CEEE / EÇEM CEEE at Özyeğin University was established in 2009 to offer integrated engineering and architectural solutions for problems related to energy, environment and economy, in a sustainable manner. CEEE’s interdisciplinary studies are classified under four vertical subject areas: >> energy efficiency in buildings >> human-space interaction >> nano-scale thermal sciences >> radiative / heat transfer
CEEE develops multi-disciplinary strategies in all these areas.
>> interdisciplinary studies from nano-scale to urban-scale
>> integrated engineering and architectural solutions
>> knowledge transfer to the society
What do we do? research focus: >> energy efficiency in buildings >> human-space interaction >> nano-scale thermal sciences >> radiative / heat transfer Through these vertical research studies, CEEE continuously develops innovative, practical, and open-source methodologies not only to cater to the existing needs and necessities in the sector, but also to identify and bring solutions to new needs stemming out from ever-changing dynamics. To this end, CEEE research is transfer to: >> European Union / TĂœBÄ°TAK / industry collaboration projects >> master and PhD Theses >> patents and methodology roadmaps >> consulting services for specific applications

roadmaps including ’’ The Methodology for Energy Efficiency in New Buildings” and the “Renovation Strategies for Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings” with the help of two major European Union Projects, NEED4B and BRICKER.
Buildings are priority areas to address new energy efficient strategies as they are responsible for 40% of the total energy consumption, 25% of water consumption, and almost one third of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

new low energy buildings in different climatic zones with different end-uses, which has a high potential for a large market uptake. The project boasts a strong demonstration program which has allowed the construction of the 17,000 m2 SCOLA Building in the Özyeğin University Campus, İstanbul, Turkey. The annual energy consumption achieved in SCOLA has been registered as 50 kWh/m2/year, compared to 255 kWh/m2/year in typical academic buildings in Turkey.

We combined the EEC with an extended “Integrated Project Delivery” (IPD) wheel concept (EEC-IPDW, for short), which is shown to be an effective approach to enable the key design principles to be carried out from the time of inception of a building to its daily operation at the end.

•Envelope retrofitting solutions for demand reduction through made-to-measure façades, innovative insulation materials and high performance windows. •Zero emissions energy production technologies based on a cogeneration system fed with locally available and clean renewable sources. •Integration and operation strategies´ The BRICKER project is funded under the European Union’s 7th Framework Programme. The EU-FP7 collaborative project undertaken by CEEE is jointly conducted by researchers, professionals, companies and technology specialized SMEs from Spain, Belgium, Poland, Italy and Turkey. BRICKER aims to develop a retrofitting solution package for existing public-owned non-residential buildings in order to achieve a drastic reduction of the energy consumption (beyond 50%) and GHG emissions in this sector. This retrofitting package is based on:
development for the BRICKER Technologies and guidance for design, commissioning and maintenance. The retrofitting solution package has been implemented in multi-buildings complexes, located in different climate conditions with different end-uses, with emphasis on sanitary and educational user. The Turkish demonstration site is the A Block of Adnan Menderes University Hospital located in the campus of the university in Aydın it is being developed and monitored in collaboration with Adnan Menderes University, Onur Energy and CEEE, Özyeğin University.
Capacity Development for Future Builders Project EU / CFCU / CAPACITY 2017 - 2018
The project is taking place at the Taşdelen IMKB, Nesrin Uçmaklıoğlu, and Hüseyin Avni Sipahi Vocational and Technical Anatolian High Schools in Çekmeköy, İstanbul. In addition to data collection in these buildings, the current legislation and curriculum will be reviewed, all of which will culminate into the preparation of a series of guides. These guides will be used to renovate buildings to evolve to low energy efficient buildings, add the energy efficiency dimension to the municipalities’ zoning legislations, The CEEE’s Future Builders project

Transfer of thermal energy from one object to another is realized by conduction, convection or radiation, which constitute the three modes of heat transfer. Radiative transfer is different from both conduction and convection mechanisms as it does not require any intermediate medium between the objects exchanging energy. Radiative transfer is achieved via electromagnetic waves, and depends on the frequency of the waves, their polarization and coherence. In addition, the scattering by particles or any types of heterogeneity in the medium makes the radiative transfer phenomena a three-dimensional one, and necessitates the solution of integro-differ-
ential radiative transfer equation. The solution of this equation is complex, yet it is required for many engineering problems from flames to furnaces to the atmospheric interactions related climate change concerns. On the other hand, if two object are in close proximity within each other, the mechanism of radiative transfer becomes different, and requires the handling of plasmonic and phononic interactions. This so called near-field radiation transfer phenomena is quite important for the development of next generation energy harvesting devices and sensors. CEEE researchers are working on both the fundamental and applied problems on radiative transfer and heat transfer. Covering a wide array of fields from higher energy efficiency in industrial systems to thermal comfort in buildings, these studies are developed within Özyeğin University as well as in cooperation with the faculty from Sabancı University, Boğaziçi University, and METU. The sixth edition of “Thermal Radiation Heat Transfer”, one of the best known books authored on heat transfer by Howell, Mengüç, and Siegel, was published in 2016. Also, Prof. Mengüç is one of the three chief editors of the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, one of the most recognized journals in this field.
