    Work Characteristics, Visual and Energy Needs in Office and Factory Lighting
    (International Journal of Science and Technology, 2018) Öztürk, Yasemin; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; 02.02. Department of Architecture; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    The visual effect of lighting effects health and comfort conditions of a working place. Lighting design requirements are based on the function of spaces. Healthy and comfortable work spaces increase user motivation, mentally support them, improve concentration and physically decrease accidents. Lighting strategies applied to the offices are arranged according to working hours and needs of the user, while they are needed to be implemented more systematically in factories than the offices due to the industrial characterization including task types, machines/equipment, etc. Working styles influence the lighting strategies. The purpose is to prevent the undesired reflection from the computer screen in offices, while it is essential to provide an environment that decreases the work accidents in industrial buildings. Color rendering index is a vital issue to determine the reality sense of color mostly necessary for reading tasks in offices. Energy requirements can be lower by LED technologies in factories and by auto controlled systems in the open plan offices to apply appropriate daylighting plan. So, working time, working style color rendering index and energy benefits are discussed regarding two workspaces, offices and factories, comparatively. Such a comparison can contribute to literature in terms of indicating key design considerations in two distinctive work spaces.

    Scale-Model and Simulation-Based Assessments for Design Alternatives of Daylight Redirecting Systems for Side-Lighting in an Educational Design Room
    (Middle East Technical University, 2017) Grobe, Lars Oliver; Hancı Geçit, Burcu; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Altınkaya, Gülce; Aksakarya, Gizem; Grobe, Lars Oliver; Öztürk, Yasemin; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; 02.02.

    Daylight has been proven to have positive effects on well-being, comfort and performance of occupants in buildings; it specifically increases learning performance in educational buildings. Side-lighting from one direction leads to unbalanced and insufficient illuminance, especially in large and deep spaces. A design studio at the Izmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) in Urla, Turkey, has been chosen as an example of a space in such a context. Its geometrical attributes has taken to be the baseline. First, four daylight redirecting systems are applied on its 1/15 scale model to understand and compare their redirection behavior visually. Second, measurements on the scale model are taken to compare the daylight illuminance distributions. Third, to assess the overall performance in the sunny climate, illuminance and luminance maps for photorealistic visualization are calculated in monthly steps over one year. For efficient calculation of the time-steps to be considered, the daylight coefficient method has been applied. Though light ducts are found to be effective for high sun angles, in summer and equinoxes; very low illuminance in entire space make them fail in winter. Light shelves are determined to be the most convenient ones for this space, since they provided sufficient, uniform and high illuminance in equinoxes and winter.
