    Developing a Model for User Satisfaction Assessment in Energy Efficient Dwellings
    (Univ Politecnica Catalunya, 2022) Usma, Gokhan; Akinci, Nazli Ferah
    Energy efficient dwellings are the buildings, energy consumption of which is minimized throughout their design, construction process and the whole life cycle. They are also defined as buildings which ensure healthy and productive environments for their users. However, the research on energy efficient dwellings in the literature, on the other hand, mainly addresses the topic in the context of environmental and economic sustainability. Residential user satisfaction, which is among the most important factors in the architectural design process, not sufficiently emphasized in the research on energy efficient dwellings. This study aims to determine the user satisfaction in energy efficient dwelling design and application studies comprehensively. Ultimately, it is aimed to develop a model of user satisfaction measurement which can be used throughout the design / construction process and afterwards to this end. Model components were derived from the analysis of various indicators. In this process, characteristics of energy efficient buildings, certification system criteria, housing quality standards and indicators obtained from the academic studies in the literature were taken into consideration. The assessment proposals formed in this way were applied to the pre-determined residential users, and then the indicators were reviewed. In the light of the data obtained through the field survey, the main themes and sub-indicators of the model were finalized. At the end of all the analyses, the explanatory power of the themes of the model were found satisfactory on the phenomenon that is aimed to measure.

    DEVELOPMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF A POST-OCCUPANCY EVALUATION SCALE FOR SUSTAINABLE OFFICE ENVIRONMENTS INSIGHTS FROM THE FNN SUSTAINABILITY CENTRE
    (Univ Zagreb Fac Architecture, 2024) Usma, Gokhan; Olcer, Deniz Erdogan
    This study explores the relationship between users and the built environment through a post -occupancy evaluation (POE) conducted at the FNN Sustainability Centre, a noteworthy sustainable building in the region. The study involved a comprehensive approach, encompassing site visits, managerial interviews, and staff surveys. To establish a robust evaluation framework, a scale was developed by analysing pertinent literature, and indicators were identified to gauge various aspects of the building's performance. Throughout the scale development process, the SPSS data analysis program was used, and expert opinions were solicited to ensure a rigorous and comprehensive methodology. Evaluation categories included lighting, acoustics, climatic comfort and indoor air quality, use and comfort of systems, quality of space and perception, awareness of sustainability and productivity. The building emerged as a physically and psychologically conducive workplace that heightened employee awareness of sustainability. Specific concerns were identified, such as noise disturbance for open -office workers and glare -related issues, which serve as valuable feedback for potential adjustments.
