Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based approach to identity the best fit green building certification system for turkey
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2017) Said, Fatma S.
As one of the most important global issues, the sustainable development goal has been legislated by many countries in order to ensure the compliance of the projects. Thus, ensuring the compliance of projects with the sustainability requirements is considered important for development. In this research, a methodology is introduced based on a strategy to find out the most influential criteria and sub-criteria that shall be considered for the development of a green building certification system for Turkey. The research adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method by identifying the criteria and sub-criteria from the literature, as well as interviewing experts from different background; academicians, consultants and government decision makers. Using criteria and sub-criteria that are considered important according to the green building and sustainability studies, the questionnaire developed by the AHP software (Expert choice 11.5 academic version) is filled by the experts. The final results show that economy (cost) and efficiency are considered the most important criteria for the green building certification system in Turkey, while overall assessment success, registration and certification costs, and adaptability and reliability are the most important sub-criteria. The hypotheses testing show that the current certification systems are unsufficient for Turkey; and also the AHP method is thought to be successful for the assessment of Turkey's green building certification system.

Sustainability is a modern term that has been used on a large scale and at all levels of economic, social, environmental and even political, and where the issues of environment and architecture is the base engine for this thought, many attempts have emerged over the past year is to codify and framing this thought, in the form of guides and standards. Therefore, discussed the concept in his original named "sustainability", then move on to the concept of smaller and closer to architect works, "sustainable architecture", after it has been moving to the smaller circle and more deeper which had embodied the concept of sustainability Urban, (standards LEED and other global standards), even that many of the countries in the world which it has imposed as law, until it reached applied mandatory on some countries, and thus achieves an important part of the objectives of the research is to explore which benefit us of the concept of sustainability inherent in the architecture vernacular, application and make them as sources of architecture and modern buildings in generally and residential buildings in particularly. In many parts of the world, one can realize many distinctive examples of vernacular architecture, mainly houses. Although there were socio-cultural differences in each region, the design of houses retained a common architectural language that responded to both the common hot arid zone climate and the common religious needs. The heritage includes various forms of vernacular houses, which were developed in response to traditional, religious and cultural factors, along with the specificity of the local built environment, each architectural element in the vernacular architecture represented a solution or an answer to a different problem that appeared according to a specific condition, they were a sequence of related problems, which were met successfully to achieve a unified and a harmonious direction. The beauty of these traditional houses represents an art form which has resulted from an understanding of a unique mode of religious and cultural human life and the architecture vernacular principles embodies of sustainable development through the close relationship between the nature and a healthy environment as well as the building materials had a local and natural renewable sources. In fact that research aims to consolidate the concept of sustainability in vernacular architecture, LEED standard, BREEAM System, Green Arch and Estidama have been selected with the concepts and methods of vernacular architecture.
Importance of daylight as a component of sustainability in shopping mall examples
(2012) Al-Jubouri, Omar Hamad
The use of natural light in interior spaces of shopping malls is very beneficial because energy consumption can be reduced in this big scale building type and conditions for employees and numerous users of these spaces can be enhanced, which positively affect their health.

The research explores the effects of daylight in the interior spaces of shopping malls for achieving sustainable interior spaces. The research hypothesis is that shopping mall with more daylight will be sustainable in many aspects such as enhancing indoor environment quality, energy efficiency, and as well daylight affects human behaviors and psychology. This research would contribute to the awareness on the necessity and ways of providing daylight in buildings, especially in shopping malls interior spaces. Ways of bringing natural light into inner spaces will be examined through providing examples and studies which have been done in this matter.
