Mühendislik ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültemizin düzenlediği seminer serisinin yeni konuğu, Prof. Dr. Gülgün Kayakutlu (İTÜ Enerji Enstitüsü) olacak.

Prof. Kayakutlu, 25 Kasım Cuma saat 14:00’te Fener Salonu’nda “Positive Energy Blocks” başlıklı bir sunum yapacak. Etkinlik ilgilenen herkesin katılımına açıktır ve İngilizcedir.

Özet: As the urban population increases, carbon emissions, ecological sustainability and minimum resource use have been the biggest concern of Metropolitan Governance. Smart City projects as electrical transportation, urban agriculture and creating resident prosumers are appreciated in the last few years. The fact that considering the sustainability of a block of buildings creates more energy saving than a new sustainable building construction caused the concept of Positive Energy Blocks (PEB). EU projects of PEB applications started in 2015 and the support for similar connected communities are of big interest in research. This presentation will overview the details of PEB and introduce a small case study. Unlike the previous research our optimization model is focused on both minimizing the energy costs and maximizing the positive environmental effects.

Konuşmacı Hakkında: Prof. Dr. Gülgün Kayakutlu has worked in International Energy Agency, Paris, France, for 7 years as a system engineer after having completed her BSc. and MSc. in Industrial Engineering at Middle East Technical University, Ankara Turkey.
