Abstract

Thermal comfort in spaces can be defined as the creation of conditions that will provide the users’ living standards. Therefore, it is important to investigate the thermal comfort conditions in different types of dwellings and the design parameters that affect these conditions. In this study, thermal comfort conditions in different dwellings were investigated. In this context, thermal comfort conditions were measured between December 2020 and January 2022 in four selected dwellings in Bingöl, located in a cold climate. Measurements were made in the daylight living areas, night living areas and service areas of these dwellings. Temperature and humidity, air velocity, and radiation temperatures in the spaces were measured by TESTO 480 multi-purpose air conditioner, Hot Wire Anemometer DT8880, and infrared non-contact thermometer, respectively. Tables and graphics created using the data obtained from these measurements were evaluated according to the ASHRAE 55 standard. In the analyses made, the thermal comfort conditions of the dwellings with different typologies were compared. As a result of the study, the design parameters that are effective in the differences between the dwellings were evaluated and it was aimed to reveal a methodology that could guide the new designs to be made.

Farklı Konut Tipolojilerinin Termal Konfor Koşulları Bağlamında Karşılaştırılması

Abstract

Mekânlarda termal konfor, kullanıcıların yaşam standartlarını sağlayacak koşulların oluşturulması olarak tanımlanabilir. Bundan dolayı farklı tip konutlarda termal konfor koşullarının ve bu koşulları etkileyen tasarım parametrelerinin araştırılması önemli bir konudur. Bu çalışmada farklı tip konutlarda termal konfor koşulları araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda soğuk iklim bölgesinde bulunan Bingöl ilinde seçilen dört tip konutta termal konfor koşulları Aralık 2020 ve Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında ölçülmüştür. Belirlenen bu konutların gündüz yaşama mekânları, gece yaşama mekânları ve servis mekânlarında ölçümler yapılmıştır. Mekânlarda sıcaklık ve nem, hava hızı ve radyasyon sıcaklıkları sırasıyla TESTO 480 çok amaçlı iklimlendirme cihazı, Hot Wire Anemometre DT8880 ve kızılötesi temassız termometre ile ölçülmüştür. Bu ölçümlerden elde edilen veriler kullanılarak oluşturulan tablo ve grafikler ASHRAE 55 standardına göre değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan analizlerde, birbirinden farklı tipolojilere sahip konutların termal konfor koşulları karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmada sonuç olarak, konutlar arasında ortaya çıkan farklılıklarda etkili olan tasarım parametreleri değerlendirilmiş ve yapılacak olan yeni tasarımlar için yol gösterebilecek bir metodoloji ortaya konması amaçlanmıştır.
