Sıfır enerji tüketimi için yenilikçi enerji tasarrufu ve optimizasyon tekniklerinin kullanılması

This master's thesis was guided to determine the critical contributions and essential benefits of various energy-saving strategies and optimization approaches to help achieve zero-energy consumption facilities that are more sustainable and energy-efficient. To accomplish this goal, the energy performance, profitability analysis, and thermal behavior were assessed and evaluated for a building in Turkey investigated as a case study. Extensive simulations and comparative explorations were carried out via the Python software package. Based on the mathematical simulations and numerical modeling research, it was found that using innovative insulating materials, passive cooling and heating techniques, and advanced energy-efficiency strategies could help improve the Turkish residential building's energy performance in terms of energy efficiency, occupants' comfort, and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, the results revealed that the Turkish facility's thermal behavior was significantly fostered by the employment of those active energy-saving methods. Besides, relative humidity, interior temperature, cooling and heating loads, and the overall annual energy consumption linked to cooling and heating loads, were alleviated and effectively minimized, fulfilling promoted economic feasibility. According to these findings, this master's research offers valuable advice for different building designers and engineers to help attain boosted energy efficiency in residential buildings.
