Article Geleneksel Konutlarda Günışığı Aydınlığının Değerlendirilmesi: Kula Geleneksel Konutlarında Başoda(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2023) Battal, Cansu; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; İpekoğlu, BaşakDaylighting is one of the main factors among the features that determine the original space qualities in traditional houses. Illuminating the space with daylight also determines its ambience. Daylighting criteria should be considered among the features to be preserved in the usage decisions. In traditional dwellings in Anatolia, the main room is the most lavish room, which has projections and is surrounded by windows on three sides. Therefore, in the buildings which are conserved for reuse, the main room should maintain its original daylighting features. The aim of this study is to draw attention to the maintenance of daylighting features in the restoration decisions of traditional dwellings. Within the scope of the study, daylight performance of the main rooms of Kaçiklar and Zabunlar Houses selected in Kula, Manisa was evaluated. The daylight illuminance of the main rooms was measured during the four seasons; by calculating the ratio of the window area to the floor and wall areas, reflectance of surface materials and normal-normal transmittance of window glass were calculated. Results showed that daylight illuminance of the main room in Kaçiklar House was not sufficient for all four seasons, while it was in Zabunlar House. As a result, while the restoration decisions are developed, opening the closed window in the main room of Kaçiklar House, cleaning the paint on the top windows and and selecting a light-coloured wall finishing material will increase the reflectance value and will positively affect the daylight illuminance; in Zabunlar House, on the other hand, removing the existing wooden glazing in the sofa in order to increase the daylight provided through the sofa and increasing the reflectance value by choosing a light-coloured wall finishing material will increase the daylight illuminance of the main room.Article Citation - WoS: 27Citation - Scopus: 34Multi-Zone Optimisation of High-Rise Buildings Using Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Metropolises. Part 2: Optimisation Problems, Algorithms, Results, and Method Validation(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2021) Ekici, Berk; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Turrin, Michela; Taşgetiren, M. Fatih; Sarıyıldız, I. SevilHigh-rise building optimisation is becoming increasingly relevant owing to global population growth and urbanisation trends. Previous studies have demonstrated the potential of high-rise optimisation but have been focused on the use of the parameters of single floors for the entire design; thus, the differences related to the impact of the dense surroundings are not taken into consideration. Part 1 of this study presents a multi-zone optimisation (MUZO) methodology and surrogate models (SMs), which provide a swift and accurate prediction for the entire building design; hence, the SMs can be used for optimisation processes. Owing to the high number of parameters involved in the design process, the optimisation task remains challenging. This paper presents how MUZO can cope with an enormous number of parameters to optimise the entire design of high-rise buildings using three algorithms with an adaptive penalty function. Two design scenarios are considered for quad-grid and diagrid shading devices, glazing type, and building-shape parameters using the setup, and the SMs developed in part 1. The optimisation part of the MUZO methodology reported satisfactory results for spatial daylight autonomy and annual sunlight exposure by meeting the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards in 19 of 20 optimisation problems. To validate the impact of the methodology, optimised designs were compared with 8748 and 5832 typical quad-grid and diagrid scenarios, respectively, using the same design parameters for all floor levels. The findings indicate that the MUZO methodology provides significant improvements in the optimisation of high-rise buildings in dense urban areas.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 27Exploring the Impact of External Shading System on Cognitive Task Performance, Alertness and Visual Comfort in a Daylit Workplace Environment(SAGE Publications Inc., 2019) Leccese, F.; Salvodori, G.; Öner, Merve; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeThe authors examined the effect of external shading system on cognitive performance, alertness and visual comfort of visual display terminal (VDT) users under two realistic office lighting settings in this study. Daylight was the source of illumination being considered as the most significant and preferred one. A total of 26 participants performed visual and cognitive demanding tasks as well as providing subjective alertness, performance and visual evaluations in a full-scale mock-up VDT workstation. Two trials (with and without shading system) were executed during one experimental session. Results revealed that the use of a shading system improves the performance of a user on colour-naming task requiring sustained attention, while no differential effects were observed on tasks involving other cognitive skills such as search velocity and vigilance. Within-subject performance differences were more pronounced during morning hours. Higher performance was reported in some cognitive tests when the subjective sensation of visual discomfort was lower.Master Thesis Thermal comfort evaluation in intelligent buildings; case study in Darüşşafaka Residence(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2009) Soykan, Esra; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeBuilding performance evaluation studies has been an important research area in recent years. Technologic developments, increasing demands of users, complexity of buildings, increasing energy consumption in complex buildings and economic factors force designers to find new solutions. There are several studies in literature using building evaluation techniques to suggest standard values for comfort conditions. Intelligent buildings, that have purpose to fulfill comfort conditions effectively while minimizing energy consumption, take an important part in performance evaluation studies.The main objective of this study is evaluating the indoor thermal comfort conditions in a selected building, in terms of thermal comfort requirements. An Intelligent building; Darüşşafaka Residence selected as a case building. The research aims to reach the refined and precise knowledge about thermal comfort requirements. Complex structures and intelligent buildings are often preferred in building evaluation studies. In this study the research field is a residential building, a kind of dormitory for old people over the age of 65. Thermal comfort evaluation of the building has been conducted in two ways namely objective analysis and subjective analysis. Objective analysis includes field measurements of variables that affect thermal comfort.Measurements done by specific equipment called data logger. Subjective data analysis acquired by occupant.s ideas with interviews. Quantitative data obtained from the objective analysis supported by the qualitative data acquired from individuals. Thus, the results of thermal comfort conditions are interpreted with respect to various thermal sensations of old people. Using both objective and subjective results permitted to evaluate the thermal perception of users.Article Citation - Scopus: 3Climate Based Daylight Simulations With Evaldrc - Analysis of Daylight Redirecting Components(TU Delft Open, 2017) Bauer, Carsten; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Wittkopf, StephenThe new calculation tool EvalDRC enhances current strategies for the simulation of Daylight Redirecting Components (DRCs). It is built upon RADIANCE as a core simulation engine and uses the daylight coefficient method, climate based sky models for annual simulations, and daylight metrics for data reduction. Contribution Photon Mapping is introduced as a new method for physically correct DRC simulation. Further new features are: separate True Sun Coefficients for a less approximated, more accurate treatment of the sun contribution and monthly breakdowns of the Spatial Daylight Autonomy, and Annual Sunlight Exposure metrics for more detailed information about DRC performance over the course of the year. To show the versatility of the tool, two application studies were carried out in which either measured Bidirectional Scattering Distribution Functions (BSDF) or detailed geometry models were used for the DRC simulation. © This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License.

Designers aimed to reduce energy consumption by developing different façade systems. Double Skin Façade (DSF) aims to increase thermal and ventilation performance in the interior. The depth of the cavity gap between the two façade layers with air inside may adversely affect indoor daylight performance. In addition, studies in the literature indicate that this façade system shows optimum performance in cold climates. With the right design decisions, the DSF system can provide optimum performance in hot climates. In building designs with DSF systems in these climate zones, daylight and energy simulations can make the right design decisions. However, the climate crisis (CC) is increasing air temperatures and sunshine hours in hot and arid climate zones. Simulations are based on current climate data, and the recommendations obtained may not show optimum performance in the future. The study aims to propose an educational building model with a DSF system that will provide optimum visual comfort for 50 years in the Mediterranean climate type (CSA). Meteonorm has created weather scenarios for Izmir for 2050 and 2080. Opossum and Galapagos carried out the optimisation process using this data. The study proposes models that will perform optimally in Izmir for 50 years. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Performance Indices of Soft Computing Models To Predict the Heat Load of Buildings in Terms of Architectural Indicators(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2017) Turhan, Cihan; Kazanasmaz, Zehra Tuğçe; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenThis study estimates the heat load of buildings in Izmir/Turkey by three soft computing (SC) methods; Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), Fuzzy Logic (FL) and Adaptive Neuro-based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and compares their prediction indices. Obtaining knowledge about what the heat load of buildings would be in architectural design stage is necessary to forecast the building performance and take precautions against any possible failure. The best accuracy and prediction power of novel soft computing techniques would assist the practical way of this process. For this purpose, four inputs, namely, wall overall heat transfer coefficient, building area/ volume ratio, total external surface area and total window area/total external surface area ratio were employed in each model of this study. The predicted heat load is evaluated comparatively using simulation outputs. The ANN model estimated the heat load of the case apartments with a rate of 97.7% and the MAPE of 5.06%; while these ratios are 98.6% and 3.56% in Mamdani fuzzy inference systems (FL); 99.0% and 2.43% in ANFIS. When these values were compared, it was found that the ANFIS model has become the best learning technique among the others and can be applicable in building energy performance studies.Master Thesis Effectiveness of Retail Lighting in Terms of User Satisfaction and Light Quality(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Ketencioğlu, Duhan; Kazanasmaz, Zehra TuğçeThe primary purpose of lighting design is to create visuality that can perform different tasks and perceive spaces and objects it means that visual comfort conditions. Visual comfort related with the quantity and quality of light. There are some points to be considered in order to ensure the lighting design that changes/determines according to the standards of each environment: light amount, color, direction, color rendering, and uniformity of light. All these determine the quality of lighting in the environment. Effectiveness of retail lighting related with how to design retail stores. In this study, which examines the effect of retail lighting in terms of human satisfaction and light quality, firstly what lighting is, its purposes and benefits are discussed. Then, necessary visual comfort conditions for stores, brand images and strategies, standards and requirements of lighting designs for customers are mentioned. This information was gathered by examining the main sources of lighting standards. In the studies conducted on this subject, it has been determined that there are incomplete studies examining "different age groups, socio-cultural groups, different store profiles, daylight effects and customer/employee satisfaction". For this reason, a survey was conducted in Boyner and DeFacto stores in İzmir Westpark AVM to support the study, and it was emphasized the effectiveness of lighting designs in terms of users' satisfaction and light quality.Review Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 7Optimizing Lighting Design in Educational Settings for Enhanced Cognitive Performance: a Literature Review(Elsevier Science Sa, 2025) Celik, Meric; Didikoglu, Altug; Kazanasmaz, TugceLighting has more functions than simply illuminating spaces. For humans, light is the main signal that aligns our body's internal clock, regulating circadian rhythms. This process instructs our bodies to wake up in the morning, become alert during the day, and feel sleepy at night. Disruption of these rhythms can impact neurological and psychiatric health, including cognitive performance. We can utilize light for mood improvements and better cognitive performance to create a suitable learning environment for students in educational buildings. These non-visual effects of light need to be considered from the beginning of the design process, making an interdisciplinary effort necessary. Even with adequate light and dark, the human eye reacts differently under various conditions, influenced by light's photometric and colorimetric properties. While natural sunlight is ideal for aligning with our biological clock, it is not always sufficient, making artificial lighting essential indoors. LED technology offers promising solutions, catering to our non-visual needs in the absence of natural light and providing energy efficiency. This study reviews the literature that includes students' cognitive performance and well-being, energy efficiency, running costs, and environment-related issues such as light pollution. It aims to explore the impact of lighting design in learning environments.
