Methods to Discover the Optimum Building Envelope in the Context of Solar Data

Methods to Discover the Optimum Building Envelope in the Context of Solar Data

This study deals with present optimum building envelope design methods and designate the prosand cons in built environments while managing the solar parameters using the modern softwarethat enables digital, performance-based design. Performance-based design process is detailed;designs based on sun rays with various methods are reviewed; and the relationship betweenbuilding envelope and energy is specified. It is the objective of the study that determination ofmethods used to decide alternative forms to avoid excessive heat gains during the summer seasonwhile providing maximum benefit from the sun's rays during the winter season. Therefore,samples that can generate input are selected. Each sample is determined to belong to a differentgroup of design methods and these methods are classified. As a result of the samples investigated,the advantages and disadvantages of the methods used in comparison with using the comparingmethod by figures and tables. Then, with the SWOT analysis method, the methods' strengths andweaknesses, opportunities and threats are identified. Accordingly, Method 3- The Solar RaysMethod has a faster and easier design process than the other two methods. Shortly, it has theoptimum solution in other design methods with is three potential factors and one problem. Withthese proposed methods, it is aimed to reach an optimum solution by considering the potential tocreating shadows on the building.
