    Examining occupancy and architectural aspects affecting manual lighting control behaviour in offices based on a user survey
    (LLC Editorial of Journal "Light Technik" lights-nr@inbox.ru VNISI rooms 327334106 Prospect Mira Moscow 129626, 2018) Arzu Cilasun Kunduraci; Tugce Kazanasmaz; Truus Hordijk; Cilasun Kunduraci, Arzu; Kazanasmaz, Tuğçe; Hordijk, Truus
    Further understanding the building occupants’ needs and behaviors can reduce lighting energy consumption. This research explores how the occupancy and interior architectural aspects become effective in manual lighting control in offices. It involves a multiple sectioned questionnaire focusing on the possible architectural factors such as the desk position the surface colours the distance to window the distance between desk and lighting switch and inquiring participants’ manual lighting control behaviour through the photographs of modified interior layouts surface colours and time intervals. Statistical methods are used to determine the significant aspects which may reduce the use of lighting control. Interior layout distance to window time of the day and number of occupants in the offices are the most significant contributions to the manual lighting control behaviour. To pay attention in these contributions it would be possible to reduce the use of electricity for lighting while user satisfaction increases. © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Daylight Enhancement Strategies Through Roof for Heritage Buildings
    (Solarlits, 2024) Nurefsan Sönmez; Arzu Cilasun Kunduraci; Cemre Cubukcuoglu; Çubukçuoğlu, Cemre; Sönmez, Nurefşan; Kunduracı, Arzu Cılasun
    Enhancing daylighting in heritage buildings is a complex challenge that requires a delicate balance between preserving architectural integrity and improving visual comfort. This paper investigates enhancing daylight in heritage buildings balancing preservation and visual comfort. It focuses on a 1905 heritage building undergoing reconstruction addressing insufficient daylight on the ground floor and glare on the first floor. The study investigated novel design solutions by using simulation and optimization approaches. A multiobjective optimization algorithm called JDEMO Algorithm (a multi-objective self-adaptive differential evolution algorithm) was utilized to obtain Pareto optimal results and integrated with performative simulations using ClimateStudio (CS) plug-in for Grasshopper. Strategies include altering skylight glazing materials surface materials and using Tubular Daylight Guidance Systems (TDGS). Results show TDGS with larger diameters improve Useful Daylight Illuminance (UDI) and reduce Spatial Disturbing Glare (sDG). Material selection impacts daylight distribution emphasizing the importance of skylight glazing materials. While specific to one case this research has wider implications for heritage preservation and daylighting. By innovating sustainable design it contributes to preserving heritage buildings while enhancing visual comfort. © 2024 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    (YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIV FAC ARCHITECTURE, 2016) Arzu Cilasun Cilasun; Goze Bayram; Cilasun, Arzu; Bayram, Goze
    Restoring or renovating important historical sites and buildings for either the original or a new purpose ensures the continuation of cultural heritage. When reacquiring such sites as part of a city's heritage they must be safely and effectively designed. Lighting is one of the necessary components of this design phase. Lighting design of historic sites should be very sensitive to the original construction and interventions should be kept at minimum. This article discusses the renovated cistern in Izmir's Kadifekale that is to be used as an exhibition hall. Various parameters were considered for the lighting design of cistern such as visual comfort functional requirements and aesthetics. This article discusses the approach and methods of the lighting design for the historic cistern in detail.

    To Look or Not To Look: Reading User Behavior in the Spatial Atmosphere of the City Skyline of Izmir
    (University of Minnesota Press, 2024) İlke Hiçsönmezler; Arzu Cilasun Kunduraci; Ahenk Yılmaz; Yilmaz, Ahenk; Kunduraci, Arzu Cilasun; Hiçsönmezler, İlke
    This study focuses on the effects of spatial qualities of the viewing location on the behavior of citizens towards the observation of the skylines. The majority of the existing literature on skyline studies revolves around the discussions of the aesthetic qualities of the skyline per se and ignores the observation space. Nevertheless the differences in citizens' behavior towards viewing the skyline stem not only from their diverse personal characteristics and daily emotional states but also from the spatial qualities of the viewing space. This study addresses this gap in the literature with its concentration on the qualities of the urban spaces from which the city skyline is viewed. The objective of this study therefore is to fill this gap by discussing the ultimate behavioral decisions of experiencers in viewing the Izmir skyline from the perspective of the spatial characteristics of the Karşıyaka coastline as an observation location. In doing so the study first focuses on the atmosphere theories where the reciprocal relationship between the qualities of experienced space and its experiencers become dominant. Through observations in the Karşıyaka coastline the reciprocal relationship leads to the definition of the spatial factors as layers of analysis which are based on the transformation of the spatial layers of the experienced space and the behavioral decisions of the experiencers. Then to better comprehend their relationships Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is utilized to analyze the observational data. The study by merging the spatial atmosphere and contemplative neuroaesthetic theories provides a new framework for the upcoming skyline-based studies. Moreover the outcomes of the analysis demonstrate that the contrast between day and night city skyline viewing in the Karşıyaka coastline emerges as a point of reference for lighting proving to be the most impactful factor among all layers. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.

    Daylight Enhancement Strategies for Historic Buildings: A Critical Review of Interventions, Their Constraints, and Applicability
    (SolarLits, 2026) Cilasun Kunduraci, Arzu; Sonmez, Nurefsan; Kunduraci, Arzu Cilasun
    With the growing urgency to reduce carbon emissions in the built environment, enhancing daylight availability in historic buildings has become a critical and challenging task due to the required balance between environmental sustainability objectives and cultural heritage conservation principles. This paper presents a systematic and critical review of 54 studies focusing on daylight enhancement strategies in historic buildings, published between 2000 and 2025. Following the PRISMA scoping review method, this review investigates intervention challenges according to three primary constraints: regulatory and conservation limitations, material and structural constraints, and climate-responsive requirements. By mapping currently employed daylighting techniques in historic buildings and critically assessing their underlying assumptions, this study aims to bridge the gap between performancedriven daylighting research and cultural heritage preservation principles. The findings are intended to promote multidisciplinary discourse and serve as a basis for creating contextually acceptable, ethically responsible, and technically feasible daylighting recommendations for historic buildings.

    Fuzzy logic model for the categorization of manual lighting control behaviour patterns based on daylight illuminance and interior layout
    (SAGE Publications Ltd info@sagepub.co.uk, 2019) Arzu Cilasun Kunduraci; Tugce Kazanasmaz; Cılasun Kunduracı, Arzu; Kunduraci, Arzu Cilasun; Kazanasmaz, Z. Tugce
    In considering total building energy consumption lighting plays an important role in shaping energy consumption and use. Although key strategies (such as energy efficient lighting products lighting control systems and energy simulation software) are developed so far such attempts may be unsuccessful unless users are not taken into consideration. Users’ behaviours and their manual lighting control actions depend on various factors though within the scope of this study manual lighting control behaviour was analysed only in terms of interior layout and daylight illuminance. Three private offices in Izmir Institute of Technology were monitored using illuminance metres and occupancy/light detectors under eight different interior layout conditions. In relation to change of interior layout and daylight penetrations users’ manual lighting control behaviours were monitored. The obtained data were then used to construct a fuzzy logic model in MATLAB FIS editor. A fuzzy logic algorithm was applied to classify behaviour patterns about the tendency to turn on the lights. This kind of prediction of the light usage tendency regarding the occupancy is aimed to foresee the ‘possible’ manual lighting control behaviour within given conditions. The gathered classification can be used further in future studies of manual lighting control behaviour and energy-saving estimations/simulations. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Energy Saving Opportunities through Glazing and Shading Alternatives
    (KONYA TECHNICAL UNIV FAC ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN, 2022) Arzu Cilasun Kunduraci; Sueleyman Ivgin; Ivgin, Sueleyman; Kunduraci, Arzu Cilasun
    Windows are the weakest elements due to their high heat transfer coefficient and are responsible for 60% energy heat/gain loss. Healthcare buildings are one of the biggest consumers of energy due to continuous occupation hours and medical requirements providing comfortable conditions for people in need of care and staff, yet recently less attention was given to healthcare buildings due to their unique operational requirements and advanced medical equipment. Thus the main purpose of this study was to evaluate energy saving potentials of windows through glazing and shading alternatives over a case study. Within this study a single patient room in Izmir Turkey has been chosen as a case study and the room was simulated for sixteen scenarios generated by using four different glazing and shading systems. Each design scenario was simulated using DALEC for their lighting heating cooling and total energy consumption. Results showed that lighting energy consumption constitutes the highest energy demand (up to 52%) and high transmitting glazing usage can reduce lighting loads. Finally up to 16.3% energy saving is possible only by changing shading and glazing types. Though there is a great diversity of glazing and shading types this study's outputs only reflect the selected four glazing and four shading system types that are offered by DALEC. Healthcare buildings spend a vast amount of energy to provide thermal and visual comfort for various user profiles. Considering the large number of patient rooms in healthcare facilities only careful consideration of glazing or shadings can significantly contribute to energy savings. This study focuses on shading and glazing alternatives as an energy-saving strategy. For simulation an underrecognized BES tool DALEC was hyped to show integrated thermal and visual energy consumption. The findings highlight that energy savings of up to 16.3% is possible.
