Advanced Use of EPBD based Standards
Roman, Rabenseifer
The set of European standards on EPBD is a wealth of computational procedures and methods for assessment of the indoor environment quality and energy performance of buildings. Not only in assessing the energy performance of buildings, usually resulting from the law, but also in construction practice, only simplified methods are used, although the European standards provide comprehensive numerical procedures based on transient heat transfer. The problem of these comprehensive numerical procedures is their time and training intensity. This can be addressed through so-called generic models controlled via user-friendly interface. The generic models are computer models developed using complex software that allow for selected free design parameters, whereas the parameters related to the in-depth-knowledge are pre-defined. This contribution describes a generic model for assessment of the energy efficiency and indoor comfort of detached low-energy houses and discusses the future use of similar, perhaps less complex models of partial problems in architectural education and energy certification of buildings as well.

In this study Turkish Contractors Association (TCA) members construction fims’ visionary approaches were investigated. A questionnaire has applicated to technical and administrative elements who works in 56 construction firms for evaluation of visionary approach of these firms. In this wise general profile of these firms’ evaluation of visionary approach has been understand and which firms emphasize which characteristics in determine vision investigated. Acquired by findings; these firms emphasizes their quality, trust and technologies in first three; their tangibility, being polyhedral and sensuality followed them. These fims’ emphasis to quality ratios were 64.3%, emphasis on job security were 32.1% and environmental stres ratio were 35.7% in their visions. Turkish construction firms have to create and applicate the most appropriate strategies for being successfull in global competitive race and to carry that success into long term. Our companies’ competitive advantage by providing with a strategic advantage are associeted with their visions.

Cost of Quality in Construction Sector
Recep, Kanıt; Latif Onur, Uğur
In this study, to determine the quality management praftices, to ensure lack of the regulation quality, the cost of quality is to determine the ratio of the total Project cost of the construction firms investigated. Fort his purpose, a questionnaire prepared and asked to the persons which Works in Total Quality Management departments of 54 construction firms from the members of Turkish Association of Contractors. According to the data obtained; all of these firms has quality management systems and certificates, they have quality control elements both in constructyion sites and their centers. Their ratios of receiving professional consulting services business making and during the construction process and and making risk anaysis are low. They have no special test system for choosing persons to their studies, their business, labor and equipmant plansa re not daily controlled.They don’t granted to employees in the job training, theit payments generally interruption because of the manufacturing quality… The biggest cost of quality seems in the production process, then construction site establishment, organisation, mangement activities takes important quality costs. Business making, contracting, production management and data generation process is understood that followed.

The Effect of the Rate of Waste Tire Powder Substitution on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of CEM II Cement

Recycling of waste has a great importance in preservation of the energy and decreasing the global impact that has been created by production of new materials. There is an increasing debate about the use of waste tires because of their environmental and health affects. Waste tires can be used for a range of civil engineering applications. This study investigates the physical and mechanical properties of CEM II (reference) and waste tire powder substituted cements. For this purpose, waste tire powder was substituted as a replacement for CEM II cement in amounts of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 weight %. The effects of waste tire powder on compressive and flexural strength, setting time, water demand and volume expansion were determined by standard tests of cement. As a result, a relative increase according to reference cement pastes was determined in the setting time of the waste tire powder substituted cement pastes. Besides these, a decrease were identified with the 2, 7, 28 and 56 days flexural and compressive strength tests for the waste tire powder substituted cement mortars according to reference cement mortars.
