Evaluation of the Lighting Energy Performance of Educational Buildings with BEP-TR Methodology: The Case of ERU Faculty of Architecture

As part of energy efficiency and conservation measures, central local governments have developed various action plans, international commitments, calculation models, regulations, standards, certificates arrangements. Building Energy Performance (BEP-TR), a national method according to the conditions Turkey, is one them. With BEP-TR, building measured in existing or alternative situations. In public buildings, issue vital terms being an example. framework this study, Faculty Architecture Erciyes University as educational structure was selected study area. Lighting essential electricity consumption especially establishments. This aims guide principles lighting design on axis comfort-cost for all by emphasizing that concept should be handled multi-dimensionally with its layers. Current state data measure using BEP-TR will assessed if efficient, visual comfort needs. values were recalculated checking alternatives, simulations, criteria concerning efficiency. revision design, amount savings realized system meets requirements calculated. While improvements proposed under title artificial system, other parameters kept constant. while offering physical psychological enhancement users, it also saves buildings bring ecological proposition reduce carbon footprint nature. Considering proposal context comfort-consumption-cost amortization. The how long initial investment cost amortized has been made three different methods. shows originality responding designer’s aesthetic concerns multi-dimensional inputs
