The society strives for sustainable development, in the construction industry it is expressed through sustainable building. Energy and LCC analyzes increases the ability to make conscious decisions in the process. A problem in the construction industry is that energy and LCC analysis is not used to the desired extent, as they are perceived as complicated and time consuming. The report aims to achieve a more sustainable building through increased use of energy and LCC analyzes.The goal is to show how BIM can be used to improve the efficiency of the energy and LCC analyzes. The study was conducted with a literature review and a case study to answer which information that is required in a BIM model to perform energy and LCC analyzes. The study also shows which software can be used in BIM based energy and LCC analyzes and how the analyzes can be carried out efficiently. The result shows that effective analyzes may be performed if the BIM-model contains the relevant information for making analyzes. Information not necessary for the analysis complicates the procedure. There are a variety of software that manages energy and LCC analyzes differently. The Software’s are optimized for different BIM platforms and they use various file formats for the transfer of information. Effective analyzes are achieved by following a proven method or guide with few steps in the workflow. Through knowledge of the capability of the used file format, the right information can be added to the model at the right point in the process of analyzes without loss of information. To increase the use of energy and LCC analyzes, an integration of the analysis tools into the BIM platforms would be necessary. / Samhället strävar efter ett allt mer hållbart byggande som reducerar påfrestningarna på miljön. Energi- och LCC-analyser(LifeCycleCosting, eller Livscykelkostnad) ökar möjligheten att fatta medvetna beslut i processen. Ett problem inom byggbranschen är att energi- och LCC-analyser inte används i önskad utsträckning då de upplevs som komplicerade och tidskrävande. Syftet med rapporten är att få ett mer hållbart byggande genom en ökad användning avenergi- och LCC-analyser. Målet är att visa hur BIM kan användas för att effektivisera energi- och LCC-analyser. Studien har gjorts med en litteraturstudie och en fallstudie för att besvara vilkeninformation som krävs i en BIM-modell för att utföra energi- och LCC-analyser. Studien visar även vilka mjukvaror som kan användas vid BIM-baserade energi och LCC-analyser och hur analyserna kan utföras på ett effektivt sätt. Resultatet visar att effektiva analyser kan genomföras om BIM-modelleninnehåller relevant information för att göra analyser. Annan informationkomplicerar analysförfarandet. Det finns en stor mängd olika mjukvaror somhanterar energi- och LCC-analyser på olika sätt. Mjukvarorna som kan göra energianalyser är optimerade för olika BIM-plattformar och använder olika filformat för informationsöverföring. Genom kunskap om filformatens kapacitet, kan rätt information tillföras modellen vid rätt moment i analysprocessen utan att information går förlorad. För att göra effektiva analyser, är användandet av en beprövad metod eller guide önskvärt. En möjlighet för att öka användandet av energi- och LCC-analyser, skulle vara att en integration av analysverktygen in i BIM-plattformarna utvecklades.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of windows and building envelope materials on the thermal performance of residential buildings, for the climatic conditions of Ankara. The effects of the thermal mass of the building envelope, together with the effects of glazing type and shading conditions of south-facing windows on thermal performance were investigated using two computer-based thermal analysis programs called: ECOTECT 5.0 and ENERGY-10. The hypothetical building model used for computer simulations was based on the sample residential building defined in the Turkish Standards on the Regulations for Building Insulation, TSE 825, as prepared by the T&uuml / rk Standartlari Enstit&uuml / s&uuml / (TSE, Turkish Standards Institute). Simulation studies were first conducted with ECOTECT 5.0, but since the results did not conform to earlier researches and, since this discrepancy could not be explained even by the support forum prepared by the authors of this software, it was decided to continue the simulations with ENERGY-10, which proved to be more consistent. The results of 240 program runs of ENERGY- 10 were explained through graphical and statistical analysis on the basis of annual heating, cooling, and total energy needs of the building model. The study showed that building envelope materials having high thermal storage capacities together with high-performance glazing, in terms of increased thermal resistance, provided significant energy savings, which could be augmented by increasing the size of south-facing windows. The study also revealed that shading devices in the form of fixed overhangs applied to a south-facing window of any size did not provide substantial reductions in the energy demands of residential buildings, when annual total energy demands were considered for the climatic conditions of Ankara.

The aim of this study was to investigate the thermal performance of residential units in the Middle East Technical University (METU) Campus, Ankara. The study was conducted on the unoccupied residential units to eliminate the occupant interventions. There were only three unoccupied residential units in the study period, hence sample was considered as randomly selected. Case study units were triplex row houses and all physical characteristics were identical apart from their orientations. The thermal performance of these three residential units was assessed by compiling data on temperature and relative humidity from a number of their rooms on certain days in January and February. The study was conducted in winter months, because heating loads are more significant than cooling loads for energy consumption in Ankara / the measurement period was determined according to the coldest days of the year. In this context, the temperature and humidity charts were evaluated and one of the units was simulated using the software tool Ecotect v.5.20. The simulation temperature charts demonstrate similar behavior and trends as the measured temperature / although, it was approximately 4 0C lower than the measured temperature. The possible reason for such a difference may be the precision of the material properties. Six different calibrations were tested by changing the thermal properties of the envelope materials to obtain comparable results with the measured temperature readings. Based on the calibrated model, it was found that an increase in the U-value of the envelope materials did not have a significant effect on the simulated temperature charts.

The aim of this study was to provide information about the effects of construction materials on thermal comfort in residential buildings using Ecotect 5.0. Three residential buildings, each of different construction in the province of Yozgat, Turkey were used as study material to this end. At the end of this study, the effects of materials on thermal comfort have been explained by graphical and statistical analysis. Pertinent literature reports that the thermal responses of occupants depend to some extent on the outdoor climate in naturally ventilated buildings with operable windows. Furthermore, an adaptation occurs in these buildings regarding the occupants&amp / #8217 / previous thermal experiences, the availability of control, and shifts in expectations. The study therefore focused on collecting data on both indoor and outdoor air temperature and humidity to show the comfort level in such buildings. By collecting data on 3 houses constructed of different materials the author aimed to show the effects of materials on thermal comfort. The analyses were further extended with computer simulations, which enabled restriction of the parameters on construction materials. The study has shown that in naturally ventilated residential buildings, construction materials affect both thermal comfort and thermal performance of the buildings. Buildings with traditional construction material showed a better performance in achieving the preferred thermal comfort while decreasing energy costs.

Final Report

The theme of this diploma thesis is the architectural study of the complex of the Farm of 3D Printers in Jaroslavice. The technology of 3D printing at its speed of development has far outweighed the response to its needs. It lacks a new systematically planned building typology corresponding to the requirements of farms. Farms adapt to the spaces. The main aim of the work is to introduce the possibility of turning the situation and adapting the premises to the farms. The thesis follows the urban design of the restructuring of the Jaroslavice landscape elaborated in the previous semester. The project respects established principles at microregion level in the form of emphasis on self-sufficiency, population integrity or the use of current technologies. The land is located on the southern part of Jaroslavice. There are 3 agricultural buildings located on the property, which until 2010, when a photovoltaic power plant was built, operated in conjunction with a neighboring agricultural court. After the power plant was built, the bonds were irreversibly broken. Buildings are in a very poor condition and mutual cooperation no longer works. The existing solution replaces and shows the possibility of using solar energy in a different way. Thus, the construction cartridge works with a hybrid typology where the 3D production area is combined with the maximum solar gains of the photovoltaic panels. Generative methods have been used to design dominantly either for finding a form in terms of achieving maximum solar gains or after verifying the efficiency of the structure. The proposal has several scenarios of possible development. There are four different stages of growth and the linkage of production areas. Printers are able to replicate themselves at such a rate that they can expect rapid growth. The proposal uses controlled growth methods to simulate complex development under the conditions of maximum solar radiation. Visual distraction and overheating are also solved by atypical sunsets on the exterior façade. Thin-film photovoltaic panels are used on the sun, so it is able to produce electricity besides the shield. The energy-efficient shape along with the great advantage of the layout solution, instead of the corridor disposition, is a basic cell on the central plan view. This makes it possible to control and operate more of the machines more efficiently. The production site forwards counts full robot automation.
