Özet
It is a generally accepted idea that today's architectural activities should be environmentalist and sustainable. The most significant design input is 'climate' for using sustainable energy in buildings. How energy requirements are used to obtain the comfort conditions of the buildings can be estimated with technological developments and researches today. It is obvious that there is much knowledge which we should learn from traditional architecture as in the context of urban, in single structure and in structural details for energy effective design. In this context, in Turkey, a great amount of energy consumed is used in buildings for air-conditioning and for heating them. To minimize this energy consumption, energy effective passive systems must be used in the design of agglomerations. When Gaziantep traditional houses are observed, it is seen that they have various forms in urban and building scale due to the hot-dry climate. These forms and locations change according to their orientations, wind direction and their topography. To accommodate of traditional dwelling issue on high regions where they can utilize the refreshing effect of the wind, to constitute shady spaces with site plan compositions of the buildings, to obtain weather circulation in hot summer days; frontages of the buildings, size and ratio of the components used in facade are functional solutions for natural climate systems in the urban scale. In this study, energy performances of four traditional houses in Gaziantep traditional urban fabric has been compared with three new buildings which represent the widespread applications in new constructions. In the results of the study, it is seen that four traditional Gaziantep houses need 47% less energy in winter when they are compared with three modern houses. In parallel to this, it is seen that they have 18% less energy loss during the year. As the result of the study, it can be said that the new habitation regions designed by today's development plans are designed without the consideration of natural ventilation systems. In these new examples it is observed that the design of frontages of the buildings and their structural details for conserving energy and natural ventilation are very far from the traditional architecture. And also, in these examples, span of the windows, walls and floor elements and examples in the traditional architecture are not repeated in today's applications as natural passive energy systems.
