The aim of the course:
Nowadays, the performance of buildings is determined according to energy consumption and cost criteria. In the early design phase passive and active measures can be taken to reduce energy consumption in the buildings, and energy consumption can be reduced thanks to these measures. However, reducing energy consumption alone does not mean that building performance is high. A building must be both energy and cost effective. Determining the performance of buildings according to initial investment costs is wrong. In order for a building to be cost-effective, in addition to the initial investment cost, costs such as maintenance, repair, operation and residual value that will arise during the life cycle must be low. Within the scope of this course, it is aimed to teach life cycle cost analysis in order to be able to choose cost effective ones among different building alternatives and to be able to make the right decision during the design phase.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : In the design phase, they will be able to decide between energy and cost effective alternative among different building alternatives;10,12
PO - 2 : Gain the ability to forecast and analyze risks for the future;10,12
PO - 3 : The use of life cycle cost analysis will gain the ability to use and get results from common software programs;10,12
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
