Conventional energy use has brought environmental problems such as global warming and accelerated efforts to reduce energy consumption in many areas, particularly in the housing sector. For this purpose, bioclimatic design principles and vernacular architecture parameters have started to be examined in residential buildings nowadays. Thus, the demand for less energy-consuming houses has started to increase. In this study, we aimed to specify the significance of traditional architectural parameters for houses in the hot-dry climatic region of Diyarbakır, Turkey. Within the scope of the study, a case was based on the urban fabric of the traditional houses in Historical Diyarbakir Suriçi-Old Town settlement and the Şilbe Mass Housing Area was discussed. The courtyard types, settlement patterns, and street texture of traditional Diyarbakır houses were modeled by using DesignBuilder energy simulation program for the case study. Annual heating, cooling, and total energy loads were calculated, and their thermal performances were compared. The aim is to create a less energy-consuming and sustainable environment with the adaptation of traditional building form-street texture to today’s housing sector. Development of a settlement model, which is based on traditional houses’ bioclimatic design for hot-dry region, was intended to be applied in the modern housing sector of Turkey. Moreover, adapting local forms, urban texture, and settlement patterns to today has significant potential for sustainable architecture and energy-efficient buildings. According to this study, the optimum form and layout of traditional houses, which are one of the climate balanced building designs, provide annual energy savings if integrated and designed in today’s building construction. As a result of this study, if the passive design alternatives such as building shape, layout, and orientation were developed in the first stage of the design, energy efficient building design would be possible. The study is important for the continuation of traditional sustainable design.

Producing recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste generated by earthquakes and using it as raw material in concrete production would be effective for urgent waste management after disasters and to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production by decreasing resource use. In this study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) method was used to examine the environmental implications of concrete produced using recycled aggregates (RA) derived from construction and demolition waste (CDW) of buildings demolished after the earthquake that struck Iskenderun and was centered in Kahramanmaraş. In addition, the environmental consequences of an equal volume of concrete produced in the same location utilizing natural aggregates (NA) were assessed. For the LCA of these two types of concrete, openLCA software and the ReCiPe midpoint database were used. LCA was conducted considering terrestrial ecotoxicity, climate change, terrestrial acidification, photochemical oxidant formation, marine ecotoxicity, human toxicity, freshwater ecotoxicity, ozone depletion, particulate matter formation, marine eutrophication, and ionizing radiation impact factors. The results show that cement has the highest impact on the environment by far.

In this paper, the thermal performance of opaque ventilated façades (OVFs) in the Mediterranean climate zone, where passive cooling is a priority, was examined using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Simulations were carried out to analyse the behaviour of OVF components under different geometric configurations, using weather data for three cities in Turkey that reflect the climatic conditions of a first-degree day region. These data include the air cavity thickness, outlet size, and air cavity height. Unlike in previous literature, two-way outlet ventilation is employed in this study in the analysis of different façade systems for the Mediterranean climate region, and its performance in reducing solar gain is determined. According to the samples examined within the scope of the criteria outlined herein, it was determined that the rate of heat transferred indoors through the façade can be reduced within the range of 69 % to 75 %.

İklim değişikliği, kuraklık, sel gibi doğal afetler 21.yy’da kentlerin sık olarak karşılaştığı problemler arasında gösterilmektedir. Kentsel sürdürülebilirlik konusu günümüzde sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine ulaşmak için önemli bir kaynak olarak gösterilmektedir. Bu bağlamda dünya üzerindeki birçok ülke çevresel felaketlere ve tehlikelere karşı koymak amacıyla kentsel sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri çerçevesinde önlem almaya başlamıştır. Geniş perpektifte sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik ölçekte kentlerin afetlere karşı kırılgan özellikleri belirlenmiş ve problemlere çözümler getirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu bağlamda çalışma kapsamıda Diyarbakır Tarihi Suriçi kent dokusunda yer alan Alipaşa-Lalebey Mahallesinde uygulanmış olan kentsel yenileme projeleri eski kent dokusuyla karşılaştırılarak çevresel, ekonomik ve sosyal sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada literatür araması, GIS (Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemi), alan çalışması ve derinlemesine görüşmeler yöntem olarak kullanılmıştır. Eski-yeni yerleşim dokusuna ait Koruma Amaçlı İmar Planı ile Kentsel Yenileme Projeleri ArcMap programı kullanılarak haritalandırılmış daha sonra da sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda Alipaşa-Lalebey Mahallesinde uygulanan kentsel yenileme projesinde yeni konut dokusunun geleneksel dokuya kapsamlı şekilde referans vermediği sonucuna varılmıştır. Sokak dokusunun değiştirilmesi, yapı adası, parsel-yapı tipolojilerindeki mekânsal değişimler, geleneksel yapım teknikleri ve malzemenin kullanılmaması kültürel mirasın ve toplumsal hafızanın korunmasının önüne geçen çevresel ve sosyal sonuçlar olarak karşımızda çıkmaktadır. Yerel kaynakların etkin şekilde kullanılmaması ve geleneksel meslek kollarına olan ihtiyacın azalması ekonomik sürdürülebilirlik göstergelerinin uygulanmamasına yol açmıştır. Literatürde geleneksel tarihi bir dokuda gerçekleşen kentsel yenileme proje uygulamalarını sosyal, ekonomik ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik göstergeleri bağlamında ele alan kaynakların bulunmaması çalışmanın özgün değerini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, gelecekte sıcak-kuru iklim bölgelerinde tarihi dokuda planlanacak olan kentsel yenileme projelerinde, sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik kentsel sürdürülebilirlik prensiplerini bütüncül şekilde alarak daha etkili sürdürülebilir kentlerin oluşmasına rehberlik etmeyi hedeflemektedir.
