    The Relation Between Thermal Comfort and Human-Body Exergy Consumption in a Temperate Climate Zone
    (Elsevier Science Sa, 2019) Turhan, Cihan; Akkurt, Gulden Gokcen; Energy Systems Engineering
    Human body exergy balance calculation method gives minimum human body exergy consumption rates at thermal neutrality (TSV = 0) providing more information on human thermal responses than other methods. The literature is lacking the verification of this method in various climatic zones. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between thermal comfort and human body exergy consumption in a temperate climate zone. A small office building in Izmir Institute of Technology campus, Izmir/Turkey, was chosen as a case building and equipped with measurement devices. The occupant was subjected to a survey via a mobile application to obtain his Thermal Sensation Votes. Objective data were collected via sensors and used for predicting occupant thermal comfort and for exergy balance calculations. Under given conditions, the results show that Thermal Sensation Votes are generally zero at a T-i range of 21-23 degrees C and, are mostly lower than Predicted Mean Votes in summer while the opposite is observed in winter. Predicted Mean Votes at minimum Human Body Exergy Consumption rates were on slightly warm side while Thermal Sensation Votes are zero. It means that for given case, the HBexC rate calculation gave a better prediction of the environmental parameters for the best thermal comfort. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    A Case Study on Measuring Course Learning Outcomes in Software Engineering Education;
    (CEUR-WS, 2017) Karakaya,M.; Turhan,C.; Yazici,A.; Energy Systems Engineering; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    One of the most critical outcomes in the MÜDEK accreditation system which plays an important role in the evaluation and assessment of the quality of education in higher education institutions is evaluating how much students have achieved the course outcomes. This study aims to compare two methods utilized to measure course outcomes in the Software Engineering department of Atilim University. In the most general sense, these two methods are based on indirect and direct measurement techniques. The results of the analysis show a high degree of differentiation between the direct measurement and indirect measurement results. In light of the results obtained, some recommendations have been offered for course outcome assessment methods to be developed in the scope of MÜDEK accreditation.
