In
Turkey, most of the common type projects of mass production residential
buildings are being developed and constructed by TOKI (Housing Development
Administration of Turkey). These buildings, in which energy efficient approach
has been disregarded for years, cause to gradually increase on heating and
cooling energy consumptions. In regards to national economics, it is essential
to evaluate energy efficiency and to develop suggestions to decrease energy
consumptions in residential buildings. To achieve appropriate solutions, cost
evaluation also becomes necessary. Therefore, this paper aims to introduce a
study which serves the purpose of producing a choice of energy efficient
solutions in order to reduce energy consumptions and energy cost. In this
study, different heating and cooling energy efficient scenarios have been
developed for a selected residential building, constructed by TOKI, for
climatic zones of Turkey. For each scenario, energy simulations have been
executed by means of the simulation program—DesignBuilder, the user-friendly
visual interface of EnergyPlus, and cost analysis has been carried out by using
the net present value and discounted payback period method. As a result, energy
and cost effective solutions have been presented and discussed for different
climatic zones.
