d'Ambrosio Zaid Romani Francis Allard Zerrin Yılmaz Halime Paksoy 4 Preface Dear participants of the Virtual TTMD 14th Symposium on HVAC+R Technologies It is my privilege to salute you all who join us in this attempt to share knowledge and experience for a more resilient future. Indeed, we would have liked very much to host you in Istanbul around a physical event, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this time we could only get together virtually. We hope that this situation brings also a new perspective on perhaps how we communicate with each other. With the advancement of information technologies, our symposium will now be able to serve thousands of participants. The main theme of the 14th virtual symposium of TTMD is “Resilient HVAC solutions to achieve a more sustainable future”, which is decomposed into 10 different subtopics/sessions. The World and its energy needs after COVID-19 seen from a bird eye view, will be forming our symposium’s introductory session. The executive director of IEA Dr. Fatih Birol, the president of The Federation of Europe- an Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Associations Mr. Frank Hovorka and Dr. Levent Kurnaz from the Bosporus University will take the virtual floor to deliver speeches on the expected near future as well as a more secure and sustainable far future. The second and third sessions are reserved for the urban aspects of sustainability. As more and more people are living in cities compared to rural regions, the modern city life brings many new adaptation problems for those who have no other choice but to dwell in cities today. Heat islands forming as a result of ever increas- ing cooling needs and global warming threats force both the local governments and individuals to find practical but sound solutions. Dr. Francis Allard from la Rochelle University, Dr. Andreas Matzarakis from DWD, Dr. Panagiotis Nastos from National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and Mr. Yunus Arıkan from ICLEI will try to enlarge the horizons of the participants during these two consecutive sessions. A high quality indoor environment generally results in increased productivity and occupant satisfaction. However, what is admitted indoors is served by what is available by the outdoors. So indoor environmental quality goes hand-in-hand with outdoor air quality. That is the reason why Med. Dr. Hasan Bayram, the presi- dent of Turkish Thoracic Society will present us the correlation between outdoor pollution and lung diseases while the director of EPB Mr. Jaap Hogeling will talk about the value chain brought by indoor environment quality amelioration and Dr. Ivo Martinac from KHT Sweden will explain us the role smart technologies which may be employed in the quest for better indoor environmental quality in session 4. IBPSA is a non –profit society of building simulation researchers, developers and practitioners who dedicate themselves to improving the built environment and session 5 is reserved to those who lead this ambitious society. The Turkish branch of IBPSA has been functioning under TTMD since 2018. Dr. Lori McElroy, the president of the international IBPSA society, Dr. Pieter de Wilde from University of Plymouth and Dr. Cheool-Soo Park from Seoul University: tree important figures within IBPSA will inform us about the role of simulation tools on the design of better systems. Session 6 of our symposium is reserved for the establishment of commissioning efforts in Turkey. The panel will bring three parties (the owner/investor, designer and CxC management firm) together around one table to discuss the status-quo of CxC and its future promises. 5 Energy efficiency and the role of renewables are parameters that has an impact on our search for low carbon future. In session 7, Dr. Oğuz Can will talk about the measures taken by the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Energy and Naturel Resources in this respect. The benefits of a so long underestimated district heating and cooling systems will be mentioned by two speakers who represent a renowned company Danfoss: Mr Miha Bobic and Mr. Dimity Bochalov. Finally, Dr. Halime Paksoy of Çukurova University will furnish us with the indispensable details and benefits of energy storage. Session 8 focuses on the directives that certain regions and countries impose. Dr. Jarek Kurnitski and Jaap Hogeling from REHVA will explain the directive efforts effectuated by the EU whine Dr. Essam Khalil from Cairo University and Dr. Catalin Lungu from Civil Engineering University of Bucharest will respectively reveal the approaches taken by Arab countries and Romania.

Competing teams are tasked with designing, building, and showcasing a residential structure that meet the requirements of the competition’s ten contests. Team OCULUS, comprised of college students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA, two Moroccan universities, and one Nigerian university, will compete in the Solar Decathlon Africa 2019 which will take place in Ben Guerir, Morocco in September 2019. Team OCULUS is divided into smaller teams based on student expertise. This report details the work of the Mechanical Team of Team OCULUS. The Mechanical Team was responsible for the design of the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system, the sizing and selection of mechanical equipment and appliances, the design of the photovoltaic system, and the development of a whole-house energy balance.

At the time of its certification in June 2019, the new IOC Headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, received the highest rating of any of the LEED v4-certified new construction project. This was only possible thanks to the PV system consisting of 614 mono-Si modules, amounting to 179 kWp and covering 999 m2 of the roof’s surface. The approximately 200 MWh solar power generated per year are used in-house for heat pumps, HVAC systems, lighting and general building operations.

  • Advocating for Net-Zero Energy Sustainable Houses Through the International Solar Decathlon Competition
    Proceedings of the 3rd World Congress on Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering (CSEE'18) Budapest, Hungary – April 8 - 10, 2018 DOI: 10.11159/icsenm18.1 Advocating for Net-Zero Energy Sustainable Houses through the International Solar Decathlon Competition Timothy J McCarthy, Brendan J Banfield, Yeganeh Baghi, Luca Faidutti, Clayton McDowell University of Wollongong NSW Australia Abstract - The US Department of Energy has been running the Solar Decathlon since 2000. This contest challenges teams of university students to design, build and operate a solar powered net-zero energy house. The contests are held in the US and at locations around the world. Transporting the house to the contest location is a major challenge for the teams. The University of Wollongong became the first Australian team to enter the Solar Decathlon when it’s house was constructed at Datong, China for the SD China 2013 competition. Team UOW won that competition against 18 other universities from around the world. The university will be in the final of the Solar Decathlon Middle East 2018 to be held in Dubai in October/November of that year. The new house, named Desert Rose, is a net-zero energy, dementia friendly eco house designed for the harsh Gulf climate. This paper will summarise the history of the 16 Solar Decathlon contests to date. The impact of the competition on the 235 international teams will be examined to demonstrate how the Solar Decathlon is a vehicle for educating engineers, architects and universities about sustainable and net-zero energy buildings. Case studies, including Team UOW’s winning entry to SD China 2013 will examine the value of such a large educational initiative from multiple perspectives.

The design consisted of developing an envelope assembly that blended practical and innovative materials and attachment configurations. In addition, a construction site safety plan was generated to protect all personnel who enter the site during the construction phase. The building envelope group of Team OCULUS has provided an original design that incorporates local construction materials, Moroccan architecture, and makes energy conservation a priority.
