An Approach For Determination Of Risky Buildings And Building Energy Performance Concerning Urban Renewal In Turkey

Abstract

In May 2012 “Urban Renewal Law” for reducing the expected seismic risk for existing buildings was published. Depending on this law existing old buildings should have stability tests for the decision, if it should be demolished or strengthened. This article is mainly concentrating on the earthquake stability and energy performance of a case building regarding the physical and environmental dimensions of urban renewal. Case building is a deficient structure that couldn’t catch the static regulations and so demolished. Regarding the urban renewal process a new building was constructed following the energy performance regulations. In this framework structural and energy performance analysis of the existing deficient building are done to present the conditions first. Then the energy performance of the new building is analysed to be compared with the demolished building. For the static analysis of the existing building ideCAD for the energy performance analysis BEP-TR 2 programs are used. As a result of this study the structural performance of the case building is examined to display the need of a new construction and then the development of the energy performance is presented by the comparison in between demolished and new buildings.
