Rapid
developments take place in technology. All resources are used without
considering what their results will be for affordable production. This
situation continues to bring various environmental problems together. Humanity
is now questioning the technology and trying to reduce the damage it inflicts
on the environment. This reflects with the emergence of ecological building
designs in the building sector. Ecological designs are encouraged by
certification systems in the building sector and systems that provide comfort
conditions without harming the environment. It is necessary to create design
solutions in the current environment in order to be able to achieve this
position and to provide sustainability of the environment. It is important to
examine design criteria of earlier examples in history if it can provide this.
In this study, it is aimed to reveal the ecological characteristics of an old
and a new residence building in Talas District of Kayseri by making use of the
criteria of international certification systems. Thus, it has been shown how
past ecological data and present-day ecological designs can be. The new
structure and historical structure that are considered in the concept of
ecology have been examined comparatively in terms of their suitability to
criteria such as ecology, energy, economy, indoor environmental quality, health
and welfare, innovation, management, land use, transportation, renewable
technology, water, environmental pollution and CO2 emissions material and
waste. It is aimed that this study contributes to develop environmental
friendly design solutions in terms of sustainable environment in the future.
