic design decision approach for the building professional.
