Aim 

Mobirise




To Design an Energy Efficient Building

Investigating the potential of different demand reduction measures within the mixed climate of Istanbul

Mobirise





To Incorporate Renewable Energy Systems

Designing appropriate renewable energy systems to supply the building. 

Mobirise

To Be Within A Reasonable Cost and Payback Period

Renewable energy systems must be within a reasonable cost & payback period. 

Methodology

- Temperatures
- Solar Radiation
- Humidity
- Wind Direction & Speed
- Economic & Regulatory Aspects
- Technical Constrains  

- Using Dynamic Modelling Tool (ESP-r)
- Building Fabric
- HVAC
- Control of Solar Radiation 

- Modelling supply using Dynamic Modelling Tools (Merit & PV Syst)

Methodology Flow Chart

Boundry Conditions

- The first step was analysing the boundary conditions of our building. The climate was analysed  as it is of great importance to the decisions that are to be taken in the later steps of demand analysis and reduction.
- Technical constrains analysis was also a major concern in this location as the climate is mixed humid that requires considering both heating and cooling.
The energy tariffs in Istanbul were studied at different times, as it was pivotal to the renewable enegy supply decisions. 

Demand Analysis & Reduction

After considering the boundary conditions, the base case demand was investigated to identifiy components that had the highest contribution. These were then targeted for the reduction measures to achieve an effective reduction strategy.

Renewable Energy Supply

After reducing the energy demand, it was now possible to achieve a high renewable energy penetration with minimum cost which would not have been possible with the inefficient base case.
