Cities consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO₂ emissions. Given these negative impacts, cities are major contributors to climate change, one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. As dynamic organ…

This review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing energy efficiency within heritage buildings, focusing on balancing sustainability goals with the preservation of historical and architectural integrity. AI technologies such as Building…

This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

This paper examines the development of sustainable architectural design strategies in office buildings from 1970 to the present. Drawing on literature, policies, and historical examples, it traces the transformation of sustainability from a loosely defined env…

İşletmelerin ekonomik , çevresel ve sosyal faaliyetlerinin sonuçlarının raporlanmasını içeren sürdürülebilirlik raporlarının Türkiye’deki işletmelerde kullanımı artmıştır. Teknolojik gelişmeler, artan küresel rekabetle baş edebilmek için işletmeler bu raporl…

Artificial lighting is an important part of global electricity consumption. At office buildings, the energy consumed by artificial lighting can reach up to 40% of total energy consumption. This work is being done to find solutions to such problems with energy …

Moda endüstrisinde hızlanan üretim ve tüketim döngüsü ciddi çevresel sorunlara yol açmaktadır. Bu nedenle sürdürülebilir tasarım ve üretim uygulamaları büyük önem kazanmıştır. Temelleri 1960’lı yıllarda atılan sürdürülebilirlik hareketi, moda endüstrisinde çev…

Energy demand in the 21st century is increasing continually. This increase in energy demand is one of the factors affecting the increase in universal problems. Energy is produced using both renewable and non-renewable resources. Therefore, energy consumption…

Energy is at the forefront of the needs to maintain the continuity of life and make it easier, and the energy demand is increasingly dependent on population growth. Today, fossil energy resources are widely used to meet energy demand and renewable energy resou…

The waste problem has become a non-ignorable issue in apparel industry like other manufacturing industries and the concept of sustainability has come to the forefront. The term ‘sustainability’ refers to the long-term viability of business operations and their…

This study emphasizes the significance of integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a process throughout its entire life cycle, as a vital tool for cultural heritage conservation in Türkiye. The …

The unlimited nature of consumption and needs contrasts with the scarcity of usable resources, necessitating the optimal use of available resources. Alongside the careful protection of the environment and human health, it is crucial to meet needs with maximum …

A theoretical design assessment performed here to evaluate the idea of utilizing wave energy in the Red sea to power electric-cargo ships, in the route between Port Sudan and Jeddah Islamic port. The calculated mean wave power in 2018 was (1.4 MW), five wave p…

The successful estimation of future electricity consumption has a crucial importance in the energy planning. Because, in order to meet rising energy demand, policy makers should formulate electricity supply policies and make critical decisions and develop ne…

Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are widely adopted for sustainable energy production; however, physical defects such as glass breakage significantly reduce panel efficiency and system output. In this study, a real-world case analysis was conducted on a 1003 kW…

Building automation and control systems (BACs) allow plants in buildings to be controlled and managed, thus increasing the users' comfort and reducing the operation and maintenance costs. As far as the lighting services are concerned, control systems offer an …

Environment and climate change caused by human life negatively affects our world on a global scale. The need for sustainable technological solutions to minimize these disadvantages is becoming increasingly imperative. Nanotechnology is entering our lives at th…

This study presents a Hybrid Digital-Physical Risk Management Framework designed to enhance urban climate resilience through the integration of Industry 4.0 technologies. By combining real-time IoT sensor networks, AI-based predictive analytics, and blockchain…

The collective system, which includes the automation system, data exchanges and production technologies is referred to as Industry 4.0. This system has two main components. The first is the new generation of software and hardware, and the second is the cyber p…

Renewable energy can be produced by using kinetic energy of the flowing water such as rivers, ocean currents and tidal flows. The kinetic energy can be transformed to the power by hydrokinetic turbines. There are many different designs of hydrokinetic turbin…
