    Renovating a Lecture Hall With a Glass Roof: a Case Study of Performance Based Design
    (ÖKK-Editions, 2013) Atça, Emre; İlal, Mustafa Emre; Başaran, Tahsin; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep
    In practice, architects, due to time and budget constraints do not analyze designs and evaluate alternatives from the building physics perspective. They expect this analysis to be carried out by engineers. Engineers mostly get involved late in the design process, after key decisions are already finalized, leaving them powerless to solve problems efficiently. However, rapid advances both in computing and engineering have produced various simulation based tools for evaluating building performance that architects themselves can employ early in the design process. The proliferation of these tools throughout the architectural practice and education is necessary for achieving higher performance levels. In this study, the brand new Lecture Hall at Izmir Institute of Technology, Department of Mathematics that is in need of renovations to improve acoustic, visual and thermal comfort is diagnosed through measurements and the possibility of foreseeing, through simulations, the existing level of performance during the design stage is explored.

    Thermal Simulation of Retrofits To Existing Mass Housing in Turkey for Energy Efficiency
    (Sila Science, 2011) Yıldız, Yusuf; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep
    Energy consumption in the existing residential building stock in Turkey is currently excessive. Mass housing, comprising a major portion of the officially-registered residential stock, carries enormous potential for energy savings even in the short run. This paper describes a case study in a mass housing area in Izmir, Turkey, in order to demonstrate the possibility of significant energy savings by implementing case-specific energy-efficient retrofitting scenarios and relating them with the payback periods. Building energy analysis software was used to examine thirteen scenarios consisting of various combinations of four main retrofitting options: addition of extra insulation for building envelope, replacement of existing glazing, regulation of air infiltration rate and indoor set point temperature. These scenarios revealed that annual energy savings of up to 62% are achievable and that the customer payback period for the best retrofitting scenario is 34 years.
