Master Thesis Cogeneration Sustainability Study for the Izmir Institute of Technology(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Ahmad, Awais; Rodriguez, Alvaro DiezIn this study, feasibility of Cogeneration/Combined Cycle System will be evaluated for the Izmir Institute of Technology. Turkish Energy Policy lacks some key factors which need to be highlighted for achieving Energy targets. The first aim of this study is to compare the policies and implementation of combined cycle systems of Turkey with Europe and to analyze the steps carried out by European Countries to achieve sustainability. The main objective of this study includes the implementation of a combined cycle system based on the data collection from the authorities of the Institute to analyze the deficiencies of existing system and to propose a more efficient system for meeting the energy demand. Two systems were taken in consideration, a gas turbine and a reciprocating engine based combined cycle system, detailed energy analysis with emissions and cost analysis were presented to determine what case provides the best solution to meet the energy demand.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 26Indoor Environmental Quality in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering Laboratories at Izmir Institute of Technology(Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research (TUNCAP), 2015) Ugranlı, Tuğba; Toprak, Melis; Gürsoy, Gül; Çimrin, Arif H.; Sofuoğlu, Sait CemilIndoor air pollution in university research laboratories may be important to building occupants, especially for those who work in the laboratories. In this study, indoor air quality (IAQ) and indoor environmental comfort were investigated in research laboratories of two departments at a university. PM2.5, PM10, TVOC (total volatile organic compounds), and CO concentrations, and three comfort variables which are temperature, relative humidity, and CO2 were measured. PM2.5 concentration was determined gravimetrically by collecting particles on glass fiber filters, whereas the remaining pollutants and comfort variables were measured using a monitoring device. IAQ measurements showed that levels of all pollutants were under the limits in both of the departments except for TVOC in one laboratory which had a mean concentration of 182 ppb. The comfort variables were in the comfort ranges for laboratories in both of the departments except for temperature in one laboratory with a mean value of 30 °C. In conclusion, measures are needed for extensive uses of organic solvents because ventilation may not be sufficient to keep VOC concentrations within the limits, and to provide thermal comfort.
