Özet

Solar control is one of the most important steps of creating comfort conditions in buildings to create a sustainable architecture and a sustainable future. Comfort conditions describe the position at which people feel themselves comfortable. The aim of solar control is to detail the orientation, windows and shading elements of the building so they gain minimum heat in the overheated period, and lose minimum heat in the underheated period. By using solar control, buildings provide human needs with the minimum energy use. Therefore the aim of this study is to examine flow solar control is used in the existing building stock in Izmir and to propose suggestions for providing comfort conditions with less energy use for a sustainable future. This will be done by describing comfort conditions, solar control and its use in existing building stock in Izmir and a Suggestion for a better result will be proposed.
