Enerji verimli bina tasarım stratejileri kapsamında uyarlanabilir yeniden kullanım sürecinin değerlendirilmesi: Geleneksel Şanlıurfa evi örneği

Nowadays, sustainability has come to a very important point in construction, as it is in every subject. In the context of sustainability in construction, it is very important to extend the useful life of existing buildings until the end of their physical life and to prevent them from being idle. The reasons such as the outdated function of the buildings and the inability to answer the needs of the users of the building are among the reasons for the end of the building's using life. Elimination of these reasons by applying building conversion strategies instead of demolishing and rebuilding the building can reduce the negative environmental effects and energy consumption that will occur in the demolition and reconstruction of the building. This thesis focuses on increasing the sustainability of the building with adaptive reuse one of the building conversion strategies, improving the thermal and lighting comfort of the building with energy-efficient solutions, the processes of adaptive reuse and retrofitting strategies, and the importance of planning both strategies together. In this thesis, a traditional residential building, which was restored after being idle, and whose function was transformed with adaptive reuse, was chosen for the field study. The sustainability of the selected building after restoration and adaptive reuse, the current state of user comfort, and the energy consumption of the building were determined by on-site research, measurements, and simulation method. As a result of the determinations made, improvement suggestions were developed to improve the thermal and lighting comfort in the building in an energy-efficient way.
