“…In Turkey, approximately 43% of the total energy consumption is used for industry, 37% for construction, and 20% for transportation [2][3][4][5]. The energy demand of the built In addition to responding to human needs in the best way, buildings need energy-efficient, ecological, variable, and comfortable designs that rely on technological developments [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Obtaining maximum efficiency from energy use and keeping energy losses to a minimum are the main objectives of the building envelope system research.…”

Double-skin facade systems are essential to minimize energy losses and provide maximum efficiency from the energy used. In this study, a corridor-type double-skin façade system was applied to the south front of the fifth floor of a five-story office building designed in Alanya, Antalya, in the hot climate region of Turkey. In addition, the usefulness of double skin facade systems in hot climate regions is determined by evaluating thermal and energy performance comparatively over three different parameters: material type, cavity widths between the two walls, and window opening ratios on the facade. This research is aimed to raise awareness around the comparative use of brick walls, wood, and composite panels with opaque qualities within the scope of material, with 1 m, 1.5 m, and 2 m as the width of the gap between the two walls. For all materials, thermal performance and energy performance decreased as the window opening ratio on the facade increased and as the cavity between the two walls decreased. However, worse performance was observed in the use of wood because of the low U-Value compared to the single-skin façade (SSF) building. In contrast, excellent performance was seen in using brick walls and metal panels compared to the SSF building, and overall, the metal panel showed the best performance. In the metal sample with a WWR of ten percent, the most significant reduction (27%) in annual cooling load can be seen.

Integrated lighting design is significant in terms of support energy performance and users visual comfort without expensive energy cost and comfortable environment in buildings illuminated by daylight. This study examines the illuminance levels of two chosen classrooms in the Department of Architecture at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University. Both classrooms were oriented in north direction, and one of them is one storey above of the other one. The purpose of the study is to determine the lighting performance of classrooms with or without the utilization of artificial lighting. Illuminance levels were measured at certain points by a luxmeter at three different times of the day for five weeks duration. After, average illuminance levels were determined for both classrooms and these illuminance levels were evaluated based on lighting standards. Chosen classrooms were examined regarding their illuminance levels. Measurement results show that the illuminance values in D205 classroom on the first floor was slightly higher than the D105 classroom on the ground floor. Based on the measurements, it was realized that the highest illuminance values were generally at midday (1386 lux at D205) and the lowest illuminance values were in the morning (64 lux at D105). The study will contribute to the formation of a preliminary idea about the lighting performances in the classrooms of architects and architecture students.

Building shape and orientation significantly affect how buildings use energy. The objective of this study was to establish a precise process for improving building shape and orientation early in the design process. A parametric optimization workflow approach was proposed for that objective. As a case study, a primary school building in an area with a warm and dry climate was chosen. Various building shapes (simple rectangle, L shape, U shape, court shape, and square shape) were simulated using parametric energy modeling and simulation tools to determine the EUI for each shape. Utilizing the Octopus plugin, optimization was carried out on the same canvas as the parametric tool (Grasshopper). The genetic diversity of the EUI value and the orientation and glazing ratio WWR were used as the optimization process' input variables. The findings showed that the square building form with a 17° orientation angle was the best approach for achieving the most significant development in the EUI value, reaching energy efficiency improvements of up to 40%.
