NEED4B aims to develop an open and easily replicable methodology for designing, constructing, and operating new low
energy buildings, aiming to a large market applications. The project incorporates a strong demonstration program over the
construction of 27.000 m2 buildings, spread among 5 demo sites, one of which is at the Özyeğin University campus. In
the demo sites, the energy consumption is planned to be 65% less yjan the norm and the CO2 emission to be 90% less
compared to regular practices. Özyeğin Building, SCOLA, is already finished and monitoring of the use has started.
A first version of the NEED4B methodology is developed and then refined and improved within a feedback process supported
by the experience gathered during design, construction and operation phases of the demo sites.
An extensive monitoring phase lasting 2 years is deployed. The dissemination potential of the project is leveraged due to the
individual strengths of the demo sites regarding visibility and impact. Regarding the exploitation of the results, exploitation
plans are developed containing SWOT analysis, exploitation roadmaps and analysis of the innovation value. Additional to
the project outputs one of which is the state of the art SCOLA building, there will be 5 Masters thesis of the students involved
in the project. The goal is to demonstrate the methodology and associated impacts by developing real cases going beyond
current market standards but ensuring the replicability of the concepts deployed. Pınar Mengüç leads a group of engineers,
architects and administrative people to reach the targets of the NEED4B project.
