    The Implementation Model of Integrating the Three Sustainability Aspects Into the Undergraduate Architectural Design Studio
    (College Publishing, 2021) Mohamed, K.E.
    The concept of sustainability in design is meant to ensure that the product of the design is in harmony with humans and nature by taking into consideration the three aspects of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. The objective of this experiment was to integrate the three aspects of sustainability principles into the architectural design studio to train future architects to be able to design sustainable buildings. The study aimed to create an integration method that could be validated through the junior students’ work in the innovative Sustainable Architecture Design Studio (SADS) at Izmir Institute of Technology. The impact of the pedagogy on the students’ ability to integrate sustainable design principles into their projects was measured through the evaluation tools formulated for this purpose by the instructor. Further, the students’ feedback through course evaluation, questionnaire, and col-loquium at the end of the term was used to assess the method. The findings of this research demonstrated that the innovative studio pedagogy and teaching method were successful in integrating the sustainable design elements into design studio projects, while the level of sustainable elements integration was 68%. © 2021, College Publishing.

    Leed Certification: a Comparison of Contractors' Perspectives
    (Research Publishing Services, 2013) Doğan, Sevgi Zeynep; Günhan, Suat; Gerçek, Bilge; Arditi, David
    The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification system for green buildings has been used extensively in the US and has gained increased attention in developing countries as well. The related literature focuses extensively on the perspectives of owners and designers, whereas constructors' role receives less attention. One significant research is based on a survey administered to 22 contractors, who built LEED certified green building projects in the US. The survey inquired about earned LEED credits and best practices in LEED certification process regarding past experiences. The same survey was administered to seven Turkish contractors, who also built LEED certified green buildings in Turkey. The similarities and differences between US and Turkish constructors' perspectives were studied. Both groups stated that the LEED process was slightly difficult or was just straightforward. US contractors needed a lot of additional time for the LEED documentation; Turkish contractors required no extra time. LEED certification system incurred a little additional cost for US contractors; however Turkish contractors mentioned about up to 10% additional project costs. The achieved LEED credits from materials and resources, and indoor environmental quality by the two groups of contractors were highly correlated. Both groups emphasized the inclusion of LEED documentation and specifications in coordination meetings and in subcontracts to streamline the process; and emphasized the early collaboration of the entire project team for earning LEED credits.
