Description
Objectives of this thesis are as follows:
(1) to find the optimum program necessities of municipality buildings,
(2) to set an energy consumption standard, and
(3) to evaluate energy efficiency level by altering architectural design parameters by simulations of case building in İzmir, Turkey.
I propose a framework which contributes to three design phases: early design phase by building program, design phase by investigating and limiting real-life energy use intensity and advance design phase by energy simulation feedbacks.
