Sayın, S and Çelebi, G (2020) A practical approach to performance-based building design in architectural project. Building Research & Information, 48(4), pp. 446-468. ISSN 0961-3218
Abstract
The aim of this study is to develop an approach that can enhance and contribute to the practical applicability of performance-based building design in architectural projects. The need for such an approach is based on the current lack of a practical application for performance-based design in architectural projects, despite the numerous studies conducted in this regard to date. The approach has been applied in a commercial building project designed by an architectural firm in Konya. The performance evaluation of the design developed in accordance with the requirements of the client/builder and the restrictions of regulations was carried out using IES VE 2014 software at a specific phase of the design process. Through this building performance simulation tool; the thermal protection of the envelope/heat loss and solar gain, thermal comfort (temperature, humidity), air quality (freshness), daylight and glare levels were evaluated for the selected spaces in the building, and following the evaluation, new design proposals were put forward to improve the design so as to meet the performance goal.

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
