Abstract
This article reports on research that has developed a thermally robust school outline design for new schools in Turkey, taking into account the climatic diversity of the country. The work is based on an assessment of current schemes, augmented by the views of professional designers specializing in education buildings. Sensitivity analysis and transient building simulation using ESP-r are used to identify robust and sensitive parameters, with the robust parameters being fixed in the outline design, while the sensitive parameters remain open for later fine-tuning.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
