The aim of this paper is to present the conceptual framework of a TUBİTAK funded project titled "Developing a New Methodology to Improve Housing Quality in Turkey Based on Effects of Occupant Behavior on Energy and Comfort of the Dwellings". Although the objective of the project is the development of new methodologies and tools to be used for the definition of effects of behavior profiles of housing occupants on the energy consumption and usage of this knowledge for building new houses and renovation of existing buildings, here the first step of research has been executed. By defining sensitivity of occupant behavior on energy consumption, it is planned to classify different models of occupant behavior. With data provided, the aim is to develop an "occupant behavior labeling" which rates occupants instead of buildings. To provide the mentioned data, sensitivity analysis of existing occupant behavior will be analysed based on the Monte Carlo Methodology. This methodology is one of the most used methodologies to analyse accurate distribution of possible outputs relied on inputs based on probability. Inputs for this research are (1) number of occupants for each space (for weekdays and weekend) (2) behaviour for ventilation (Window open/closed and mechanical ventilation on/off) (3) control of heating systems (radiator on/off and/or thermostat degree). These data will be provided with survey and data logging of chosen a house occupant group. As a consequence of the research, the aim is not only to rate the behavior of housing occupants but also determine occupancy groups/labels. With this approach, based on occupant's behavior labeling, the aim is to realize fast and affective applications for renovation of existing buildings. Moreover, by evaluation/assessment of houses which will be designed in the future based on determined occupant profiles allow to produce high performance dwellings. © 2015 by Bozen-Bolzano University Press Free University of Bozen-Bolzano All rights reserved.

Water and Carbon Neutral Buildings: Systemic Approaches and Hybrid Strategies
(Institute of Physics, 2024) Violano, A.; Harputlugil, T.; 05.02. Mimarlık; 05. Mimarlık Fakültesi; 01. Çankaya Üniversitesi
In order to achieve a real green transition in the design, construction and use of the built environment, especially in contemporary urban contexts, it is necessary to assess the water saving benefits combined with binding energy efficiency and climate neutrality targets in a holistic manner. This approach cannot focus on stand-alone requirements. Special emphasis is placed on technological solutions that transform energy and water consumption from negative to positive at all stages of the life cycle, including construction and operation. The aim is not just to reduce expenditure, but to increase the effectiveness of the savings through an effective and cyclical approach over the long term. This paper presents the results of a research project that develops a set of integrated indicators in accordance with the Itaca Protocol standard, UNI/PdR Practice 13.0:2019, with the introduction of elements from the Level(s). The environmental indicator system is designed to simultaneously assess the requirements of water-neutral and carbon-neutral construction, in line with EU recommendations C/2021/2279 and C/2021/9332. The hybrid water-energy strategies used in the application of this system are evaluated in terms of their potential to achieve the aforementioned goals. This approach, illustrated by best practice examples, aims to provide a holistic assessment of the environmental performance of integrated buildings in contemporary urban contexts, taking into account both water efficiency and carbon reduction. The objective is to guide the technological design and construction of sustainable buildings, promoting a synergetic approach to water and carbon footprint management, starting from the case study of a building in Palermo. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
