    Integration of Daylight Use and Analysis in Double Skin Facades: a Literature Review
    (Gazi Universitesi, 2024) Kazanasmaz, Tugce; Ünlütürk, Mustafa Serhan
    Double skin facades (DSF) aim to save energy reducing the heat losses in buildings. They are visually appeal while allowing to use daylight efficiently. Such facade systems can reduce glare and distribute daylight evenly in the interior when compared to conventional facade systems. That is a result of cavities between two glass facades and locating sun shading elements in them, although this system provides a high level of transparency. As their primary purpose of application is to ensure thermal performance and ventilation, most studies in literature have focused on these. This study started with the hypothesis that studies examining daylight performance in DSFs are more limited than studies examining thermal performance and that daylight optimization methods are not used sufficiently in DSFs. In this context, the study aims to analyze studies focusing on daylight performance of DSFs. The review targets results of such current studies to guide future ones providing feedback knowledge. This may help to better technical developments in such facades and make them prevail in constructions or in retrofitting So, it contributes to literature in this sense. Recent studies are shown in tabulated form and interpreted in detail with graphics. considering their methodologies, daylight parameters and findings. Results show that the daylight parameter is one of the most important issues that architects or designers should consider from the moment they start the design, and they should make their designs based on the optimum penetration of daylight into the building. Consequently, this review presents that the use of daylight optimization has started to be used in recent studies dealing with DSFs. A DSF design can optimally get daylight into the interior can be made by using this method more frequently.

    EXPERIMENTAL AND ANALYTICAL EXAMINATION OF THE EFFECT OF DOUBLE SKIN FAÇADE SYSTEM ON BUILDING THERMAL PERFORMANCE;
    (Turk Isi Bilimi ve Teknigi Dernegi, 2021) Hülagü,S.; Göksal Özbalta,T.; Başaran,T.
    In this study, heat transfer in conventional single skin façade and double skin façade system was studied experimentally and numerically by using one dimensional time dependent approach and the effects of the façade systems on building energy performance especially heating energy was investigated. In this context, a mathematical model considering user behavior and window aluminum frame element effect was build by zonal analysis method to calculate the heat transfer in single and box type closed cavity double skin façade systems, and build model was experimentally verified. Experimental study was conducted in office spaces having single and double skin façade systems in Ege University, Civil Engineering Building’s south façade in January 2017. Next, verified model was used to study the heat transfer in the façade systems for İzmir’s climatic condition by using monthly average daily data. The change in thermal performance of single and double skin façade systems due to the climatic condition during a year was investigated by using the 10 year average climate data of İzmir (Mediterranean climate). It was found that double skin façade system acts as an insulator preventing extreme indoor temperature values, thus contributing to the indoor comfort level against changing outdoor conditions. ©2021 TIBTD Printed in Turkey.

    Investigation of Buildings in Alacati in Terms of Energy Efficiency in Architecture
    (Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2020) Avcı, Ali Berkay; Beyhan, Şefika Gülin
    Purpose Due to the depletion of natural resources, energy efficiency in buildings has increasingly gained a major priority. As vernacular houses contain accumulated knowledge to adapt to the climate, they have been crucial examples of energy-efficient architecture for the designers. In this manner, the study focuses on Alacati vernacular houses. The purpose of the study is to investigate and compare the energy-efficient architecture properties of different types of tourism accommodation buildings. Design/Methodology/Approach The accommodation buildings are grouped into three categories, namely Accommodation buildings converted from vernacular houses of the area, New accommodation buildings designed in the style of vernacular houses, and Accommodation buildings that have different architectural styles. Selected three sample buildings from each group are evaluated by energy efficiency principles. Building energy simulation models of the nine case buildings in total are developed to determine the building components' contribution to energy consumption by heating and cooling. The values from energy modeling are used to compare the buildings according to the checklist. Findings According to the results of the study, the density of space, natural ventilation, shading elements, and pitched roof type specialties of vernacular buildings reduce heating and cooling load. However, traditional stone load-bearing walls and bay windows, which are the most significant element of the building form, increase the annual energy demand. At the end of the study, Alacati Energy-Efficient Architecture Database Schema is presented in Table 10 as the outcome of the study. Research Limitations/Implications The evaluation of the case buildings merely depends on the annual cooling and heating energy loads of nine randomly selected buildings. Practical and Social Implications The assessment method used in the study provides the opportunity to identify the proportion of the effect of energy efficiency properties on the total heating and cooling load. Furthermore, the Alacati Energy-Efficient Architecture Schema presented as the ultimate product of this study is expected to guide the architects to design energy-efficient accommodation buildings, without compromising the vernacular architectural appearance of Alacati. Originality/Value The study focuses on the separate effects of the properties of Alacati vernacular architecture, instead of focusing on one property, or comparing case buildings on the energy consumption.
