Article Economic Impact of Exergy Efficient Building Block Design(IJCEAS, 2017) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, Nicel; Mert, Süha OrçunEven after the end of 20th century, the details of connection between energy especially energy production-and the environment were not fully understood. The population growth in last thirty years, undeniable climate changes and the starvation of non-renewable energy source reserves leaves no room for doubt, however: energy and environment share a strong and significant connection. This perspective is especially important in the world of economics, considering the cost of energy for end users. This study covers the economic impact and gain of applying exergy efficient planning to a building block. The study hereby undertakes a case study to show that an efficient planning can help save energy, and thus money. The existing blocks of the chosen case had 2% energy efficiency, while the designs proposed in the study have 10-11%. The findings in this study show that an 8 % improvement in the exergy efficiency of the building block results in 780.05TL saving for a single housing. This sums up to 54.603,49TL for the building block annually.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Exergy Analysis of Mass Housing Areas: Mavişehir I and Ii, Izmir(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd., 2015) Mert, Yelda; Saygın, NicelIn this study, in terms of urban design, an exergy analysis of Mavişehir mass housing area in Izmir, Turkey is carried out based on spatial properties, shadow effects, wind effects and local climate to understand the importance of design strategies. The exergy analysis is applied with broad consideration covering the heat loads of the separate buildings for winter and summer. When the exergy results of Mavişehir I and Mavişehir II are compared it is found that Mavişehir II has less exergy by fuel and exergy load values. This may result from different design strategies in Mavişehir I where the same buildings and villas between residential buildings are located according to sea view, whereas in Mavişehir II, there is a heterogeneous pattern with various forms and heights of the residential buildings. It was also discovered that exergy efficiency of the area is 4.20% and the exergy flexibility factor is 19.3%.
