The design strategies that I suggested in

report 1 was in master plan scale were thus ALTITUDE
it was on a larger scale and mostly produced
environmentally friendly solutions for the
microclimate and neighbourhood. In this
project, I will now propose design strategies
on building and room-scale.
DAYLIGTING STRATEGIES
Sky is the main element to adjust daylight in the
buildings. Unlike heating, which can be stored, or
cooling, which can be induced by evaporation or stack
effect, daylight is available moment to moment during
courtyard ATRIUM the daytime. Daylight utilization is a precondition for
the use of daylight in buildings. The building mass must
be limited to allow daylight access to each building.
ATRIUM
courtyard
As one moves away from the side wall, the proportion of the
exterior daylight available inside decreases. Therefore, the
thickness of the building is an important design consideration for
a daylight building.
The building is thicker in dimensions thus sidelighting must be
unsufficient so ı support my buildings with unglazed light courts
and glazed atrium to bring light into the interior.
I used atrium because it is provide lighting for adjacent rooms
and activities that occur in their climate-buffered space.
Atriums can also act as a buffer zones because it reduces the
conductive heat loss and gainThe height of the atrium is higher
than the building heigts thus it can contribute stack-ventilation.
 CULINARY/WORKSHOP
It ıncludes spaces like walk in
fridges,storages,labs etc.
which are the spaces does not
require much light.

LIBRARY
Located more south oriented and not
blocked by any of the mass
Because ligting requirements for library
more
than the spaces in the culinary workshop

DAYLIGHT ZONES:
Rooms should be arranged according to the activity so that activities that need higher lighting levels can be near the windows
while the other activities that doesnt require much light arranged farther from daylight source.
Activities can range thus they have different illumination needs. Areas nearest to the skin and the daylight source have the
greatest opportunity for daylight at the highest illumination levels.
If activities are zoned, then the amount of relatively expensive skin and glazed openings can be reduced because of a smaller
skin/volume ratio. The rate of electric light use, and thus heat gains are also reduced.
HEATING STRATEGIES
HEATING ZONES
As the strategy applied in daylight zones, depending on the occupant activity level, Rooms can be organized into heating
zones because,occupant clothing and the length of occupancy, temperature criteria for heating may vary significantly thus
some rooms, such as a computer labs, storages, may need cooling while, other rooms need only a little heat. In general,
also spaces with a short occupancy like staircases or corridors needs less heating than the others.
MASS ARRANGEMENT
Important for passive heating
EAST–WEST PLAN (ROOMS FACING THE
SUN)
While solar access to each room makes
solar heating each space simple for thin
building by elongating the building mass
close to the east west axis (30º of
south)
But for my thick buildings to bring sun
deeper into buildings is need more

possible solution for my design
BUFFER ZONES
Rooms that can tolerate Section cut
temperature swings
can be located between
protected rooms and
undesired heat or cold.
COOLING AND VENTILATION STRATEGIES
SHADING
Providing shade to particular open spaces or
courts by shaping surrounding buildings and
edges to cast shadows prodive respite from
direct sun
-Overhead shades is an important strategy for
shading of pedestrian circulation and for
protecting the interior from direct sunlight,
-Open spaces of buildings where the height to
width ratio admits significant sun, such as the
south facade shading should be applied
-I applied overhang shadings where the
pedestrian road as arcades and with vegetation,
such as street trees to cool the afternoon air.

URBAN VEGETATION
For passive cooling increasing the scattered
vegetation, urban, forests and green squares and
parks.
Would be Sufficient In my project I try to integrate
the green texture of the kurtuluş park into my
building.
 APERATURES AS A SHADING DEVICES
-Shading devices can enhance the natural ventılatıon not blockıng it
-They prevent glare
-Control solar gain by provide thermal efficieny.
-Provide shelter from heat
-Provide efficient indoor cooling systems

 CROSS-VENTILATION PERMEABLE BUILDING STACK-VENTILATION
Cross-ventilation is have a For more permeable building,cross-ventilation,
significant effect for cooling stack-ventilation or both should be applied as a Summer in Ankara, at night,
during warm periods because strategy when air movement is

the space but also increases COMBINED ventilation becomes an
the sensation of cooling. important strategy
CROSS-VENTILATION BETWEEN MASSES
Using both cross-ventilatıon and stack vetilatıon strategies may also be
employed for different rooms in the same building.
crossventilation might be used in windward side and upper level rooms,
while stack-ventilation might be used in leeward side and lower rooms
that have less access to wind.
Both cross-ventilation and stack-ventilation work better in certain
configurations,
When designing a scheme for both types of ventilation, parts of both the
plan and the section must be kept open to air movement.

we can change the behavior of the façade
Airflow concepts of double-skin facades
through small changes such as opening or
closing inlet or outlet flaps or activating air
circulators.In winter, the air cushion acts as
a barrier against heat loss.
The sun warmed air in the space can
reduce the demand for indoor heating
systems by heating the areas outside the
glass. this will reduce the load on the
building.
In the summer, the space can be moved
outside the building to reduce solar energy
gain and reduce the cooling load. Excessive Classification of double-skin facades
heat is discharged by a process known as
the chimney effect, where differences in
air density create a circular motion that
causes warmer air to escape. As the
temperature of the air in the space rises, it
is pushed out and brings a gentle breeze to
the environment while being insulated
against heat gain.
