Abstract

This study examines the impact and performance of sustainable building practices through selected case studies. It assesses sustainable design, construction, production, and supply chains, emphasizing the use of advanced materials like Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and coated glass to enhance durability and energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Nanotechnology and wood innovation in construction are explored alongside insights into reducing energy consumption, utilizing renewable energy, and managing waste across a building's lifecycle. Case studies, including The Edge building in Amsterdam and the Treet building in Bergen, illustrate the efficacy of sustainable practices in creating enduring, eco-friendly structures. The study also highlights successful waste management techniques, exemplified by the Eden Project, demonstrating effective waste reduction, reuse, and recycling in construction. Overall, this research offers a comprehensive view of implementing sustainable building practices to achieve superior performance while minimizing environmental effects.

SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR İNŞAATA BÜTÜNCÜL YAKLAŞIMLAR GELİŞTİRMEK: GERÇEK DÜNYA PROJELERİNDEN İÇGÖRÜLER

Abstract

Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilir bina uygulamalarının etki ve performansını seçilmiş vaka çalışmaları aracılığıyla incelemektedir. Sürdürülebilir tasarım, inşaat, üretim ve tedarik zincirlerini değerlendirmekte, dayanıklılığı ve enerji verimliliğini artırırken çevresel etkiyi azaltmak için Çapraz Lamine Kereste (CLT) ve kaplamalı cam gibi gelişmiş malzemelerin kullanımını vurgulamaktadır. İnşaatta nanoteknoloji ve ahşap inovasyonu, enerji tüketimini azaltma, yenilenebilir enerjiden yararlanma ve bir binanın yaşam döngüsü boyunca atıkları yönetme konusundaki içgörülerle birlikte incelenmektedir. Amsterdam'daki The Edge binası ve Bergen'deki Treet binası da dahil olmak üzere vaka çalışmaları, sürdürülebilir uygulamaların kalıcı, çevre dostu yapılar yaratmadaki etkinliğini göstermektedir. Çalışma ayrıca Eden Projesi ile örneklenen ve inşaatta etkili atık azaltma, yeniden kullanım ve geri dönüşümü gösteren başarılı atık yönetimi tekniklerini de vurgulamaktadır. Genel olarak bu araştırma, çevresel etkileri en aza indirirken üstün performans elde etmek için sürdürülebilir bina uygulamalarının hayata geçirilmesine ilişkin kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.
