Özet:

 ABSTRACT The building sector is responsible for a significant portion of global energy consumption and carbon emissions, which greatly impacts environmental sustainability. Critical contemporary issues such as global warming and the rapid depletion of natural resources necessitate the development of innovative strategies to enhance the energy performance of buildings. In this context, photovoltaic integrated biophilic facade systems, grounded in the principles of sustainable architecture, enable buildings to dynamically adapt to environmental conditions. These systems not only improve energy efficiency through solar electricity generation but also contribute to ecological balance by reducing the carbon footprint via biophilic design principles. This study examines the contribution of photovoltaic integrated biophilic facades to sustainable building design and evaluates the impact of different design strategies on energy performance. This study investigates the energy efficiency, carbon emissions, and user comfort impacts of photovoltaic and biophilic façade systems through a comprehensive literature review and case study analysis. The renewable energy generation potential of photovoltaic systems and the natural climate regulation provided by biophilic facades are assessed. Comparative analyses of integrated applications across different climatic regions indicate that these systems reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and enhance indoor environmental quality. The findings highlight the critical role of these systems in sustainable building design and their effectiveness in achieving energy efficiency goals.

 ÖZ Yapı sektörü enerji tüketimi ve karbon salınımının önemli bir bölümünden sorumludur ve bu durum çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerinde büyük bir etkiye sahiptir. Küresel ısınma ve doğal kaynakların hızla tükenmesi gibi çağımızın en kritik sorunları yapıların enerji performansını artırmaya yönelik yenilikçi stratejilerin geliştirilmesini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, sürdürülebilir mimarlık anlayışına dayalı fotovoltaik entegre biyofilik cephe sistemleri yapıların çevresel koşullara dinamik olarak uyum sağlamasını mümkün kılarak hem güneş enerjisinden elektrik üretimiyle enerji verimliliğini artırmakta hem de biyofilik tasarım ilkeleri sayesinde karbon ayak izini azaltarak ekolojik dengeye katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, fotovoltaik entegre biyofilik cephe sistemlerinin sürdürülebilir yapı tasarımına katkısı incelenmiş ve farklı tasarım stratejilerinin enerji performansı üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın kapsamında, literatür taraması ve vaka incelemeleri kullanılarak fotovoltaik ile biyofilik cephe sistemlerinin enerji etkinliği, karbon emisyonları ve kullanıcı konforuna etkileri araştırılmıştır. Fotovoltaik sistemlerin yenilenebilir enerji üretimi biyofilik sistemlerin ise doğal iklimlendirme yoluyla sürdürülebilirliğe katkısı değerlendirilmiş; farklı iklim bölgelerindeki entegre uygulamalar karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler bu sistemlerin enerji tüketimini azalttığını, karbon emisyonlarını düşürdüğünü ve iç mekan konforunu arttırdığını göstermektedir. Sonuçlar sürdürülebilir yapı tasarımında bu sistemlerin kritik bir rol oynadığını ve enerji verimliliği hedeflerine ulaşmak için etkili bir çözüm sağladığını göstermektedir.
