A Literature Survey on Integration of Wind Energy and Formal Structure of Buildings at Urban Scale
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2018) Paltun, Serpil; Gultekin, Arzuhan Burcu; Celebi, Gulser; 2919
Providing the needed and indispensable steady, quality and safe energy is one of the most important issues today. Wind energy is one of the most important renewable energy source. Wind energy has found uses much more in water pumping and obtaining electricity in rural areas until last years. Today, wind energy has taken its place in the energy sector as an alternative source of energy production. High-density building arrays within a city, the combination of indoor and outdoor spaces with different purposes effect wind flow and acceptable wind comfort. In urban areas, wind energy and wind comfort are important requirements. Not only in new urbanisation areas but also for existing urban areas and city centers acceptable wind comfort plays an important role among and around buildings. When viewed from this angle, the aim of this study is enlightening the building aerodynamics, wind effect and wind energy in urban environment, and also giving information about how to analyze the wind comfort and design criteria in dense urban areas.
A practical approach to performance-based building design in architectural project
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Sayin, Selcuk; Celebi, Gulser
The aim of this study is to develop an approach that can enhance and contribute to the practical applicability of performance-based building design in architectural projects. The need for such an approach is based on the current lack of a practical application for performance-based design in architectural projects, despite the numerous studies conducted in this regard to date. The approach has been applied in a commercial building project designed by an architectural firm in Konya. The performance evaluation of the design developed in accordance with the requirements of the client/builder and the restrictions of regulations was carried out using IES VE 2014 software at a specific phase of the design process. Through this building performance simulation tool; the thermal protection of the envelope/heat loss and solar gain, thermal comfort (temperature, humidity), air quality (freshness), daylight and glare levels were evaluated for the selected spaces in the building, and following the evaluation, new design proposals were put forward to improve the design so as to meet the performance goal.
