Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7The Importance of Internal Heat Gains for Building Cooling Design(Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, 2017) Coşkun, Turgay; Turhan, Cihan; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenThis paper aims to investigate the effect of internal heat gains on the cooling load of a building. The house occupied by three adult men is selected as the case study for paper. The house is in the third floor of the apartment. The apartment has four flats and it has no insulation around the external walls. The heat dissipation from lighting devices, electrical equipment and the occupants are calculated by using the DesignBuilder v4 Beta release simulation program. The temperature of the house is observed during three weeks by using hobo data loggers and calibration of the measurements is made with respect to weather data file of the flat. Detailed schedule based on time of operation and occupancy is prepared to get more accurate results. Annual energy consumption and cooling load of the house is determined by using the dynamic simulation program.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 21Retrofit Strategies for Energy Efficiency of Historic Urban Fabric in Mediterranean Climate(MDPI, 2020) Ulu, Meltem; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Arsan, Zeynep DurmuşEnergy-efficient retrofitting of historic housing stock requires methodical approach, in-depth analysis and case-specific regulatory system, yet only limited efforts have been realized. In large scale rehabilitation projects, it is essential to develop a retrofit strategy on how to decide energy-efficient solutions for buildings providing the most energy saving in a short time. This paper presents a pilot study conducted at a neighborhood scale, consisting of 22 pre-, early-republican and contemporary residential buildings in a historic urban fabric in the Mediterranean climate. This study aims to develop an integrated approach to describe case-specific solutions for larger scale historic urban fabric. It covers the building performance simulation (BPS) model and numerical analysis to determine the most related design parameters affecting annual energy consumption. All the case buildings were classified into three main groups to propose appropriate retrofit solutions in different impact categories. Retrofit solutions were gathered into two retrofit packages, Package 1 and 2, and separately, three individual operational solutions were determined, considering a five-levelled assessment criteria of EN 16883:2017 Standard. Energy classes of case buildings were calculated based on National Building Energy Regulations. Changes in building classes were evaluated considering pre- and post-retrofit status of the buildings. For the integrated approach, the most related design parameters on annual energy consumption were specified through Pearson correlation analysis. The approach indicated that three buildings, representing each building group, can initially be retrofitted. For all buildings, while maximum energy saving was provided by Package 2 with 48.57%, minimum energy saving was obtained from Package 1 with 19.8%.Article Citation - WoS: 74Citation - Scopus: 85A Transdisciplinary Approach on the Energy Efficient Retrofitting of a Historic Building in the Aegean Region of Turkey(Elsevier Ltd., 2015) Şahin, Cem Doğan; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; Broström, Tor; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenAbstract Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union, yet at the same time they have considerable energy saving potentials. Historic buildings should be treated different from contemporary ones when it comes to energy improvements. The specifications which underline historical, sociocultural and architectural values require certain care during realization of energy saving implementations to sustain these values. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate how the energy efficient retrofitting in historic buildings should be managed in a transdisciplinary approach with a case study conducted on the historic building in ̄zmir - Turkey. A detailed building energy simulation tool was used to determine the impacts of energy efficient retrofits. The actual energy consumption of case building was based on the utility bills regarding electricity and heating fuel consumption. Building energy simulation tool was calibrated by comparing the measured and simulated indoor air temperatures and total energy consumptions. The inappropriate retrofits, which contradict to the cultural heritage values, were eliminated with a transdisciplinary approach. Later appropriate retrofits were gathered into three packages to evaluate their effects on the energy consumption. The results show that energy saving of more than 34% can be obtained without damaging the heritage values.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Impact of Thermal Mass for Future Energy Consumption: Case Study in Adobe House(Inderscience Enterprises, 2019) Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Yöney, Ekin GamzeThis paper examines thermal mass quality of building envelope as passive preventive phenomena for future energy consumption. It questions how much and what type of thermal mass is required for decreasing energy consumption according to future climate change. Summer energy performance of adobe house in Konya, Turkey is studied in terms of thermal mass characteristic by using dynamic simulation software. Measured and predicted microclimate data for 2017 and 2050s are used to compare passive impact of wall material choices, i.e. adobe, limestone, vertical hollow brick and volume of wall without night-time ventilation. In conclusion, the study reveals that thermal mass with lower density and thinner materials show higher energy performance for summers. Energy consumption is minimum with vertical hollow brick wall in 50 cm for 2017 and 30 cm for 2050s. It is deduced that thermal conductivity will still have higher impact than thermal mass on energy consumption.Master Thesis Retrofitting Existing Mass Housing for Energy Efficincy: a Case Study in Gaziemir Emlank Bank Housing Area, Izmir, Turkey(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2008) Yıldız, Yusuf; Durmuş Arsan, ZeynepEnergy consumption in the extant residential building stock of Turkey is excessive owing to an inadequate regulative framework regarding energy-efficient retrofitting, application deficiency and failures in heating insulation detailing regulated by TS 825 Thermal Insulation in Buildings. Mechanical systems through the operation period of buildings are out of inspection and occupant profile pays attention to size rather than the quality of construction. In the framework of research concerning harmonization with the EU, the building regulations of Turkey have been adapted to the EU Directives promoting energy efficiency and reduction of energy demand in existing buildings. The Turkish Energy Efficiency Law, launched in 2007 in this framework, is the most noteworthy step. In the light of retrofitted housing examples from 11 EU countries, the thesis presents effective and case-specific retrofitting scenarios for a selected residential block in Gaziemir Emlak Bank Mass Housing Area in Izmir, Turkey. The objective is to draw attention to the enormous potential for reducing energy consumption in existing mass housing areas through implementation of energy-efficient retrofitting applications. The thesis discusses scenarios to decrease the energy demand for heating and evaluates the effects of predefined scenarios on cooling loads of selected apartment block. The building energy analysis software, Ecotect v5.50, has been used for the assessment of heating and cooling energy loads based on the current and improved conditions of the building. The thesis demonstrates that it is possible to save almost half of the annual energy consumption of the residential block in Gaziemir Emlak Bank Mass Housing Area by applying appropriate retrofitting scenarios.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1Comfort Based Investigation on Historic Libraries for User Satisfaction and Preservation of Paper-Based Collections(IOP Publishing, 2021) Turhan, Cihan; Topan, Çağrı; Durmuş Arsan, Zeynep; Göksal Özbalta, Türkan; Gökçen Akkurt, GüldenHistoric libraries preserve cultural heritage values while housing rare manuscripts and paper-based collections. The collections in the libraries are deteriorated chemically, biologically and mechanically due to inappropriate indoor environment conditions such as temperature and relative humidity fluctuations and microbiological conditions. Apart from preserving vulnerable paper-based collections, accommodating of a considerable thermal comfort level for visitors is essential in historic libraries. The aim of this study is to analyse indoor environment of a historic library in terms of thermal comfort and preventive conservation of paper-based collections. Izmir National Library, built in 1933, is selected as a case study. Indoor air temperature, relative humidity and air velocity in the library were monitored with a one-year measurement campaign. Meanwhile, thermal comfort of the visitors was assessed with PMV/PPD indices and thermal sensation surveys. The results show that high chemical degradation risk is detected in the library while biological and mechanical degradations are in the low risk zone. On the other hand, 87% and 93% of the visitors feel thermally satisfied in heating and cooling seasons, respectively.Doctoral Thesis Development of holistic methodology for sustainable adaptive reuse of public heritage buildings: Dokuz Eylul gate building of Kültürpark(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2024) Güleroğlu, Selin; Arsan, Zeynep Durmuş; Akkurt, Gülden GökçenSürdürülebilir yeniden işlevlendirmenin sağlanabilmesi için yapının yeni işlevinin karar verilmesinden iyileştirme önerilerinin kararına kadar olan tüm süreci ele alan bütüncül bir yaklaşım gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma, sosyal, ekonomik, çevresel ve tarihi değerleri bütünleştirerek sürdürülebilir yeniden işlevlendirme için bütüncül bir yöntem sunmaktadır. Çalışmada geliştirilen metodolojiye göre birinci aşama yapının yeni fonksiyonunun belirlenmesine odaklanırken, ikinci aşama ise iyileştirme önerilerinin seçimini kapsamaktadır. Aşama 1'de, çevresel sürdürülebilirlik, kültürel değer ve sosyal etki gibi kriterler göz önünde bulundurularak toplumun talepleriyle uyumu garanti altına alıp, paydaş katılımını dikkate alan Analitik Ağ Süreci (ANP) kullanılarak binanın yeni işlevinin belirlenmesi önerilmektedir. Aşama 2'de kaynak verimliliğini ve malzeme yeniden kullanımını teşvik ederken, çevresel etkiyi azaltan optimum çözümler bulmak için enerji performansı, çevresel etki ve döngüsellik potansiyeli gibi ölçütlere dayalı iyileştirme önerileri belirlenmektedir. Geliştirilen yöntem, İzmir'deki Dokuz Eylül Kapı Binası üzerinde bir vaka çalışması olarak uygulanmıştır. Birinci aşamada, bina için en uygun yeni işlev olarak sanat galerisi ve müze belirlenmiştir.

Although there are various dynamic simulation tools that enable them to calculate building energy performance, the complexity of tools poses problems to model, understand process-centered simulation studies and interpret the results. This thesis aims to present, test, verify and criticize the modeling, simulation and calibration processes of residential building from architect's perspective. One of the effective ways to overcome global warming problem is by immediate involvement of architects into energy modeling process. Therefore, the study criticizes the role of architect in process-centered modeling. Process-centered modeling is tested with existing residential building conditioned with air-source heat pump in İzmir-Turkey. Indoor and outdoor environment were monitored from July 2009 to June 2010. Digital model of the building was created by using DesignBuilder dynamic modelling tool, and calibrated for three different periods of heating, cooling and transition. The problems faced during modeling and simulation based on professional knowledge of the architect and simulation tool was exemplified. Finally, the survey was conducted to verify the role of architect tool users in modeling process. Consequently, case study exemplified how the architect conducts a processcentered modeling, and survey showed how his/her modelling experience and knowledge is essential for right management of design process. Mechanical systems modeling is still challenging issue requiring knowledge and experience for architect users..Conference Object Building-Level Circularity Assessment in Urban Regeneration: A Mediterranean Case Study(Institute of Physics, 2025) Aral, D.; Khadim, N.; Kayaçetin, N.C.; Durmus Arsan, Z.D.As the urgency to operate within planetary boundaries intensifies, adopting the circular economy (CE) in the built environment has become essential to mitigate environmental emissions, resource depletion, and waste generation. However, CE implementation at the building level remains fragmented in rapidly urbanizing lower-income countries. There is a pressing need for robust assessment to quantify the current level of circularity and identify context-specific opportunities for improvement. This study aims to evaluate the circularity potential of a residential building block in an urban regeneration project in Izmir, Türkiye, using the Whole Building Circularity Indicator (WBCI) applied to assess circularity across key lifecycle stages and system levels. The results indicate a WBCI score of 0.17 (on a scale of 1 fully circular to 0 fully linear) and a moderate flexibility of 0.70. This reflects a linear building profile driven by virgin materials, mass-intensive construction, limited adaptability, disassembly, and low end-of-life recovery potential. The structure layer presents the lowest system circularity score of 0.11. The study contributes to the literature on building circularity assessment by highlighting the critical role of the assessment framework in guiding the built environment toward more resource-efficient and sustainable outcomes in Mediterranean contexts, and offers practical insights to inform policy development. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Effect of Building Envelope and Environmental Variables on Building Energy Performance: Case of a Residential Building in Mediterranean Climate(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Taşer,A.; Uçaryılmaz,S.; Arsan,Z.D.At least 30% of the World’s energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions originate from buildings. Thus, design decisions should be well studied during the design phase of buildings following energy efficiency approaches. Environmental variables and properties of the building envelope are significant for energy efficiency. Thus, this study aims to investigate the potential of a residential building in the Mediterranean climate of İzmir, Turkey, regarding decreasing energy use and understanding the significance of architectural decisions during the design stage of buildings. Eight design scenarios were created by defining seven variables affecting energy consumption for room electricity, heating, and cooling. The first three scenarios focused on environmental-related variables, i.e., surrounding buildings, ground surface materials, and building orientation, while the last five scenarios investigated building envelope-related variables, i.e., thermal transmittance of the wall, floor and roof, glass, window frame, and door types, shading elements, and natural ventilation. Then, energy modeling and simulation are applied to test their potential for minimizing energy consumption. Research findings proposed that early architectural design decisions significantly influenced the case building’s energy performance. Thermal transmittance of the building components provided an annual energy saving of 22.4%, thus, was seen as the best-performed variable for the case building. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2023.
