    Re-considering the energy efficient retrofitting approach to question cost-optimality and nZEB under COVID-19 measures
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2022) Yılmaz, Burcu Çiğdem; Yilmaz, Yigit
    The building energy performance has been highly studied in the last decades considering the indoor environmental quality, and sustainability indicators to examine energy-efficient cost-optimal, and nZEB building levels for different building typologies. However, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the usage and operation of public spaces and buildings have evolved according to COVID-19 measures produced by the authorities. Social distancing measures and HVAC system measures affecting energy performance and indoor environmental quality of the public buildings are consequently necessary for building energy performance studies. Thereby, it is aimed at re-considering an energy-efficient cost-optimal retrofitting approach for a primary school building case, under the COVID-19 measures to recast an energy-efficient cost-optimal level and apply a cost-efficiency criterion to search for the measures adapted nZEB scenarios. COVID-19 measures affecting building energy performance, such as social distancing and IEQ requirements, were analysed. Then, probable ventilation rates were controlled by the infection probability method to satisfy the limit number for infection. Thus, pre-COVID-19 and post-COVID-19 variables regarding occupancy density and HVAC operation were determined for the calculation process. Besides, retrofit scenarios were shaped to improve optic and thermophysical properties of the facade, lighting, and HVAC systems performance. Then, energy, LCC, thermal comfort and IEQ performance of retrofit scenarios were calculated with a calibrated model. Results were evaluated by applying the cost-efficiency criterion to find out nZEB scenarios. It can be stated that distinct LCC and energy use increments occurred in the cost-optimal range and nZEB level.

    Energy Performance Optimisation of a Single Dwelling Archetype Targeted to ZEB in the Earthquake Zone
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Yılmaz, Burcu Çiğdem; Yılmaz,B.Ç.
    A single dwelling archetype design subjected to be constructed in Gaziantep City to provide accommodation for the earthquake victims was researched in this paper. It is aimed to find out the optimum building orientation, window-to-wall ratio, and aspect ratio as design variables to achieve Zero Emission Building target. In this regard, the GenOpt Optimisation tool was coupled with the EnergyPlus simulation tool to run the simulations and optimise proposed design scenarios. A threshold value for primary energy use based on the EPBD recommendation document as a guide was improved to determine ZEB design scenarios. It is evident from the 56.43% primary energy use difference between the lowest and highest energy performance among design scenarios that optimum design variables are highly effective in terms of energy efficiency. Besides, 82 design scenarios achieving the ZEB threshold were elaborated from the design variables’ point of view that rectangular forms and low WWRs are optimal for the selected region. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
