“…Buildings, as the major energy consumer in urban areas 1 , have the highest energy-saving potential. To promote building energy efficiency, building energy simulation is a powerful tool to identify proper energy-saving solutions, such as using alternative construction materials 2 and improving energy management systems 3 . In the context of the city environment, the simulation approach is a significant decision-making reference for local governors and city managers.…”

City-scale building energy simulation provides a significant reference for planning and urban management. However, large-scale building energy simulation is often unfeasible due to the huge amount of computational resources required and the lack of high-precision building models. For such reasons, this study developed a tiled multi-city urban objects dataset and a distributed data ontology. Such a data metric not only transforms the conventional whole-city simulation model into patch-based distributed simulations but also incorporates interactive relationships among objects in cities. The dataset stores urban objects (8,196,003 buildings; 238,736 vegetations; 2,381,6698 streets; 430,364 UrbanTiles; 430,464 UrbanPatches) from thirty major cities in the United States. It also aggregated morphological features for each UrbanTile. To validate the performance of the developed dataset, a sample test was conducted in one city subset (Portland). The results conclude that the linear increase of time usage of modeling and simulation with the increase of building numbers. With the tiled data structure, the proposed dataset is also efficient for the building microclimate estimation.

“…Despite, residential buildings were highly subjected to the studies performed in the assessment of the energy efficiency, office or public buildings and schools were not common in the literature to compare the improvement of energy loss according to the methods and measures applied to the buildings. When the energy requirement of the three story residential building was calculated with varying the wall type materials as horizontal perforated brick, pumice block and aerated concrete block with carrying out of expanded polystyrene insulation material to the external walls in the third region of climate zone of Turkish standard 825, it was detected that application of insulation to the aerated concrete wall type led to more expensive result than other systems in the third region of climate zone [10]. However, energy performance of a primary school project examined in Ankara located at third region of climate zones for Turkey according to Turkish standard 825 was improved only 4.09 % with various passive strategies such as window-to-wall ratios, wall and glazing materials, insulation thickness [11].…”

“…It was determined that the aerated concrete block wall provided 2.8 % less cost in total without requiring thermal insulation material on the first‐ and second‐degree zones while aerated concrete block wall and insulation material were imparting 0.36 % more expensive result than other systems in the third‐degree zone. However, the application of 10 cm thick expanded polystyrene insulation material on the wall layers in the fourth‐degree zone could not provide the Turkish standard 825 limit values for the brick and pumice systems [10].…”

The improvement of energy efficiency in buildings is one of the most important factors of the energy policy of Turkey owing to its energy import, especially of natural gas. Çorum city, one of the colder cities of Turkey that uses a high amount of natural gas as fuel for heating, was selected to demonstrate the reduction in energy loss and carbon dioxide emissions of buildings and to contribute to the insulation sector in the Çorum industry. Therefore, two different methods, namely, the Turkish standard 825 and heating degree-days, are applied in cost-optimal methodology, using four types of traditional insulation materials, namely, standard expanded polystyrene, neopor (graphite-added expanded polystyrene), extruded polystyrene, and stone wool, and two state-of-the-art insulation materials, aerogel and vacuum insulation panels in two types of reference buildings comprising hollow brick and pumice stone walls. As a consequence of application of the Turkish standard 825 and heating degree-days methods in the cost optimal methodology of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive with the utilization of the optimum insulation thicknesses of six types of insulation materials calculated from both the Turkish standard 825 and heating degree-days methods at four different types of windows and one top side measure, a new methodology was developed. Results obtained from three methodologies are compared based on insulation materials and wall types.Keywords: Turkish standard 825 / heating degree-days / cost-optimal methodology / wall types / insulation materials Die Verbesserung der Energieeffizienz in Gebäuden ist aufgrund des Energieimports, insbesondere von Erdgas, eine der wichtigsten Faktoren der Energiepolitik der Türkei. Die Stadt Çorum, eine der kälteren Städte der Türkei, die eine große Menge Erdgas als Brennstoff zum Heizen verwendet, wurde ausgewählt, um die Reduzierung des Energieverlusts und der Kohlendioxidemissionen von Gebäuden zu demonstrieren und einen Beitrag zum Isoliersektor in Çorum zu leisten. Daher werden zwei verschiedene Methoden, nämlich der türkische Standard 825 und Heizgradtage, in kostenoptimaler Methodik angewendet, wobei vier Arten traditio-

“…Furthermore, with emphasis on architectural heritage conservation and construction development, a variety of scholars have focused on examining regional and local rural development [26,27]. Wang et al [28] revealed that the expression of intangible cultural elements in residential architectural heritage was insufficient among the current world heritage sites, and put forward architectural landscape protection and inheritance coping strategies based on the principle of authenticity.…”

With the massive urbanization and industrialization in China, the paradox between fast modernization and cultural preservation arouses challenges on new insight into green construction and sustainable development strategies throughout the nation. Particularly, how to strike a balanced cultural–modern rural revitalization has become a research priority, especially for cultural and historical villages in relatively under developed western regions. In this paper, taking Gaotunzi Village, a traditional ethnic village in western high-altitude plateau as an illustrative example, the typical green design manner and optimization strategy are proposed for cultural and architectural heritage preservation. The detailed architecture and structure design is conducted for both old temple retrofitting and new museum construction, with consideration for retaining traditional building colors, styles, and materials. Moreover, land use planning is demonstrated for local public space and services upgrading. The overall design strategy has been taken into practice for the local renovation construction program. The preliminary results indicate that this green retrofitting idea and approach are quite locally feasible for sustainable rural revitalization with local heritage conservation, including traditional wooden buildings, Buddhism belief, Tibetan icons, and ethnic symbolic culture preservation and promotion. This work can provide a typical design reference and application prototype for rural construction and modernization with local heritage preservation considerations, especially for those traditional villages in developing countries.
