    Low Carbon Architectural Design
    (Gazi Univ, 2018) Balku, Saziye; Bal Kocyigit, Filiz; Architecture; Energy Systems Engineering
    Tendency towards sustainable energy resources is increasing and leading engineers and architects make joint efforts. Renewable energy potential present in nature can be used more efficiently so that while energy consumption is reducing, rate of energy gain, on the other hand, increases by architectural design methods. A sailing club in Golbasi, Ankara is designed as a low carbon building for optimum usage of solar and wind energy. It can be concluded using an energy efficient architectural design for a building before its construction makes it possible to meet the electrical and heat energy requirements at minimum cost and environmental friendly.

    A Modeling Approach for Designing New Acoustic Materials
    (Gazi Univ, 2024) Koçyiğit, Filiz Bal; Köse, Ercan; Buluklu, Hatice Mehtap
    In this study, mathematical modeling design based on Sound Transmission Loss measurement results of new acoustic material samples with natural content was carried out. Using the test samples in question, transfer function of acoustic materials based on electronic filter circuit design and a transition design method for the production of new acoustic materials by utilizing the transfer function is presented. Based on the experimental results of the test samples, it is the most suitable low-pass filter structure for the proposed design. In this study, active Sallen-Key low-pass filter structure is preferred and used. Sound Transmission Losses in dB (decibels) of acoustic samples were obtained experimentally for 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. fundamental frequencies in the literature. Based on these data, transfer function simulation suppression gain results were obtained in TINA-TI program, active filter circuit designed, and MATLAB program. When the other results were compared in the experimental results, it was seen that very close values were obtained. It has been demonstrated that the proposed method can be used effectively in the design and examination of new acoustic materials.

    Low-Cost Alpha Cabin Like Test Box Proposal for the Development of New Acoustic Sound Insulation Materials
    (Gazi Univ, 2023) Koçyiğit, Filiz Bal; Köse, Ercan; Buluklu, Hatice Mehtap
    Experimental criteria for sound insulation material recommendation and design have an important share in indoor acoustic control. Among these criteria, laboratories with devices such as impedance tubes, alpha cabins and reverberation rooms used to measure and analyze parameters such as sound transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient have been investigated. In literature, it has been observed that there are studies on acoustic materials and the tests applied to these materials, but the application is more limited. According to research data, an Alpha Cabin model system design that can be used to develop new types of acoustic sound materials has been proposed. In addition to the fact that a large number of experimental measurements can be performed at lower costs using the designed Alpha Cabin model system, many tests can be performed easily for different material designs in a very short time. To perform these tests, the Alpha Cabin system has been designed based on noise and sound insulation. For example, floating flooring, ribbed connection, and so on. Afterward, different insulation materials were used for insulation purposes and standards were achieved. The Alpha Cabin test system, which was designed and developed, overlaps the experimental and theoretical data for 500, 2000, and 4000 Hz when compared with the values of 29.1 dB for 500 Hz, 38.6 dB for 2000 Hz, and 49 dB for 4000 Hz measured in the Acoustic Facade Panel Test Room, and it has been observed that it can be used in the development of new sound insulation materials.

    Zero Consumption Monotype Education Buildings
    (Gazi Univ, 2018) Bal Kocyigit, Filiz
    Turkey has mainly seven geographic zones but four climatic zones. Major influence on energy usage and educational buildings which perform well in energy terms will reap significant environmental and economic benefits for years to come. The lack of electric, heating-cooling and lighting comfort in the structure reduce the quality of education. Many village schools cannot provide training in enough conditions. Municipalities are preparing "Type School Project" for government schools, without thinking different zones conditions, directions and heights. At this stage, there arises importance of the Architectural Design Process for typical energy efficient design which can easily adapt to the location. The material must not only be transmits about 70-90% of solar radiation, but also its insulation quality. Additionally architectural form of building must be affected to take all solar energy, wind and water. In this study, architectural design method has been used for energy gain from transparent insulated trombe wall. And have been calculated in accordance with their manners in the middle, south, noth, east and west regions of Anatolia which are located in different degree-days regions on the basis of TS 825.
