Fossil fuels used by traditional internal combustion vehicles today are quite damaging to environment. Because of these fuels, global warming has reached a very dangerous point. However, fossil fuels are gradually depleting. Therefore, it is inevitable that el…

The rapid growth of city populations and the increasing complexity of managing city infrastructure have led to the emergence of smart cities, which rely on advanced technologies to optimise urban services. However, one of the key challenges facing smart cities…

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 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…

There is a global high demand for creating smart cities due to the increasing population of the world and lack of natural resources. There are six stated criteria in order to be eligible to become a smart city, which are directly related to governance, economy…

The rapid growth of cities causes spatial and social changes and transformations. At the same time, planning theories and concepts are affected by change processes. While the search for innovative methods in urban development and applications comes to the fo…

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 …

The rapid urbanization and exponential growth in vehicle numbers have significantly increased the demand for parking spaces in metropolitan areas, creating challenges for drivers and urban planners alike. Effective detection of available parking spaces is cruc…

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 …

Enerji verimliliği alanındaki çalışmalar hız kesmeden artarken insanların konfor beklentileri de her geçen gün daha fazla yükselmektedir. Bununla birlikte, akıllı binaların sayısı da teknolojik gelişmelere paralel olarak artmaktadır. Günümüzde akıllı binalar h…

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…

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 …

Since the design of the first high rise building, the “Home Insurance Building” erected in Chicago in 1884-1885 only with 11 floors, new technologies encourage the designers to build taller and slender buildings penetrating through the sky. In the history, h…

The increasing world population has increased the demand for food. Many threats such as agricultural land use, environmental impacts, global warming and drought risks necessitate industrialization of agricultural production and optimum utilization of existing …

This study proposes a climate-adaptive framework for modular micro-living units as a construction-based response to growing urban challenges related to climate resilience, densification, and housing affordability. The design integrates prefabricated cross-lami…

At the last two decades the information world and associated information technologies have been progressed. This progress can be implemented from the concept of the internet to the internet of things. The Internet of things (IoT) refers to billions of electron…

In this study, some basic definitions and concepts related to smart girds will be given brief and concise information. Then, "Why is Smart Grid Needed?", "Equilibrium and Security in Smart Grids", "Current Situations of Smart Grids" Future Trend of Smart Grid …

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…

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…

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 …
