In recent years despite
increased use of renewable energy sources, to meet the energy requirements
still largely continue to use fossil fuels. Using fossil fuel both damage to
the natural environment and consume energy resources in limited stock.
Especially building and structures has a large ratio of this energy consumption
from erecting phase to accommodating period. Environmental pollution is the
biggest problems for using fossil fuel in limited stock. These problems have
necessitated to revise building designs and to advance design procedure, to
diminish these main problems. In this context, "sustainability" and
"energy efficiency" concept, along with "sustainable architectural
design" and "energy efficient" design highlighting the active
and passive design criterias has emerged.
Active design criteria are
not directly affect energy requirements in buildings, and the cost of energy
has been supporting businesses. However, passive design criteria, to affect
such as building form, building orientation and building envelope’s
thermophysical properties, directly affect the consuming energy and cost of
energy. For these reasons, passive design criteria’s are more dominant and more
important in terms of sustainability and energy efficiency.
In this
study, context of Sustainability and energy efficiency, the Anadolu University,
Department of Industrial Engineering Academic and Administrative Staff’ rooms
are modeled in energy simulation program. And was acquired calibrated
simulation of heating energy consumption of this building block by entering
internal environment and climate data, pursuing IMPVP regulations. And then
using different window wall ratio alternatives was recalculated energy
consumption, in this calibrated model. For use in energy efficient design in
this regard; window wall ratio alternatives and its impact on the energy
performance has been demonstrated.
