Windows are one of the thermally weakest parts of a building envelope and climate change is becoming an increasingly important parameter in evaluating the energy performance of buildings. This study investigated the effect ...

The aim of this study is to determine the changing contribution of passive design strategies to maintain thermal comfort conditions under climate change in Turkey. A bioclimatic chart developed by Givoni was used for the ...

Built environment is a problematic issue from an energy use perspective because an important part of total energy consumption in countries is usually caused by existing buildings. Current buildings stock constructed before ...

Night ventilation is one of the passive cooling techniques commonly used and various theoretical and experimental studies on this subject are available in the literature. However, the effects of climate change are not taken ...

On account of the global warming, there is an increased concern about the overheating risk in free running buildings. This study investigates the influence of local energy efficiency standard, TS 825and climate change on ...

In this study, heating and cooling requirements in existing and new built apartment blocks were investigated based on the projected impacts of climate change for three different cities of Turkey, i.e. Ankara, Istanbul and ...
