Abstract
The building sector accounts for 30% to 40% of total energy consumption, and historic buildings play an important role in this proportion. Historical buildings that do not meet the required comfort conditions for the residents are adaptively reused, with various revisions. Recognizing the energy design of a historical building in its original condition and comparing the current situation can help create future solutions. This study examines the changes that a historic house in a hot climate zone in Türkiye experiences, from its original state up until the current situation. Energy analyses of the pre- and post-restoration situation are carried out, and the effect of adaptive reuse decisions on the energy performance of the building is investigated. A dynamic thermal simulation created with DesignBuilder was used to identify the energy use, carbon emissions, and thermal comfort. TM59 adaptive thermal comfort was used for the pre-restoration and the Fanger model for the post-restoration phase. This building, which was repurposed from a three-block residence, consists of a four-block hotel. Although the preservation of its original value is at the forefront, various structural changes were observed. The analysis demonstrates a higher occurrence of discomfort hours during summer compared to winter, consistent across both phases. Furthermore, energy consumption increased significantly, predominantly for heating, representing a doubling of energy use during the post-restoration phase. This is attributed to the building’s conversion into a hotel and the use of mechanical systems. Future research is required to develop strategies to reduce the energy consumption, carbon emissions, and discomfort hours while maintaining the value of the historic building and its materials.
