Abstract

Günümüzde insanlar hayatlarının büyük bir kısmını kapalı ortamlarda geçirmektedir. Bunun için kullanıcılarının sağlığını da doğrudan etkilemesi bakımından, binaların pandemiye karşı dayanımlı olması gerekir. Aynı zamanda binalarda bulaşma ve bulaşma hızının azaltılması yönünde gerekli önlemlerin de alınması da şarttır. Yine eğitim binaları da hastalıkların bulaşma olasılıklarının ve yayılma hızlarının yüksek olduğu binalardır. Bu nedenle bütüncül bakış açsıyla eğitim binalarında SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün içeri girme olasılığının ve yayılım ile öğrencilere bulaş riskinin azaltılması için yeterli tedbirlerin alınması gerekir. Bu çalışmada; Erzurum Teknik Üniversitesi kampüsündeki uluslararası LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) yeşil bina sertifikasına sahip Mühendislik ve Mimarlık Fakültesi binasının SARS-CoV-2 virüs risk yönetimi ve iç ortam hava kalitesi parametrelerinin değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır. COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virüsünün bulaşma ve bulaşma hızının azaltılması yönünde HVAC (Isıtma, havalandırma ve iklimlendirme) ile ilgili faktörlere bağlı olarak alınması gereken önlemlerin önemi vurgulanmıştır. Çalışmada amfi dersliklerde yapılan ölçümlerde; CO2 konsantrasyonları ortalama 645.68 ile 897.25 ppm aralığında, iç ortam sıcaklıkları 18 ile 24 °C aralığında, hava hızları 0.161 m/s ile 0.194 m/s aralığında ve bağıl nemin de %45.35rH ile %58,96 rH aralığında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu değerlerin uluslararası standartlara uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonuçları; COVID-19 sürecinde yeşil binalarda eğitim ve öğretim faaliyetlerinin daha güvenli yürütülebileceğini göstermektedir. Yine LEED sertifika kriterlerinin pandemilere karşı güvence olduğu da belirlenmiştir. Sonuçlar; eğitim binalarında gelecekte oluşabilecek pandemiye karşı iç hava kalitesi bakımından güvenlik önlemlerinin belirlenmesine de rehber olabilir.

Evaluation of LEED certified education building in cold climate regions in the context of pandemic

Abstract

Today, people spend most of their lives indoors. For this, the buildings must be resistant to pandemics in terms of directly affecting the health of their users. However, it is essential to take the necessary measures to reduce the rate of contamination and contamination in buildings. Likewise, educational buildings are buildings where the transmission probability and spread rate of diseases are high. Therefore, from a holistic point of view, adequate measures should be taken to reduce the possibility of the entry of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in educational buildings and the risk of its spread and transmission to students. In this study; The SARS-CoV-2 virus risk management and indoor air quality parameters of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture building, which has the international LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building certificate, on the campus of Erzurum Technical University were evaluated. The importance of the measures to be taken depending on the factors related to HVAC (Heating, ventilation and air conditioning) in order to reduce the transmission and transmission rate of the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) virus was emphasized. In the measurements made in lecture halls; It was determined that CO2 concentrations were between 645.68 and 897.25 ppm on average, indoor temperatures were between 18 and 24 °C, air velocities were between 0.161 m/s and 0.194 m/s, and relative humidity was between 45.35%rH and 58.96% rH.It has been determined that these values are in accordance with international standards. The results of the analysis show that education and training activities can be carried out more safely in green buildings during the COVID-19 process. It has also been determined that LEED certification criteria are assurances against pandemics.Results; It can also guide the determination of security measures in terms of indoor air quality against future pandemics in educational buildings.
